| 2009-09-21 | Taylor | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hey Adriaan, I just wanted to thank you for the advice, your story helped assuage some of my fears. Actually, like right after I read your reply, I was walking with my friend and she was like "oh my god you should join GALIA(gay and lesbian association" (Im not sure whether I actually have the guits to actually do so!) but anyway. her friend was like "oh... are you gay?" and I couldn't just lie... so I said yes and she didn't react differently at all. what I am trying to say is that you were right, and probably without your advice, I wouldn't have said anything... so I really appreaceate it. Though I don't think I could come out to my mother anytime soon. I know that this has helped me take a big step. and I really do appreaceate it! Thanks! |

| 2009-07-08 | carolyn | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Adriaan was a wonderful help . I wish i could ask him one more question I just thought of; but i know i spent enough of his time. I only gave him a 9 on knowledgeability as i can sense he hasn't been through as much as a woman my age; but that isn't his fault . I got a lot of support from only a few emails |

Answers by Expert:
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
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.
Education/Credentials
I have a postgraduate degree in Science. I have worked together with and currently work with homosexual and heterosexuals in my environment.
