    I already came out as pansexual on Facebook to my relatives who didn't know, including my dad.
    He hasn't seen the post yet, but I'm not too bothered by his reaction.

    I really want to, but I don't want to come out publicly without telling my grandparents on my mom's side (dad's side already knows)--I've been waiting because my grandma is getting over some health issues. I won't get to see them in person until Thanksgiving since they're back home in California.

    I told one friend, that doesn't count for much, but it was something.

    Well, I'm headed to a bar for the NLCS, and I'm wearing my rainbow bracelet. The majority of people (that I know and care about - obviously not every patron might be aware) there already know, so it's a complete non-event other than publicly stating who I am - which is what the day is all about from my perspective.

    Congratulations to everyone who's come out to someone today :slight_smile:

    I'm still debating whether or not I should message two of my friends and come out to them. It seems too impersonal having to do it by text or Facebook chat, though.

    A lot of my friends already know, but I came out to my Mom today.
    I had no idea it was National Coming Out Day.
    It went well, I guess. I did it by text message so she got mad at me for it.
    Ugh.:bang:

    No, I'm not seeing anyone today who I haven't already told.

    The day has come and gone for me.. Perhaps it could be something I aim for next year.

    I was hoping to come out to my parents today, but the time escaped me. I have not been home much today at all.
