Expert Profile: Adriaan Pretorius

Expertise: Any questions on how to come out, handling people close to you, handling the pressures of being gay in society, going out, seeking a partner, etc. are welcome. I live in South Africa and may have a unique perspective on gay live, as gays do not live openly and have been scorned for a long time here. If you need to speak to someone, and no one wants to listen, I will try my best to be a friend when you have none.

Experience in the area
I am a gay male who have lived the life as someone that had to hide it from everyone for a long time until coming out some years back. I know how it feels to be 'in' and 'out' and have had diverse experiences in relationships. I have had friends who hated gay life, gay bashers, friends who understood me as well has both spectrums in my family too: family that took me for who I am and family that 'disinherited' me.

Education/Credentials
I have a postgraduate degree in Science. I have worked together with homosexual and heterosexuals in my environment.

Thanks for your advice. I never considered that the guy could be jealous of my friend and I's friendship or that he may have ulterior motives with me
