It's National Coming Out Day- so who isn't straight?

Since October 11 has, for reasons unbeknownst to me, been designated National Coming Out Day, I thought it warranted a zippy new thread wherein I could shock you all by saying:

[sub]My name is Andy and… um… I like girls.[/sub]

Anyone else feel like coming out?

<slaps on freedom rings and hoists the rainbow flag>

sniffle My first thread I ever started here at the SDMB was a Happy National Coming Out Day thread last year. And not a single soul posted, IIRC.

Hate to disappoint, but I’m only half a queer. :wink:

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Top or bottom half? 'Cause either way, I don’t really mind…

My name is NWR, uh, Amy, and I’m queer.

Queer like a sixtynine dollar bill.

Hey, i’d like to come out too!

My name is Barry and i like…like boys!

I always forget about this day! Good thing I made it here early.

Oh…and I like to kiss girls.

Despite my experimental past, I’m heterosexual.
Despite my chemical-laden past, I’m clean & sober.
Despite my record, I am thoroughly law-abiding.

But goddammit, I am NOT STRAIGHT!!!

I even hate the word “straight.” Call me a child of the 60’s, which I suppose I am, but that word conjures up all the loathesome narrow-minded, ignorant, repressive, fascist concepts that I despise.

Call me crazy.
Call me a hippie.
Call me at 4 in the morning.

But do NOT call me straight.

Hi, my name is James and who baby do I like boys. Girls too for that matter.

My name is Andy and I am a homo.

If you don’t like it, go find some other thread.

Semi-carnally?

I bend a little yes. A threesome should be just that…a threesome.

Hmmm… how can I turn this into a Flirt Thread[sub]tm[/sub]
Oh did I say that “out” loud?

er…uh count me in with the queers!

Oh! Oh! Me! Me ! Me!

My name’s Sonya. I like girls. ::grin::

And actually I’m pretty sure that I’m going to come Out to my parents this weekend. It’s my college’s Family Weekend–and goddess bless 'em for always schedualing it near Nat. Coming Out Day–so my parents are coming up to see me, and I’ve been wanting to do this for a while…

I’m moderately nervous. I know that my parents won’t freak out over it, and goodness grascious, it can’t be much of a surprise. I’m 22, and I’ve never had a boyfriend, and nobody in my family has ever, ever asked me why I didn’t have a boyfriend, so I’m guessing that they already know and they’re just waiting for me to make some kind of official announcement. And I’ve got rainbow this and pink triangle that, so it’s not even like I’m actively hiding it. I just haven’t said the big lesbian word yet.

All the same. I’ve been kinda butterflied nervous all week. I’m not quite sure how to go about this. Do the queer dopers have any advice for this coming out newbie?

I am a homosexual.
<Runs off to give andygirl a big smooch>

I like boys AND girls.

Though I’m somewhat thinking that I will soon be off the market if all goes as I suspect.

I am happily bisexual.

[judy tenuta impression]

I like boys who wear my clothes
And spank me with a garden hose
I like boys who feed me grapes
And shake their buns like big sex apes!

I like boys in boarding schools
Who drill me with their power tools
I like boys with ruby-red lips,
Buffed-up bodies and child-bearing hips!

Boys! Boys! I like the Boys! Boys! On your knees!
Boys! Boys! I like the Boys! Boys! Do me please!

I really can’t say much to follow matt, but I’ve always been what you might call a “people person.”

I’m Bi-poly but not bi-polar, I have papers that say so!

Another blissfully bisexual checking in.

“I’m only half queer. On my mother’s side, I think.”

Oh what the hell…anyone wanna celebrate by coming out of their shirt?
