I’m a bit tired of this hey-guys-i-gotta-talk-to-you-about-something thing everyone does. Post ideas here.
Well, let me think. Surely I can think of something.
Okay, it’s almost halloween:
plan a halloween party and invite everyone you know. Dress up as a drag queen coming through a door. hahaha
I hope this doesn’t sound mean or anything, the thought just makes me laugh.
Then when people ask you what you are you can tell them you’re coming out of the closet. 
Whether or not they take you seriously depends on the way you say it, and the details you go into. haha
What do you think??
Once again, I wasn’t trying to be insensitive to anyone’s sexual preferences, or anything.
Well, I hate to be moderately serious, but I really liked the way a classmate of mine in grad school handled it.
We were talking in a workshop for graduate assistants, and she said, “I’m thinking of letting my students know that I’m a lesbian, but I’m not sure how to approach it. Do you all have any advice?”
Got the information out in a way that made it not such a huge deal as “Sit down… we need to talk…”
I’ve been outing myself all over work the past couple of weeks, just because everybody’s asking me why I seem so happy lately. Of course, it’s the new boyfriend, and I have a personal policy against the use of non-gender-specific pronouns in these cases. (The rationale being, if I’m trying that hard to hide, something’s seriously wrong.)
But you’re right, I should be more creative. I was actually thinking of bursting out into a chorus of “I’m Just Wild About Harry” at this morning’s staff meeting, but I also have a personal policy against singing before 10am.
An ex of mine actually celebrated National Coming Out day at one job by baking a batch of cookies, and adorning each one with a pink frosting triangle. Honest and generous, at the same time.
here’s one way:
Ever see Steel Magnolias?
Olympia Dukakis speaking about her nephew;
“Marshall visits his parents one day, says ‘I just got back from the doctor’s, and I have a brain
tumor. I have 6 months to live.’
Naturally, Drew and Belle become hysterical.
Marshall says, ‘Hey folks, I’m just kiddin’. I’m not
dyin’, I’m just gay!’”
Sally Field;
“That was his idea of breaking it gently?”
Dukakis replies;
“Marshall always was VERY dramatic.”
Wasn’t there an earlier thread with this same topic?
(Too lazy to look it up, so sue me. )
You’re probably thinking of “Ways not to come out of the closet.” That was a similar thread focused on how to make a complete and utter ass of yourself.
(/me looks at some of the replies in this one, makes sure I’m in as cynical as possible a mood)
No, wait, maybe it was the same thread.
