...In one episode of the Oprah Winfrey show, there was a man who has been married to his wife for seven years, yet admitted on the show that he was homosexual. He was lying to himself and trying to pretend he was someone that he wasn't, and in not accepting himself for who he was, he spiraled into denial. Almost like the Romans in "The Trojan Horse". They beleived that the gift was exactly what it wasn't, a peace offering. And this man tried to convince himself to believe that he was also the opposite of what he truly was. He tried everything he possibly could to convince himself, and others, that he was straight. He got married to a woman and until the show, he never admitteed that he was actually homosexual. His wife made a statement saying that for the past few months of their relationship, she had an inkling that he wasn't completely telling the truth about his sexuality, but that she never suspected he was completely lying about who he was. I think it's sad when a person can't accept themselves for who they are, because the more they try to convince themselves they're someone else, the more difficult it is to finally face the truth...
