**** SLIGHT FLAME ON ****

	It is not a matter of wanting to be so visible as a gay
but we don't want to worry about losing a job, being kicked out
of our homes just becasue we are gay.
	I would like to advertise for a gay roommate without
having to fear that if found out I lose all the above. I would
like to let people know that I am gay, so that if there is another
person gay, who is hiding, might meet with me. We as gays
would like to be able to walk about the earth meet people of
our kind, not have to hide and fear for our survival, to be able
to openly try to meet others, with the same perference. I don't
like looking at someone and wondering if he is gay, asking for a 
date, finding out he is not gay and getting him mad. I would like
to know who is gay and just ask them and prevent all the hassels.

	Interestingly those people who fear that we will
harm there children. would know who we are if we did not have to
hide, and then they could their little brats away from us.
