I totally agree that one should be true to oneself. Nevertheless, the doubt comes in when one doesn't know what is true, who is this "self". There's a lot of guilt and shame revolving the human's sexuality. Let's hope not for so long.
Thank you for your comment, full of compassion.
And, I am sorry about your cousin. HIV is an unfortunate manifestation of the guilt issue I was mentioning.
