    Today is coming out day??

    I didn't realize this.

    At my college they didn't have anything going on about it today.

    I'm not really doing anything, nor would I.

    I'm not closeted, at the same time I don't feel the need telling those I don't know. If you know me, and truly know me... you'd know. Those that I choose to let into my life know... although there are also others acquaintances.. some know, but there is a reason to it. There is a reason why, it was either brought up in conversation or they made a remark and I remarked back that I'm gay... typically in regards to stereotypes.

    The big time that I actually put it blunt in front of a room was in a psychology class, when I had disagreed with something and stated that I'm gay and why I felt differently. The professor then told me that I was accurate according to what is widely believed by clinicians.

    Coming out is a never ending process. Every time you meet someone new, you have to come out all over again once you get close enough to them. I find this sorta tedious. I don't think most of my boyfriend's friends and family realize or know I'm pansexual (they'd probably have no clue what that means) and none of them know I'm genderqueer. Hell, most of them probably don't even know I was married before. I had the thought to "come out" on Facebook (again; this'll be the billionth time) but I thought better of it. If anyone's curious they'll ask. Of course, I appear straight because I'm currently with a guy and appear to be a woman, so they probably won't.

    I wore my rainbow #LoveWins bracelet today! No one really seemed to notice it though, except for my friend who just stated that the rainbow was off since there were two purples at the end, but she already knows. I wish National Coming Out day fell on a Wednesday, because that's when my GSA is! Oh well.

    I hope everyone else enjoyed their day! :grin:

    I wore my rainbow laces and was really disappointed when no one pointed them out so I could subtly enlighten them.

    I didn't come out to anybody that day.

    I have a friend who found out it's coming out day in algebra, and immediately stood up and announced that he's gay to our class. But, he was already out for a long time, so nobody cared, and one person just got annoyed.
