To those who have taken this day to come out as gay, lesbian, bi, or trans, I offer my best wishes that you get to do so at as little cost (in all ways) as possible, my admiration, and my thanks for helping make the world I live in a less stupid one.

To those who think, as I do, that Coming Out Day should include all the forms of sexuality offensive to the reactionary and powerful, I direct your attention to my userinfo if you did not already know that I am part of a happy, long-lasting, committed three-person tuple.

ETA: This was supposed to be tomorrow. Sorry.
