Reply #110: I was outed

[FreeState]

I was outed to my Mormon parents while I was a college student in a leadership position. While I was not being a hypocrite, I was not out to my parents (who lived in a different state than the school I was at). I knew it was a possibility when I took the position that I would be outed. I weighed my options and took the position knowing it might happen.

In my opinion if you are going to be serving the public, be it student body, or otherwise, your personal life is fair game. Is it fair? No. Its called life in american politics, how can we know someone's character without looking into their personal life? It should not matter who you sleep with, however it is the closeted GLBT persons that make it matter to the conservatives.
