First of all, the answer to this question will always be personal. Everyone is going to have different choices and different reasons to choose one thing or another.
I cannot easily tell anyone they are doing the incorrect thing about their own choices as to how to react to outing. Although I call them to task for saying one thing pre-outing and then doing another post-outing. That means, at least, that they didn't think about it too well pre-outing. Which might not be a sin, but which I hope will help everyone who comes after to think it better.
However, you asked for personal answers. I will give you my personal answers.
If you were outed, what sacrifices would you make to continue to be with the girl[s] you loved?
I for one, and I know many others on GC, do not have permanent LGFs. The reasons why themselves vary from person to person. I only want to point out that your assumption is incorrect for many, and from it derive many alternatives you seem to not consider or to not like.
In my case, lack of permanent LGFs is a choice.
I also stand by my own belief that if I wanted I could have one or many permanent LGFs, even illegal LGFs if I pursued that. (I am not saying I would never be caught, only that I would be able to get that if I wanted.)
I just don't want the risk of putting her in harm's way through entertaining a relationship with her.
Would you give up GC?
If I was outed in RL and nick-linked, no.
If I was outed in RL but not nick-linked, I would probably abandon my nick and have a new one, even periodically changing them again. But I would still not leave.
Would you claim to be "cured"?
No. Lying does not increase credibility. Unless you're some sort of president.
Would you stop your political activism?
No. I would scale it up, because then I would automatically have much less to lose.
What do they really mean to you?
That nobody else, and certainly antis least of all, control my heart. Neither do I, really, when you get to it - but at least I am closer to it and I am the one that feels what comes of it.
What would you do to continue to be with the ones you love most?
Since I already chose to forgo them, I wouldn't need to do anything about them again.
Would you consider "selling out" to be more dire and destructive to your well-being and sense of identity than giving up contact with very reason you're here?
Yes, because I already gave up that part. If I also give up what remains, then what is left?
Which is more important to you?
1. Being true to myself.
2. Being true to children.
3. Children are not my pawns.
These questions are not to be taken lightly. Give them a good deal of thought before answering, expound on your reasons, and please be honest.
Indeed. I hope you get many answers.
