October is National Coming Out Month and October 11th is National Coming Out Day. Have you been in the closet for a while and tired of hiding it and trying to act like, and be, more...someone you're not? Coming out is NOT about shouting it out and telling everyone (though it does require you to talk to some people like close friends and/or relatives), but it's more about you being able to accept yourself and not care what others think of you for being yourself. When you get to that point where you can say, "Oh well, if someone wants to hurt me or worse just because of who I am, that's their problem and I'm willing to take that chance, but I AM going to BE ME. To help you with coming out, get the HRC Resources For Coming Out Kit. Also, if you are already "out", as the campaign says, "Talk About It". Help make it easier for others to "come out". Just a reminder, there is a "Coming Out" topic in the Forums on this Channel for you to post your "coming out" stories. Now I want to give a special thanks to HRC Member Services Assistant Dana Campbell for again helping me get this video and thanks to the Director of the HRC Coming Out Project Mark Shields for sending me the video and giving me persmission to upload it here on LiveVideo. less
