National Coming Out Day

[SpringChickens]

Today is National Coming Out Day!

Let's give a round of applause to all our LGBT friends and loved ones, and recognize them for the amazing people they are.

Did you know...

Almost 90% of LGBT youth are harassed in some form at school.

In 29 states, you can be fired for being gay or lesbian, and in 38 states for being transgender.

Only 5 states recognize love, no matter what form it is in.

More than 14,000 LGBT service members have been discharged for their sexual preference, despite Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I love days like this.

I'm not gay or lesbian myself, nor do I really know anyone who is, but it is one of those issues I strongly support.

I'm a BIG supporter of gay rights. Big. Who other people love does not offend me or lessen what I have.

I wish peace to all people - no matter who you love or what god you choose to pray to....none of that matters to me - peace to all!
