Because as we’ve learned this week, the world can still be a scary and awful place. But we make it better each and every day by coming out and being more visible; and just by that act, reminding those around us that we’re humans. Just like you.
So if you are in a place where you can safely (physically, emotionally, financially, work-relatedly, yeah, I made that “word” up) come out, start with yourself, and work your way outward. You’ll feel better, I promise.
And to celebrate the 25th annual national coming out day, a day dedicated to LGBT visibility, a quick video. And yes, Randy Phillip’s still chokes me up a little bit, because we’re in a world where he had to ask his dad if he would still love him.
All my best,
Mike
