    So, as some of you know I came out recelty at work and to most of my friends.
    Odd thing happened yesterday. Someone called me and said, "You'll never believe you came out right after you!"

    Long story short. There was girl at work who came out when she heard that had. So, to anyone who might think your alone out there, fighting against the current of things, your not. Hang in there. There are plenty of people who will understand, even if some people don't.

    Wow, that is amazing.

    It just shows how great it is when people find the courage to come out and how inspiring it is to others.

    Yes - I have to believe that there are other people that feel as insecure as I do about my orientation at work. I don't know a single openly gay person in the office.

    I'm glad you had a positive and empowering impact on someone else. Congrats!

    that is really good to hear. Well it demostrates those that come out are a role model for others that are closeted.
