In Aingeljã (English version below):

Si, si, ou paralelisme eh total!!! J'heh eixat doul'armaggo douz voltas ne ma
vita: premjera cõ gei, seconda cõ "conlanger". E jo deu djure qwe interqwe na
premjera volta a rjazõ da genta esé "Oh, eh verità? Qwe surpreza!", na
seconda volta jo sentabe-mi reixalament loc e cõsegé aceuas strannas miratas
qwe tu djues. Alt embraix ne asdouz voltas jo senté-mi lluwerat, completament
feleix de discoprâre qwe jo nõ swi sol. Jo compare a marwallosa sensacjõ de
mal'eixita doul'armaggo cõ gei com ou moment qwe jo discopré da llista de
post de conlang...

Adio.

In English:

Yes, yes, the parallelism is total!!! I've come out twice in my life: first as a
gay, second as a conlanger. And I must say that while in the first one the
reaction of the people was "Oh, really? What a surprise!", in the second one I
was feeling really mad and I got those funny looks you say. However in both
times I felt released, completely happy to find out that I'm not alone. I
compare the wonderful sensation of my gay coming out with the moment that I
discovered this conlang mail list...


Adio.
