Opening The Door

Opening The Door

A Chapter by therisa
"

Upon hearing, about the first MLB umpire, to come out, as gay.

"
Been called
A brave person
For my openness.

But
To me
The real brave people.

Are those
Who come out
In a public position
Exposing themselves
For all
To see.

I know
How hard
It can be
Just telling
Family and friends.

Can't imagine
Your own personal struggle

Living in
A fishbowl
Like you do.

Maybe
Times are changing
For the better
One painful step
At a time.

I only manage, to part of the interview, the umpire, this morning, but I support his decision to come out.
