If I was gay, why would I hide it?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not saying that being gay is what defines me, but at the same time, if you feel like you have to hide it, then it becomes what defines you. You keep it hidden, and the secret becomes you.
If I was gay, why wouldn't I admit it? It wouldn't harm me.
Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.
If I was ashamed of who I am, I would be in the closet.
It wasn't a secret that I was gay. I'd come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car.
I don't keep it secret that I live with my partner Gio. I'm very proud of my gayness. But there is lots I wouldn't want the press to write about me... it is a matter of regret that being gay is the most interesting thing about me.
You can't hide God in you. God was not meant to become part of you, and you hide out in the closet. I don't think He wanted that. I think He wanted people to see the Christ in you that reflects Him.
In the '50s and '60s, the life of a gay man was a secret. Homosexuality was illegal, so you didn't draw attention to yourself.
I have lived my life very openly, and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!
Everybody knew me as a gay man, and in my life in London, I never tried to hide.
