2. That's my concern, that society isn't accepting of this.

Honestly, I'm in the wrong here on several issues, I freely admit that. Morally in the wrong, but on a practical level, I see it as a matter of self-preservation.

The one thing I told her was that it would be nice if society were as open minded about this as some of the professionals who keep insisting there is no problem here with coming out.

I guess I can hope the acceptance level increases over the years as it did with the GLBT community. But they got there because a lot of courageous people fought for their rights and for acceptance. And it was a very hard struggle that still isn't over.

I'm pretty drained of that kind of courage.
