A bitter ex-wife of a newly out gay man has sought revenge on him by posting his coming-out letter on the online auction site Ebay. In her selling-spiel, the woman writes on the site saying: "You are bidding on the original letter given to me by my former husband when he decided to 'come out of the closet' and face me (his wife at the time), and our kids, to let us know of his sexual preference." She goes on to write that: "I do not know what it is worth, yet, to us and to a lot of people who would have been through a similar situation, the sentimental value is just priceless. This is a story of love, but not just any story.....it is the greatest of them all....."
OMG, are you serious woman, one is born gay, if you think it is a preference then you need some advice. I can not imagine how you must feel, but you are lucky to have had someone in your life. I feel for you but I feel for your husband too as he has lived a lie for the best part of half his life.
What gives you the right to then sell the letter on ebay, coming out is not an easy thing to do, some commit suicide, some never come out and live a sad and lonely life.
I remember when I told my family, I was terrified that I would loose them, far from the truth. What do you think readers,
I couldn't agree more. I'm sure the Mrs. is devasted--her whole life is turned upside down, and her sense of security and future are in turmoil. Even so, it amazes me that she can be so bitter and vindictive towards someone she loved. And, really, you didn't have a clue?

How come I find nothing about this anywhere else on line, including eBay? Hoax, maybe?
