National Coming Out Day...

[countessellis]

 Today is National Coming Out Day.  Today there will be people who will be honest with they're friends and family about their sexual orientation.  This is a hard thing to do.  Some people will take it well, but many will not.  There may be people who will lose friends or have family unwilling to talk to them after today.  But honesty is very important.  Hiding who you are causes many problems.  And you want people around you because they care about you and like/love you for who you are, not people who want to be around you because they think you're someone you're not.
