It’s National Coming Out Day today in the USA. Whoop!

For those who’ve come out, I applaud you. You have my respect.

For those who haven’t, I applaud you. You have my respect.

For those who can’t, I applaud you. You have my respect.

For those who are afraid, I applaud you. You have my respect.

For those who aren’t sure, I applaud you. You have my respect.

For all of you who recognize, embrace and share your unique self, I applaud you. You have my respect.

For all of you who are courageously learning, like me, to be who you are, I applaud you. You have my respect.

(*** This is a serious invitation: Do you need a safe place to come out? A secure place of validation and support? I invite you to join The Lasting Supper, our online community.)
