Hmm… I thought there could be something going on between the two of you… but of course wasn’t quite sure. (only because I had doubts) But now that it’s been confirmed… congrats! 🙂 F\_X ---

How wonderful! Best to you both! So…umm… assuming someone is eventually hired for the Sworn Enemy position, does this mean said Sworn Enemy has to contend with a MODERATOR in the enemy’s corner? Cuz that’s really kinda stacking the deck, you know. ---

I’m not surprised. I’m not sure why. I read the announcement and thought, “Well, yeah.” Many happinesses to the both of ya anyway. You both deserve it. ---

Thanks, everyone. It’s been a rather difficult year for me. Trying to come to terms with everything hasn’t been easy. But as **Euty** said, he and I have been friends for a while now, and we’ve held each other up through a lot of stuff. A rock-solid friendship developed, before we ever even met face-to-face (the one-year anniversary of that meeting is next Saturday, in fact). It’s kind of amusing how we are together. We have an awful lot in common, but our personalities are very different. I like to say that “our mental illnesses compliment each other quite well.” We just fit together…well, perfectly. Patrick is a wonderful man. I’m better for knowing him. And though I know this year isn’t going to be an easy one for either of us, I know that we’ll both come out fine on the other side. Oh…if you’d like a clue as to how our relationship really works…read my sig. It’s from a conversation that took place just this afternoon. 🙂 ---

This is great, but can she still touch my head at Dopefests? And can you still kiss **Ed Zotti**? I only thought it was about that kind of coming out a _little_. ---

Hey! Some GOOD news around here! Congrats you two - and the offer for dinner at the beach in Malibu is officially extended if and when you get out to the Left Coast. Ric and Kathy ---

I dunno, **Persephone**. Narragansett Bay is even grayer and hazier than Lake St. Claire and Millionaire’s Row is not nearly as impressive as Grosse Pte. Farms (although you _are_ allowed to _walk_ along the Row without having a cop demanding to know why you’re there). I think you ought to make Pat move to Michigan. Other than that, congratulations. ---

Michigan has it’s pretty places, indeed. But with the exception of the current Michigan Doper Contingent, this state pretty well blows goats. So, I’m outta here. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coming-out/164422.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coming-out/164422.md?page=3)
