P.S. from Ben Boxer:
Hello Chaps, What, I hear you ask, has this got to do with us? Well, here's the point: these debutantes would make their entrance at very grand parties -- lavish balls to which the whole A list would be invited. These were called "coming out" balls. Now, I've never really thought about where the use of the phrase "coming out" with reference to gays might have come from. I've just taken it for granted. But this programme made me think that perhaps the use of the term in this way may have derived somehow from this traditional social rite. After all, hitting the gay scene for the first time is just such a watershed: and the scene itself is in many ways a similar social niche to which you belong through just the same kind of accident of birth (ie your sexual orientation). Or then again maybe it's all just about closets... Waltz, anyone?

I just uploaded the concluding chapter of
"The Amarna Secret," a story about royal
gay life in ancient Egypt, strictly fiction,
but based on a lot of evidence suggesting
that much of it may be true. The Amarna
Period in Egyptian history is riddled with
mysteries, and many gay historians are
presently taking an approach similar to
mine---except mine is hard-core gay porn, too!
