dreamgal Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 "Living in the shadow Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live? In the shadows people see you as happy and free Because that's what you want them to see Living two lives, happy, but not free You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love The world is changing and they say it's time to be free But you live with the fear of just being me Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be No harm for them, no harm for me But life is short, and it's time to be free Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed Smile" By Gloria Carter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators kimi Posted July 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yep. His mum came out as a lesbian. I can't possibly imagine what life would have been like back in the day -having to deal with racism on the one hand and repressing her true nature on the other. At the end of the day, each must do what is best for them with consideration given to their unique circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJade Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Wow the fact she was able to cope with racism and her sexuality all these years shows she's a very strong woman. So happy she has the love and support of her family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
