@BasketBaller, I have followed your threads but I don't believe I have ever posted on them; I would encourage you to continue to take steps to be out in your life; it's important for you as a human being, but also for all of us. I started the process almost 20 years ago--telling parents, children, high school friends, college friends, you name it! And now I quite enjoy it when a client asks about my wife, I gently correct them and say "no, my husband" and watch the reaction; it gives me an opportunity to let them know we are citizens in all walks of life.
