From a response by Mr. X

Mr. X and I are in talks. That he actually responded blows me away. All evidence was to the contrary.

...i don't know if "secret double life" is really accurate. it's not all that dramatic. i just happen to be gay and don't feel i need to share that with everybody. i figure it's my business. i've never been a flag-waving, super homo-booster anyway, just not my thing. it doesn't define me. (sorry if email makes that sound blunt - i'm saying it with a smile!) I am quite happy to keep it from my family for now though. i just don't think they would all understand. i have a great relationship with my family, and i don't want to screw that up.

i appreciate your concern and your support, but it seems like this voice problem really is a physical thing, at least that's what my voice therapists are saying. i guess there could be some stress symptoms in there compounding the issue...

Anyway, I pushed for perhaps Chemical Balancing Suppport and concern from his friends. He reponded about not wanting to take more pills for other ailments (no insurance), and I invited him to my annual Loser's Ball.

More as it develops. Perhaps it won't. It's tough to get out and socialized when you can't fucking talk. But Bravo for Mr. X for even responding
