It’s National Coming Out Day!
I keep seeing messages from people, mostly well-meaning straight people, saying, “Be yourself!” and that’s great and all.
But this is still a very personal decision and not everyone feels they CAN come out right now.
If you’re around this situation with a friend, family member or lover, I would ask that you please respect their choice, no one needs a new reason to feel pressured.
That said, if today is your coming out day, congratulations and very best wishes!
