"Coming out" posts deleted

Last night I responded to posts in the "Coming out..." thread in the general Chat forum, and now I have found that it, along with a few others, has been deleted. I would just like to be told why.

My own post was not off-topic, nor was it offensive or of a disharmonious tone. I shared my experience and thoughts on the coming out process as a member of the community this thread applies to, and I posed a question of values to my fellow members of the GLBT community which was meant to be stimulating to the discussion and satiating to the curiosity of many other gay people like myself.

At the start of my post, I also responded to previous posts which were off topic and offensive, and if my post needed to be edited to reflect the deletion of those posts, that is understandable. But as of now I feel sincerely offended that even the rest of my entirely valid post was disposed of.
