    Hi!
    I'm hoping to find somewhere I can feel somehow less alone. All the lesbians I know (in one of my double lives) are totally out and proud, while it's not safe to be out with all the straight people I know (in a custody battle, family, etc not really accepting of homosexuality). Angry and depressed that if I come out, my soon to be ex husband will find out and use it to take me to court and take custody away, now during the battle and at any point in our lives. Lawyer says in our county they rarely even let gays adopt let alone giving an open lesbian child custody in a battle situation. I thought maybe I could come out after the divorce and live the life I am supposed to lead but now I'll have to be in constant fear. I'm just so, so angry that I STILL have to keep myself a secret potentially forever when I thought maybe I could be happy.
