Sworn to Secrecy?

 I want to share my coming out story here at some point. But as I've thought about what to include and what is relevant, I've gotten sort of... stuck. The thing is, my story involves other people. Some of those people may not want any part of their lives broadcast on the internet... and it's unfortunately not as simple as just changing a few names. 

I have had a few relationships with “straight” women that were not known to the public on one level or another. Because these women see themselves as residing on the straight end of the spectrum or they decide they don’t want to be seen as gay – whatever – there was a need to keep the relationship under wraps at the time. This has had many troublesome aspects in and of itself, but an issue more relevant to this blog is how far do I go to protect the identities of these women? In some situations, it will be difficult to tell my story without possibly ‘outing’ someone. Where do I draw the line?

  1. haha no one knows how to comment on this blog because 1. it is too vague if you don't really know the story and 2. if you do, then you cant really say anything for the same reasons you just mentioned...
