This Sunday's GB meet will be the usual relaxed fun Sunday meet in Bandra but we will have a bit of a focus. October 11th has been designated (not sure by who) Coming Out Day in the US, and taking out inspiration from that we'll be talking about coming out this Sunday.
Let me state upfront that GB takes no strong position on coming out. We feel that, in a general way, its the best thing to do, but we recognise that everyone has personal circumstances and levels of comfort that will dictate when you want to come out. There's no requirement at any GB meet - even this Coming Out Day one - that you have to be out or intend to come out. What we will do though is talk about it. How you did it (if you have). Why you don't want to (if you haven't). Tactics on how to do it. Warnings about how not to do it. Discussions on how to handle friends or partners who have or haven't done it. How to do it in groups (oops, maybe wrong sort of doing it). How to handle things if it happens by accident. And whether doing it makes all that much difference. So whether you've done it or not, come and discuss it at the GB meet this Sunday. The Sunday Meet at Bandra! Day, Date & Time: Sunday 11 October 2009, between 6:00 and 6:30 pm Venue: JATC (Just Around The Corner), Near St. Theresa's Church, Dr. K. B. Hedgewar Road, We will meet at JATC and go from there to a friend's house where we can talk more openly.
