Hey there...welcome to the board!
I am not gay, nor have a played a gay man on tv, being a girl kind of gets in the way of that hahah.
There is a nice group on this board that happen to be gay. It doesn't hurt to hook up (I am not referring in a sexual way) with a person that has some idea of what your background is.
My husband was never a witness, but his ex's mother was,and he got to see some of the wierd aspects of the religion. I think that helped him understand my past a little more.
