    I was just reading an article in Huffpost about Fred Phelps' death and the effect of Phelps on his hometown.

    In that article was a very short quote from a gay man that I found really profound:

    That's probably the best and clearest definition of why being closeted creates and contributes to shame that I've ever heard.

    Just some food for thought :slight_smile:

    Wow. People who have discriminated gays and told them that nobody should know they're gay should see that.
