What is there to dissect?
The story was based on scuttlebutt and no decent, self-respecting editor would have touched it with a barge pole. It was the sort of salacious, speculative gossip that tabloids run daily for a bogan audience for whom brainless arguments about faux controversies fill the void between rolling out of the sack with a hangover and collapsing paralytic on the couch at night with the Box still flickering. Big Brother is sadly missed by some. Aker is just one of many human headlines that the tabloid media develops and cossets for cheap sensationalist chaff. Unpack chaff and it is still the same.

More tragic coming out storys:
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/1063620/incest-charge-fear-driving-family-lovers-underground "Ninemsn found one forum dedicated to the condition Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) where a 16-year-old NSW teen revealed she and her cousin were having sex just one week after meeting. The pair hadn't seen one another for five years but instantly hit it off, she said. They eventually moved apart again but not before contemplating coming out to their families and having children." "Ms Howse said GSA-affected couples and singles didn't even risk asking a therapist for help because doing so meant exposing themselves. "They live in quite considerable amount of fear that something will sneak out somewhere and ruin their lives or wind up with an incest charge," she said." Homosexual coming out > Incestuous coming out > etc, etc, etc And why not? "It's their human right." "It's perfectly normal." Posted by Proxy, Thursday, 3 June 2010 9:13:55 PM

Dear Proxy,
Could you please explain why you cited the link that you did on incestual relationships for us on this thread, and what it has to do with the topic of the thread? What's the connection? Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 3 June 2010 9:37:37 PM

Foxy,
There are 8 "coming out" references in this thread (excluding my 4 above, which you apparently take exception to). Isn't that what this thread is about? My previous post was about people of different sexual orientation "coming out". Isn't that what this thread is about? My post was about the difficulties and prejudice that these people risk by "coming out". What is your point? Do you have a problem with people of different sexual orietation to those you personally find acceptable, "coming out"? Are you really that narrow-minded that you would deny the validity of the declared love between two people, just because you have problems with their sexual orientation? It's time for you to see beyond your own ignorance and bigotry and accept that these people have the same right to happiness and love as anybody else of any other sexual orientation. I'm really surprised at your lack of inclusiveness and your intolerance of the other. Posted by Proxy, Thursday, 3 June 2010 10:09:44 PM

Dear Proxy,
First of all in one of your earlier posts you mentioned incestuousness and bestiality in regards to homosexuality and then you asked "Why would you be proud?" I tried to answer that question. Now you refer to incestuous relationships again, and even provide a link that deals with them. It appears that there's a pattern developing in your posting. I was merely questioning what the connection was as you saw it with homosexuality, because from your posts one could possibly jump to the wrong conclusion. What you need to keep in mind is that you need to keep your posts within the general topic area of the Forum - which is actually homosexuality. Not incest, or beastiality. My tolerance is not in question here. And again posting inflammatory extraneous off topic messages is considered as baiting users into responding. You have to stop doing that.

First thing I'd point out is that it is in the context of a rumour that someone was going to take money to come out. In which case I can understand why players might want to discuss it.
