Well, I just did it. I posted a FaceBook Note that reads as follows:

Alright people...it's time...

My name is Benjamin.

For those of you that knew about it and supported me through it, you have my deepest thanks.

God Bless You All.

And I'm telling anyone that knows. I'm an openly gay man now. And damn the consequences.

Goal Accomplished. I feel pretty good about it.
