just because you are comfortable talking about it doesn't mean everyone else is in that position. this forum has a lot of childish people who would love to have new reasons to torment people, we shouldn't be giving them fuel.
people trash other posters when they find out they are older... or on GD for being a teenager or because the person comes from new market or isn't canadian or because they like Tampa. We are more diversified than most think, but many don't bring it up openly because they see how people here react. Cecil made the mistake of posting a pic with family members portrayed in the pic and the response from some in here was disgusting.
that is why we leave those things to the people who are different. we accept for who they are no matter what and if they choose to talk to anyone here about personal things they can do it of their own accord.
