Today is National Coming Out Day
Oct. 12th, 2009 12:37 amI've been out for many years - over twelve by my reckoning, but today I will restate this. I am bisexual.
All over the place, including here in my own friends list there are people who are struggling with telling the truth to their own friends and families. It's difficult. It's always difficult, and it's always going to be.
So today, spare a thought for those people who're scared that they'll be shunned. Scared that people they know will think less of them. Too nervous to tell those close to them how they actually feel. Those are the sorts of issues that people feel, and I hope that by declaring my support for them they'll know that they're not alone, and at some point they might be ale to make their own declaration.
Today, several people I know made a declaration to friends & family to show that they were not hiding themselves, and they have my support.
You don't have to be 'LGB', as I knew it when I came out. Neither do you have to be T, Q, I nor A. Even if you're straight and happy with it you can stand shoulder to shoulder with us and be an ally and a friend.
Today is coming out day, and I'm coming out.
