Wouldn't more people feel comfortable being openly gay if there wasn't an embarrassing sounding euphemism like "coming out of the closet" to describe it?

Why is that an embarrassing sounding euphemism?

No. It's just the commonly accepted term. No one thinks about how the words sound. Like how someone might think Jasper is a strange name when they meet you but after months of friendship it's just what you're called.

I think there's more of a stigma attached to being in the closet than out at this point.
At least that's how it looks from my perspective in the liberal utopia of Chicagoland.

Aside from the sex with men thing, I often find I have more in common with gay dudes then the straights.
There's this person at work who I'd just always assumed was an out and proud gay man. Everything about him - the way he talks, laughs and dresses, mannerisms, musical taste, sense of humor, pretty sure he doesn't watch sports - are pretty in line with other homosexuals I know. But then he showed up at the company party with a female fiance, and I'm not sure I can even relate to the guy anymore.
Also, I have two healthy online male/male platonic relationships with men named Jasper.
I don't think I've ever met anyone with that name irl, though.

Did any of you guys watch the Super Bowl? [Waits for applause to stop] What is the deal with all of these beer commercials? I think these companies should fire their marketing guys. "We have this product that literally EVERYBODY who watches sports likes." "I've got a great idea: let's pay millions of dollars to show some commercials to a bunch of guys who are already drinking our product WHILE THEY'RE WATCHING THOSE COMMERCIALS."[Audience laughs for hours.]

Closest I can get to that: I remember coming back from art camp when I was 16 and thinking, "I might not care about football as much as I previously thought."

I still don't get the Christmas part of it. Jesus & nails seems like an easter joke to me.

my mother agreed and it's interesting you both like the joke that's actually about hitting women with shovels over the stupid pun

What you hate in others is really what you hate most about yourself.
is this true or just a wise-sounding saying that people like to repeat?
