First...I mean no offense to anyone on this board that is closeted, that being said...

As a Gay man who has been out since birth (you get the picture), has endured the stereotypical abuse, discrimination and all around nastiness that ignorant folks are prone to create, I have a real problem with closeted adults.

If children can have the courage to be open about who they are, then there is NO EXCUSE for adults to be closeted. Adults are equipped to handle stressful situations, kids aren't, but more and more children are realizing who they are at younger ages.

As far as I'm concerned the only thing a closeted adult is good for is intel...getting the open proud gay community the inside dirt on their bosses, clergy, politicians so the open gay community has what it needs to fight for our rights.
