Ted Talk by Ash Beckham

[Behind the Aegis]

1. It is really good.

I thought about posting it here myself. It is amazing the closets some build. Some things really aren't that earth-shattering, but others are things that need to be faced. It can be as simple as thinking someone is less than because they live somewhere you hate. The light will expose it. Of course, it can be a heavy burden too. I have never told anyone in my family that I was raped, but I do know it about two of my family members. I have only "come out" here about having death threats leveled against me, so severe I was placed under FBI protection. Coming out is never easy. Sometimes secrets are kept to protect people, but sometimes those secrets really are only protecting the holder.

I am glad you posted it. I hope others comment.
