Hello
friends, my name is Marcello Strati
and I'm a customs officer (lance corporal) in Como, actually at the
mountain pass of Malsianico, in Administration for about 23 years
(enrollment 1986). My greatest passions are travel, reading and
organizing events at home with friends. Convinced of being the only gay
in uniform, I then discovered thanks to the Internet that I'm actually
in good company. From the first timid showing on Yahoo Groups to Polis
Aperta. Thinking just a few years ago that we would have created an
association targeted to gay and lesbian members of Police Force, would
have been just science fiction. In my barracks I've been clear as the
daylight about my sexual orientation from several years and the
decision to "come out" was the most important of my life. It was like I
were reborn. My colleagues know who I am and never, I say never, there
have been problems about myself. The respect that I had gained over the
years has remained intact, indeed I think it's now even stronger. I
started to come out at first with colleagues with whom I had a real
friendship, then I stopped to talk and I've started to behave without
hiding anything of my personality, and that was the best choice: to
convey our homosexuality for what it is, that is something completely
normal and I think in my own small way to have been successful.
The decision about one's own coming out is a very private choice
and should be done only when you feel relaxed about it, otherwise you
just risk to hurt yourself worse. I am proud of what I am: gay
...and customs officer.
