Today is Coming Out day in the UK.
Well, I've been fully out for thirty-three years, and some odd months, so I'm not going to be making any sudden revelations! Nor do I think that everyone is in a position where it's possible, sensible or prudent to come out - having homophobic close relatives (especially parents, whatever one's age), or living in places where homosexuality is illegal, seem pretty good reasons for not doing so, to me.
But what I am making a special effort to do today is to have a serious think about how my own actions can help work towards an atmosphere where others find it easier to come out. To make sure that I I try and exemplify acceptance and support of diversity, and encouraging people not to be afraid to be themselves.
