If nothing else, I'm going to have a whole different perspective on your posts from now on.

There are many problematic and personal choices involved in coming out/being out as a queer; that is without question. Only you can decide how you're going to deal with the difficulties you've been given.

But really, T.,

"And what are these pipe dreams we call sexual equality, minor's rights, etc. when taken against the flesh and blood of a real, living, breathing girl? In that respect, placing your activism above your girl doesn't just sound cold; it sounds perverse and appears to give lie to this moniker of 'girl lover' so many of us have adopted."

Do I really have to point out the absurdity of a position that essentially says "it's selfish to campaign for the fundamental rights of countless future children at the expense of the relationships you might have with a handful of girls in the present"? 'Girl love' is no less loving when its objects are unborn and nonreciprocating.
