		<description>I lived in blissful denial until the age of 25, which is probably why I had a wonderful childhood and why the act of coming out of the closet was uniformly positive for me, aided - of course - by my adoptive lesbian moms who immediately took me under their wing and showed me just how wonderful an open and honest life could be.

Steve says, &quot;&lt;em&gt;I think a lot of us are fortunate to have a more experienced Mo take us under his/her wing&lt;/em&gt;.&quot;</description>

		<description>oh hell yea. I came out to my parents (no actually they found out when they discovered the porn) when I was around 15 or 16. They immediately sent me to a Christian organisation which aims to &quot;cure&quot; through counselling and prayer. Needless to say, it was quite ineffective (and troublesome too). Right now, I just tell them that I&#039;m straight and fine and dandy because I don&#039;t want to go through that again. 

Recently, I came out to one of my girl-friends. She was surprisingly calm and took it well. You can read about it on my blog. That went much better than I expected:)

Steve says, &quot;&lt;em&gt;My own life experience has shown that it usually does turn out way better than expected&lt;/em&gt;.&quot;

		<description>No, it was easy. Maybe it has to do with a more tolerant country.
