It's a very personal choice to tell people, and I fully understand why some people choose not to. Ever since I came out as gay a decade ago (wow, has it been that long?!), I also came to the realization that I'm not going to hide myself any longer. It's all just a small piece of who I am, including MG (as much as it wants to dominate, sometimes). And my feelings evolved to the point where I realized, if you don't like me for that one small piece of who I am, then I'm better off without you in my life anyways. It certainly helps that I have a supportive job, co-workers and boss on the work front, and a supportive base of friends and family, otherwise. And because of that openness I have towards my life. I couldn't help but jump at the opportunity to do this article and help spread some of that awareness that MG needs so badly. In fact, I shared it across several other groups and venues I'm in, MG, running, and others, and the feedback I've received has been astounding.
