I certainly can understand why he’d want to remain anonymous, and I find it difficult to believe that you wouldn’t sympathize with that desire as well.

Actually, I said I did. Perhaps you missed this last sentence in the 1st paragraph: If this is genuine I understand completely with his reluctance to use his name.

Knowing the person's name allows for verification. Someone knows his true sexual orientation. But honestly I don't really care. I merely made the statement that UNFORTUNATELY we can't really know if this person is genuine or not.

Fair enough. I just think that it’s possible for the editor of the publication to verify, as much as it is possible to do so, the veracity of the author’s claims, and I think it’s probably a greater benefit to all concerned that the author remain anonymous. He certainly has more to lose by being exposed than the public at large has to gain by knowing his identity.
