At work if one needs a police check we have to put in our AKA on the form the bosses view!

Police have our AKA on the computer next to our current name anytime they look us up!

We have no choice about this no one wants to know or cares about it.

We come out when it is the right time for us. However, if someone is anti-gay and homophobic in public, then they deserve to be outed if they are gay themselves

I say, if you love, share if you want or don’t share if you don’t want – no matter who you love. Anyone who wants to make it a political issue out of it can get nicked.

It wasn’t a nice experience. We all deserve the right to come out in our own way and time and on our own terms.
