Has your home ever been destroyed by a tornado or "straight-line winds", specifically?
Did you move or rebuild? How long did it take before you were living back in "your" house again? Where did you live in the mean time? Did you ever recover financially? Emotionally?

We still stay at home as it was only the roof

Did you make the decision to come out? Or, did someone else out you?There are a lot of questions from straight people wanting to know if being gay is a choice. Nobody knows the true answer to that, but we do know that we eventually have to come out and say who we are. So, did you decide to come out...
