That is, of course anyone from the UK Royal Family speaking. "One might say one is one, but if one is not believed, how does one prove one is one?"

To be fair, 99% of the time proof is not necessary. But if one is caught up in something too weird to be true, and yet it is true, there suddenly becomes an overriding need to prove that one is real. And, over the past few days and weeks a situation has arisen where it has become necessary for someone to prove that he is real and is where he says he is.

The thing is, quite reasonably, he does not want to reveal personal details. That is intimidating and invasive. He should not have to give street address etc. So, how can he prove beyond reasonable doubt that he is real while staying behind a "Clark Kent" identity? He is happy to reveal a picture of himself to relevant people, but how does he prove that this is not just "any smiling youth", and is he, himself?

It should also be something that the person who needs him to prove it can return and still feel safe behind real anonymity until such time as they can each know the other is real.

This has arisen because of a series of events that are larger than life, and are simply unbelievable. I am not going in to them here, nor, please should anyone who has been party to them reveal them here. But the events themslves are so strange as to stretch belief thinner than is reasonable. Add to this an IP address that points to a country other than the one that is in need of provng he is real and where he says he is, and you get a situation where trust is impossible until proven.

So, those involved need your help, because there is a romance in the background here, and that romance is either real or is abusive. And that situation needs resolution.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
