a hurricane of yuck

October 11, 2007 is the 20th anniversary of National Coming Out Day. I would like to celebrate everyone who has come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered. I would also like to wish those still in the closet the courage and strength to come out in their own time. Being in the closet is one of the hardest experiences anyone could possibly ever have: to deny who one truly is out of fear of persecution.
