Hi all! Congratulations for making the initiative to get discreet/bi people together. I always wonder how in the world could closet-queens be able to form support groups, without revealing their identities to the society. Anyway, I've been blessed to have a liberal-minded family, but I have always feared our culture isn't as open minded as them. In my personal opinion, kahit alam na lipunan natin na it's not all black and white (may gray-levels din), there's still a long road ahead towards gaining acceptance and understanding of the third sex. It's hard being a stereotypical, cross-dressing, Parlor-type gay, but it's more difficult denying self-expression (and identity) by acting straight infront of the whole world. Being discreet has its downsides, you can't openly search for your partner. You chose to hide your feelings in exchange of respect. To those who can't understand what I wrote, buti pa kayo. Unless the day comes when even innocent children respect people regardless of their sexual orientation, discreet people will still abound yet remain hidden in the safety of their altered shells.
