I'd like to ascend the soapbox today, and encourage everyone to "come out as an ally to the LGBT community" and do something to promote equal rights for all people. When I first heard this phrase I thought it was pretty stupid, until I was challenged to put it up on my facebook status. And ashamedly, I found it difficult to do, because most of family disagrees with me, and "OMFG!! I ain't no gay!!!!", etc. There are likely events in your local community to support National Coming Out Day. Do something positive with your day and attend.
