4. What's the best thing that's ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky? Years ago, back in 1999, I took a free self-defence course for an afternoon. The group holding it was called "The Q-Safety Patrol" that was equalled to "The Guardian Angels" but gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered. I went to Seattle and participated in the Pride Parade, but beforehand, there were protesters shouting and screaming their hatred. I was inches away from the Loudest angriest guy there, but he didn't pay too close attention to myself. I got to march in the parade moments later, waving to everyone.

5. ... and what's the worst? Confiding in someone then being discredited/humiliated/shamed.
