Wow - I blew it

I attended the Church in the Closet for seven years. Finally July 1, I came out of the closet and I am very openly gay now - happy beyond description. Unfortunately in the Closet Church everything more than wearing underwear was considered dressed up and today I went very casually to a very refined funeral. Black suits, black little cocktail dresses, pearls. I felt like a fool and to boot had no clue what or who was being buried. In the beginning the celebrant was sooooo slooooow in speech that I thought the voice came out of the coffin or the bunny ran out of battery juice. It got better as the time went on. Fled after Holy Communion. Live and learn.
