One topic that seems to always come up and needs help is the one of the same sex loving...help one of your fellow Cairiens out:

Dear S&H,

Okay someone very close to me is gay, although i have accepted him being gay because i have too i dont think his friends and the rest of the family will. But the problem is that most people already have an idea that he might also prefer guys over girls but noone says anything. I don't know what to do, because if he comes out then that will ruin his reputation because back home in cairo people aren't that liberal when it comes to homosexuality. So i don't know what to do? should i convince him to just keep it to himself, i figured it out that he's a homosexual on my own and also because of what some people said. But should i believe what people are saying or not? This issue has been really getting to me and i can't talk to anyone because they won't understand.

As always S&H's view, is to each and his own...what people chose to do on their own time is their own thing and it shouldn't be anyone's business!
