Have 'come out' at work about going on the anti-war march on Saturday. No particular reaction either way (wasn't really expecting there to be one), but it's odd how it was something I was (at least slightly) tempted to conceal. I'm not even really sure why - it's not like it's a particularly unusual view at the moment (judging by recent opinion polls), and if you believe something, surely it's better to do something, rather than just talking about it.
I wonder whether it ties into the general taboo which there seems to be in mainstream culture of talking about "important" stuff - like religion, morality, etc. It's like we're scared that if we find out someone has totally different beliefs to us we won't like them anymore, or won't be able to work with them or something, so we don't raise the issue.
