In honor of National Coming Out Day, I'm coming out as ABSOLUTELY INTOLERANT of bullying, hatred, bigotry, prejudice, injustice, and inequality! I am a proud straight ally till the day I die!!!

    I love this! My two best friends are gay, and dating... My uncle, who raised me.. Is gay. I pitty the people who can accept one another for who they are. If people just accepted one another, the world would be a much better place.

    Thank you for posting this. I'm also a proud straight allies till death

    Hooray! I am so grateful for the gay friends and family I have in my life, and I am more than happy to defend their rights even if it means giving up my straight privilege in the process.

    Yes... that's a good point. It's one thing to say you support equality, but quite another to refuse the rights that aren't granted to your friends. It's hard to walk the walk but I think it's so important!!

    My little sister has a badge she wears which says it all...

    Straight... but not narrow.

    She says she has no problem with me being gay and loves and worships me for who I am - but my dress sense is what embarrasses her.
    I can't argue with that :0)

    Tell her your dress sense might suck, but your suit sense is perfectly intact :)

    What's a "Straight Priviledge"?
    I see your support, but I was ust wonderig where that coms from...

    Edit: I am so proud of my mother for coming out many many years ago.

    I:heart: this!!! I too am a straight ally!! I have taken many a stand against bullying and inequality, it's even made me a target in some cases, but I didn't care because I don't get such hatred and close-mindness against people who are just people whose choice in love seems different to some.. but not all of us. Love is love.

    "I tend to wear socks that don't match. Not to get attention or because the socks were made that way. Because who am I to judge which pair should or should not be together? Sole mates are sole mates..."

    My favorite ever quote, stolen from a good fb friend!! :heart:

    I think I'm gay... not so sure about my husband. :laugh:


    Have been out so long, I can't remember what the inside of the closet looks like.:smooched:

    i don't remember a day of ever "coming out" i just remember being me. and realizing at one point during my adolescence that i wasn't attracted to just men... still on very good terms with the first lady i ever loved and who loved me back.

    I've always thought there was nothing more idiotic than hating someone for who they love. :heart:

    I came out years ago. I am a lesbian and proud of it. To all of you coming out today as LGBT or ally you're going to need these:

    qoyCthesIAumfvxIlIwvuEJT38G9X6BLgs2lZbKgWDO7tloyyR_ylBoRVfaN7Jp_PYzsx8FLkBaqM7SvrtX2eLYbh1bpqn65rnuq0VboEsQRy6CWRKJezumKksacqsTXMuMZ0IGLGRxE1ONGDf7lorIKnwMXTi7b__BOOrM1IxGfP5K7Va8s0Bm-4U0WXUuPgDjf1w

    It's kind of bright outside the closet. ;)

    *P.S. This may be a day late, but you don't have to wait another year to come out of hiding. ;)
