National Coming Out Day

October 11 is 'National Coming Out Day'.

I'm coming out. I'm asexual :grin:
 
I'm in love with my toaster - MMMM toast! :D

Seriously though, good luck to anyone planning on "coming out of the closet". This is 2011 - there shouldn't even be a damn "closet" - these are modern times. Let's do away with medieval superstitions and let people live how they want as long as they're not hurting anyone.
 
:clap:

Stuff like this is so lovely ^-^

*Takes axe to closet and lets all the people out*

There....no more closet. ;)
 
How wonderful a world it would be if everyday was coming out day, but we have to remember that not every child, teen, or even adult are able to deal with/survive being ostracized.

In honor of the holiday, please spread the word about the "It Gets Better" Project, which provides support for teens in particular that my view suicide as their only solution. http://www.itgetsbetter.org/
 
This is one of my favorite youtube videos I've ever seen, from last year's National Coming Out Day.

That's brilliant and inspiring. :)
 
My roommate for the first semester of freshman year of college came out of the closet on me, literally. I came back from class, sat down for 15 minutes, and then his wardrobe door open and he crawled out, playing Sims. I would have much preferred if it was a metaphorical closet.

Great video, BTW

Agree. Amazing two videos. :hail: :clap:

A friend of the family came out a few months ago. After several weeks went by, I asked him how he felt - he said he was amazed that it was such a non-issue for everyone ...
