Brian commented on the article |I tend to agree with Jaime. People who are coming out will still find it necessary, and probably cathartic, to have a live conversation with close friends and family. I think the benefit of Facebook, like many online forums, is that it can provide perspective for people who consider the GLBT "world" a far away land with little or no bearing on their lives (i.e. people living in a social climate that discourages homosexuality or even questions about homosexuality).
