11. On one level, I pity this guy. He never managed to get up the courage to
admit his own identity because of...shame? guilt? fear? Whatever. I personally know at least 3 guys who spent the greater part of their lives living that same lie. All three of these friends married and fathered children, (Actually, one of them is my own brother in law) to project the 'proper' image I suppose. God knows how many others are still trapped in the same kind of peer-powered snare. So we figuratively crucify this guy and I have to admit a touch of Schadenfreude because of his well-known anti-gay rhetoric but I have to wonder how he will manage to put what life he has back together.

Obviously, all the heartache that comes from these kinds of situations would be unnecessary if people would just get over their fucking judgmental attitudes and let everyone be. I can't stop without a :grr:
