Happiness?

Just read zbout the death at 99, of Stanley Baxter. An icon of British TV back in the 1960's, 1970's. Whzt struck me was he came out as gay in 2020 and stated that whilst many people were now happy to be gay he never was, and still wasn't, and still didn't want to be gay. How sad is that, and what does it say about a life led in the closet?

I'm not going to say get out of the closet and you'll be happy. I think that people, regardless of their sexuality should think about what's impacting their happiness and look to what they need / can do to make them happier. And yes, for a lot of people being in the closet may be the issue, though just coming out may not automatically make you happier. However, maybe how happy you are and / or what's causing you unhappiness is something we should all consider.
