An interesting and often painful result of online chatting is the phenomenon of closeted gays and lesbians, who feel trapped by their marriage to straight spouses, freely exploring their sexuality in cyberspace. Much as "Carl" lost his wife to an online boyfriend, many of the spouses in the Straight Spouse Network (an international support network of heterosexual spouses and partners and gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender mates) share stories at ssnetwk.org of losing husbands to online boyfriends or wives to online girlfriends. It happens more often than many people imagine. KURT A. BODLING Tuckahoe, N.Y.
