National Coming Out Day

Today is National Coming Out Day in the United States.  It's tomorrow in the U.K.  I came out to the world a year ago today, and you wouldn't believe the size of the closet I was in.  For more than a decade, I lived a life of lies and denial that nearly destroyed my life.

Today can be the first day of a new life for you.  Take the first step.  Leave a comment, even if it's anonymous, and say I'm ______________.   You'll be surprised how good it feels to say it out loud.  When I finally came out, it was like coming up for air when I had almost drowned.

Have courage.  Have pride.
