I hope that one day that changes. But sometimes, it's quite alright to agree to disagree. It's what makes us humans and allows for interesting dialog.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-90769118462399292712011-09-04T17:39:25.065-04:002011-09-04T17:39:25.065-04:00Joe...

If I were asked to describe myself, I would first say that I was a teacher. A teacher is really who I am. I think that everyone should be out and proud of who you are, but it can be quite dangerous for some kids.<br /><br />Pinocchi0, I have been mostly back in the closet for two years because of where I live and my job. I am still who I am, that will never change. My advice for you would be to gauge the situation one day at a time and see how the others might react. If you just be who you are, it won't matter whether or not you officially proclaim your sexuality to others to keep private. Just don't be ashamed of who you are.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-62305434947859895242011-09-03T15:19:17.770-04:002011-09-03T15:19:17.770-04:00Hmmmm...

I think it may be the better idea not to do it... In Germany I'm out of the closet, so I shall probably have a strange feeling being in the closet again...<br /><br />What do you think?Pinocchi0https://www.blogger.com/profile/09054186780733198472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-42223017673642793242011-09-03T12:54:33.406-04:002011-09-03T12:54:33.406-04:00Anyone who knows me or reads my blog, know I think...Anyone who knows me or reads my blog, know I think every single guy should be out. But I do agree with all the above advise for this young guy. Highschool kids can be cruel!<br />On thing I do not agree with that Joe Kort said was<br />"When you come out without your fellow students knowing you at all, all they see is gay and not who you are."<br />Wait a minute....!! <br />Gay IS who you are... who else are you?queer heavenhttp://web.me.com/michaelmicha/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-20466351939093310642011-09-02T11:19:10.405-04:002011-09-02T11:19:10.405-04:00Privacy vs secretcy--I would advise privacy for th...Privacy vs secretcy--I would advise privacy for the student for all the reasons stated.silvereaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13811098608576016926noreply@blogger.com
