and we had a doctor visit and speak about health issues pertinent to gay men. During his talk, he said "If you are not comfortable telling your doctor that you're gay, you have the wrong doctor." That has always stuck with me and I've considered it with every doctor I've had since then.

Congratulations! The doctor knowing you're gay will help with the care he gives you.
