HE SAID READER: The holidays are coming and my partner hasn't come out to his family (they live out east). He wants me to come with him but not as his boyfriend. I'm not comfortable with this but he won't budge. What can I do?

TB: What can you do? Let's start with you being true to yourself. Come on, what's the mystery here? You've already answered your own question and I think you know it. Sounds like your friend is light years behind you with his comfort level as it pertains to his own sexuality. How much "Peace On Earth" will there be if you go along with his charade?
