A further thought directly taken from Ron on that thread:
Everyone, one of my key points on this thread is to state that gay people were able to gain some recognition, and most importantly legal protection from bashing, when they were able to enlist support from straight people who had voices in the power structure
I have a good friend at work who is more of a boardgamer, but totally validates my RPG-ing, mostly because she used to live in Seattle and know game designers there. She's the project's lead designer (of a big old corporate money web site), and has much cool cachet, which she generously spreads to me... because I'm a homo who can talk handbags with her in a way that nobody else on the floor can. So being out as gay is a double-plus-good help to coming out as a gamer. Whodathunkit?
