RIP, Closeted Cases. CC is a straight ally from The Netherlands. He would certainly have been in the top 10 nations in the region in terms of longevity and influence. When Gay was refounded in 2009, he was the one who actually created LGBT Equality to be the puppet Founder of the region. He held almost every office in Gay except for Founder/WA Delegate. He certainly would have had the ability and popularity to be F/WAD had he wanted it.

Will's defining feature for many of us is that he is a practicing Christian with a deep, deep knowledge of Christianity, particularly of the reformed tradition. This necessarily made him one of the more conservative members of Gay. He was not 'closeted' in any sense of the word, for he is both straight and outspoken on a large variety of topics, particularly his deepset opposition to recreational drug use.

Not so many people know that Will has had a lifelong issue with severe depression that did not respond well to medication. What worked best for him was intensive exercise, which he practiced regularly, but it only took the edge off of his depression, which was a further reason for him to be depressed.

Back in the day, he was one of the most active members in the region and had a significant role in the roleplaying that was popular years ago. Since that time, however, he has become increasingly less active, now CTEing. I hope and believe there is potential for CC to return to us, but until such time as he does return, I will consider this state to be permanent. It is a sad, sad day for Gay, flags at half mast throughout the region.
