Are Your Family Members Closeted Gay Fans?

Tuesday January 6, 2009
I had already come out to my dad's side of the family. I was comfortable being out and looked forward to our vacation together, even though I was the only gay one on the trip. I thought there might be moments when I would be uncomfortable, but what resulted instead was their discomfort. I was out, but I didn't anticipate them still being in the closet about their feelings.

In the group, the word "gay" was never spoken. But then came the pro-gay whispers in my ear. Were my family members closeted gay fans?
