Still like the Hello, Kitty card. . .
As I'm fairly certain everyone reading this site knows perfectly well:
National Coming Out Day || National Coming Out Project; Human Rights CampaignThousands of people around the country celebrate National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11 every year with events on the day and throughout the month.
HRC (which I gots some issues with, but am willing to set aside for the day) also has a page on Coming Out as a Straight Ally:
A straight ally is someone who is not gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) but personally advocates for GLBT equal rights and fair treatment. Straight allies are some of the most effective and powerful advocates for the GLBT movement. These allies have proven invaluable personally and politically, and are increasingly important in the fight for GLBT equality. Indeed, their voices often have been heard while those of GLBT people have been ignored.
Which reminds me that I haven't linked Abigail Garner's Families Like Mine site recently. So I am now.
Title a reference to last year's post on this.
And that's it. I'm going to try going back to bed.

I have an issue or two of my own with HRC so perhaps we should all compare notes.

Just stopped by to see what's new up in your house. The new furniture looks nice. Keep up the good work, homie!!!

Maybe it'd be easier to find out if there's anyone who doesn't have issues with HRC. . .
You kids go first. Your concerns are bound to be more valid than mine.
James, thanks. The new furniture is from Michelle, so she gets the praise for that.
I just type stuff.

Issues with HRC? You bet, I have plenty. Glad I am not alone.
BTW, Aaron, you rock.
