1. K&R

Each person that comes out makes it easier for the next person, and I'm glad to hear she's doing well.

Apparently I liked this thread so much I recced it three times. Huh.

2. LOL about the recs.

I agree...each person who comes out makes it easier for others. I also think it is important that she is an African-American woman, a demographic not often associated with GLBT.

5. The comments are depressing

I know, I know, I shouldn't ever read the comments but I just can't stop myself. And this was a bunch of anti-gay smears, even including that "Pink Swastika" bullshit.

6. You say "I know, I know..." but....

NEVER read the comments, unless you are just wanting to be pissed off. The only thing else they are good for is to demonstrate how much further we have to go.

Thought I read something about that a year or two ago.
