Happy National Coming Out Day
Posted by Liza under Personal
I forgot! Today is National Coming Out Day.
You probably all know that I think coming out, with the attitude that ‘this is who I am, and it’s really quite ordinary,’ makes more of a difference to empand LGBT civil rights than anything else.
Lucky (and surreal) for me, I’m at a law enf/comm industry conference today. I don’t know anyone here, so I have lots of opportunities to come out today.
What about you?
PS - Straight readers, I’m not sure how you can join the celebration. Come out about having LGBT friends or family? Link to LGBT blogs? Vote? (Or today, talk about voting against hatemonger & fear-spreaders?) Whatever you do, know that we need your help!

I didn’t remember it was NCOD until the day after, Thursday, though I had meant to try to make it to a computer that day to commemorate it. I was just going to put up a blog entry saying something along the lines of I’m coming out as a supporter of gay and lesbian rights! Rock on, my brothers and sisters or something silly like that. Guess I can still backblog it, I guess. Hmmmmmmm.
Oh, Happy Coming Out Day!

You were on the road, away from the computer, S! You get a blogging pass. But happy NCOD to you, too!
