Salt * Wet * Fish

As for my Dad, well, I think he will get to know about it sooner or later. Don’t get me wrong, I am not acting straight in front of him. I have never hinted that I ever had a girlfriend, nor ever talked about girls with him. In fact, I showed much distaste when he talked about such matters. Neither do I act different with my Dad, still the caring, crazy son he has.

I still have 2 more half-brothers, both married from my father’s side (different mom), whom I do intend to let them know about it. Its just that we almost seldom or never meet. Even, so opportunities are not there. However, now that both of them are married, they will definitely talk about this boring topic with me, if and when we meet, and guess what my reply will be?
In the Army

I had a chance for another coming out session in during reservist in Brunei recently. We are in our commanders training phase, where only the sergeants and officers are training. The bunch us are sitting around the bunk talking, when one of the officers (my Coy 2IC actually) talked about the Speakers’ Corner and how Alex Au want to speak there about gay issues. Of course, the facts are not correct and, hence, I had a chance to correct them. After that, they started asking more about me being gay, how I feel about it, how I feel about women, etc. Of course, one of my very Christian mate was encouraging me to look at the alternatives, which I assured him won’t make a difference. Again, knowing my sexual orientation never effected how my commanders think about me or, indeed, how much they trust to be with me in their missions.
At Work

I have recently joined a new company, so effectively, I am not “out” yet. However, my colleague, who is a married man with a newborn, actually pop the question to me. Of course, I was out to him. What is funny is that he was more worried about people knowing about me (because I talked quite loud sometimes in the office) than I was. Well, I don’t know if its because he was worried of people associating me with him. Anyhow, the reason he could sort of tell, is that he had studied in Melbourne and had gay friends. Secondly, my first day lunch, I had indicated that I was not attached, married, nor have intention to.
… and Friends

hmmm… I seemed to have come out to most of my friends by now…
