I suppose you could say “I’m taking my partner to Gay Days at Disney World.” They might be annoyed, but would probably get pretty good publicity.
"Now that your team has won the World Series/Super Bowl/Stanley Cup, what are you going to do?
I’m coming out of the closet. "
That would be COOL!
I’m with Daowajan on that one. That would actually get me to watch professional sports.
How about… in front of a Senate Subcommittee on Indecent and UnAmerican Activities. With a male chorus.
My bad. I cheerfully amend my list to include:
-Right before the Rapture
If you’re straight.
In celebration of becoming a naturalized citizen of Afghanistan.
This would be absolutely wonderful. But then I’ve been saying that we really need a black, pagan lesbian for President.
At Marine Corps boot camp.
On a hunting trip with your Father:
“Uh, hey Dad, y’know, you’ll never have to worry about me
getting a girl knocked up…”
No, Ballybay had it right the first time. During the angel episode, Smithers just said “Oh what the hell” and grabbed Burns for a big smooch.
I also like the moment at the “Do What You Feel” festival, where Smithers said, "I…love you…
…in those colors. [to self] Oh, who am I kidding—the boathouse was the time!"
How about when NOT to come out as straight?
When I was a teenager, there was a neighbour kid I used to “experiment” with… Well, he was experimenting I guess, cuz I came out, and he got married and became a cop…
About 10 years later, I get a phone call from him… He wanted to stop by for “coffee”… So this cop car shows up, and the guy comes in - in uniform…
He starts talking about growing up, and next thing you know, Mr. Cop and I end up going at it… And for someone who supposedly hadn’t practiced in years, he did just fine…
When we finish, he says, “Well, that proves it… I’m not Gay”…
HUH???

My weird experience with “coming out”: After years of being behind with the whole email/internet thing, I FINALLY get an email account. Which was a Big Deal for me. So, I triumphantly send off little “I have email!” messages to all my friends (the ones who have been coaxing me to get online for about a year.) I expect happy little “Welcome to the Internet” emails back. But instead, one of my friends decides THIS is the best time to come out. So instead of getting a fun little “Welcome” email, I get a long, drawn-out coming out email. My jaw dropped open.
Sure, I had NO CLUE this girl was gay - and I knew her since she was 4! But after I got over the surprise, it was OK, no big deal. The thing I couldn’t get over that this was NOT AT ALL what I expected as a “first email”! Sheesh!
