At last for the first time in my life, I can say what I mean.

That is what being out truly means for me. It and retirement have coincided.

I am no longer thinking "would a client disapprove, would an employer disapprove?" Instead I can be as honest as I choose. I can hurl the bricks I need to hurl at the bigots and others who need to have them hurled at them.

So, when I see things like this: http://timtrent.blogspot.com/2009/12/bbc-produces-turd-with-cherry-on-top.html I can write about them.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
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
