Today was coming out Sunday at the UU, for gays who want to come out. It was a very moving service. There have been a lot of suicides recently of teenage boys who were taunted for being gay. A service was read which had been written by a UU minister who waited until he was 50 to come out. He talked about living in fear of being discovered constantly. A woman who is transgender and now lives as a woman after being a man for years said she always felt like a woman. She stressed that transgender and transsexual are not the same thing. I'm not sure of the differences. The choir sang a wonderful song," Everything Possible." Here are the words.

We've cleared off the table, leftovers saved, washed the dishes and put them away. I've told you a story, tucked you in tight at the end of your knock-a-bout day. As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep, over the midnight sea, I will sing you a song no one sang to me, may it keep you good company.

Oh you can be anybody you want to be, you can love whom ever you will. You can travel any country where your heart leads, and know that I will love you still. You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around, you can choose one special one. And the only measure of your words and your deeds will be the love you leave behind when your done.

There are girls who grow up strong and bold, boys quiet and kind. Some race on a head, some follow behind, some go in their own way and time. Some women love women, some men love men, some raise children, some never do. You can dream all the day never reaching the end of everything possible for you. Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games. but seek out spirits true. If you give your friend the best part of your self, they'll give the same back to you.
