Today is national coming out day, it's a safe day for GLBTQ people of any age. For me I didn't really have a coming out day .Instead I had a coming out process, which was very hard process. I had limited resources to really know how to come out or what gay meant. I remember watching two different TV shows: one being Will & Grace where you had Will an openly gay lawyer living in New York and his group of fabulous friends. and another show was Queer as Folk that was about a group of openly gay friends living in Pittsburgh.
These shows were very important to me because it showed gay in an positive light. This predates the It Gets Better project.
Overall my progress of coming out was a very positive one a lot of love and support from my family and friends.
I believe that the It Gets Better project needs to continue to make a difference for GLBTQ people who don't have support or are still in the closet, they need to have a positive outlet to feel supported and loved for who they are no matter what.
God bless you, Jeff. Press on!

ReplyDeleteYou go Guy! My Dad was gay and it was a whole different world back then! He struggled with it most of his life. I am grateful when I see things happening to help gain acceptance and understanding around the GLBT society. Keep up the great work!
