    Guess what time it is! Oh yes, tomorrow (10/11) is National Coming Out Day. Unless you're in the UK, in which I believe it's actually observed on 10/12 instead. Hehe. Anyway, if you know anyone that you've wanted to come out to but either haven't had the opportunity to or the courage to come out to yet, now's your chance! I'm not even sure who I could tell this year. I'm running out of people close to me to tell. But that's not a bad thing. I'm sure I'll think of someone :lol: So, if you think you're ready, go for it!
    Good luck and much love.

    (!) And don't forget to post your stories if you have a coming out! (!)

    I'm in the UK and i was always under the impression that it was the 11th. I'm considering coming out to maybe 1 person. My friend thinks I should just clear the air with the entire year, but nahhh I'm too much of a wuss. lol

    I only just got on Wikipedia now to find that it was Coming Out Day. Unfortunately, my parents have gone to bed.

    And I think I'm just about ready to... damn.

    Well she replied, and...

    -She asked me if it was a joke
    -But she said if it wasn't, it's interrogation time, and asked me some questions, all the usual ones like 'how did you know' and 'who do you like' and stuff.

    So I replied and am now awaiting her next response. Hmm.
