Coming out to a friend, 1985
1985
“Then a friend from my political circle rang me to tell me that he had got divorced. At the end of the phone call I thought ‘He’s gay’. He was talking about having highlights in his hair and a number of other things. He came around for a chat and I said ‘I think you ought to know that I’m gay but finding it hard to meet other gay men.’ However he didn’t come out to me for another six months”.
