THE NEW KID IN TOWN HAS A SECRET
| 
Sep 18 10:06 UTC 1995 |
You move to a new town and you have some secret that is generally not accepted
where you come from (i.e. homosexual paegan gamer (or anything you can think
of)) and a friend that you have confided this secret to tells you to be open
with it because your in a liberal town do you come out with it even though
it could mean reticule or physical harm
(yes I come from the home of the Christain Right { help me please} and yes
I can't speel)

I don't recommend this kind of action to everyone, because it's my personal
opinion, so I'm not saying this is what person should do, it's what I would
do.
I'd be open about, damn them all. To take it to the extreme: even if it means
death, it's better to die as who you really are, than to live as someone your
not.
I've never been in such an extreme circumstance (though I have been threatened
with physical violence, and once beaten up), but I'd like to think that is what
I would do.

Hmm... I was kinda in a situation like this... I had a secret which I
only told one person and I knew he wouldn't tell anyone else. I was
meeting a whole lot of new people at that point, all of whom he already
knew from a year ago. I didn't tell anyone else until about half a
year later when it accidentally slipped out and by that time, they knew
me well enough and accepted me as is that they didn't care anymore.
But I'm glad I didn't accidentally slip any earlier... it might not have
gone over well.

I'd probably wait a while, see what the additudes are on such things, then
if I felt secure enough, I might tell. Btw, tyger, I know how you feel,
being myself in a city that has been called the "Buckle of the Bible Belt."

Well, I would not conceal it, anyway.Conflict makes life more entertaining,
and,well, as Someone said,you can rearrange my face, but you can't rearrange
my mind.

I would do what I always do when I have something that I need to say
but no one available to talk to. I'd write it all down in a letter to someone
that I knew. Depending on the secret and how I thought the person I am writing
to would react, I might send it, I might just keep it. in the event that at
some point I found a friend grew to trust them to a certain point I would tell
them about it if it was still burning in my mind
