I painfully re-read the story searching for parallels to my coming out process. The only thing I could come up with was this - I was entering a new (gay) world where many of the men, at times, seemed to possess 8 arms and some of them wore silly hats.
Look at it this way - there was so much going on in your life that you were probably blissfully unaware of the dreadful Dr. Mayavale issue.
Why not pick some earlier issue you liked and in which there are parallels - surely your coming out did not just happen instantly, it must have been turning over in your mind for a while?
