National Coming Out Day

National Coming Out Day

A Coming Out Day at the Center for Equality will be held today as part of National Coming Out Day.This is the 30th anniversary of the first march for lesbian and gay rights on Washington, D.C. Another march is planned in the nation's capital this year. The local Coming Out Day activities will begin at 12:30 p.m. at the Center for Equality, 3600 S. Minnesota Ave., with a worship service led by Pastor Don Reusch of St. Matthew the Martyr Church. Lunch will be served from 1 to 3 p.m. with time to visit. Counselors and those who support gay and lesbian rights also will attend to offer support to those ready to declare their sexual orientation to family and friends. From 3 to 5 p.m., Parents, Family & Friends of Lesbians & Gays will hold its regular meeting, with members sharing personal stories of coming out and family members sharing stories of their experiences. Priceless. Beautiful. Wonderous. Inspiring. I can only hope that all parents can appreciate their child's unique qualities. Wow! Sane and loving parenting. A confident, comfortable, sane young man... Thank you both for sharing your experience with the world.

LGBTI kids!!! What about Q kids! Queer kids, Questioning Kids. What about A kids -- Asexual kids. Allied kids! What about 2S kids? 2-spiritied peoples of the first nation kids! What about SK kids? Straight kinkster kids! What about HGWCTQAAWTGPOMC kids? Heterosexual Girls Who Call Themselves Queer As A Way To Go Poopie On Mommy's Carptet kids?!?! You are so exclusionary and bigoted and need a re-education on inclusion in the LBTQAI2SAQSKHGWCTQAATGGPOMC (and Stu Rasmussen) communities of oppression and misery and victims of gay male power and privilege. That is why they are marching -- to dismantle the gender binary, heteronormativity and the eating of bananas on the subway by non-simian beings. Wow - I so wish my coming out was as sweet as that. He is so lucky to have such a great mom and I am very impressed at how confident & happy he is. I wish it to be this easy for all gay & lesbian youth. Looked great...but I had to stop because I found the (completely unnecessary) background music really distracting. I loved this video clip! I wish everyone had as great a mother as Jack does. Happy coming out day!
