National Coming Out Day
Today is "National Coming Out Day".
While this day is aimed at the queer segment of the population (or the supporters of same), it's really for anybody.
One of the things that many people in this world like to do is attach shame or guilt to our differences. An online friend had to come out of the closet to her family at one point. Not as GLBT, but because her choice of religion was Wicca. A religion that her family thought was evil/wrong.
IMHO, the best way that we can deflate all these people is to share and be open about those things that make each one of us special and unique. Be proud of who we are. Rejoice in our differences! Celebrate our lives!
