Isara -> RE: comming out (2/2/2006 4:52:10 AM)
|
While I certainly don't see what I do as 'taboo' I do understand that I am always going to have to be especially discreet with certain people in my life, especially my father and brothers.
They wouldn't understand my choices, and while it might sound simplistic to some to so suddenly dismiss the thought of telling them, I understand their value systems, and while I was raised with the same ones as they were, in the same environment even, my take of it was always different.
As it stands, we love eachother, and get on, with only the barest of disagreements, my lovers have always been very discreet, and have always made sure never to do anything to unsettle the apple cart and for that I'm very grateful.
If however, I came out now? I'd doubtless lose my job, and my ability to work with children. I know I am a responsible adult, who would never hurt a child, an abused woman, or vulnrable client, male or female I was working with, but society wouldn't see it that way.
I'm comforted by the knowledge that only a few years ago, Paganism, Wicca and other things non-mainstream such as being homosexual were clandestine and "wicked" things. It will only be a matter of time, a prominant film star for instance "coming out" etc and suddenly it'll be "cool" or what have you. *wry grin*
So, for now?
I'm content to lurk in the shadows. :)
