I take the view that Coming Out Day is a celebration of those who have come out, and of my own coming out.

Others view it as a cue, an opportunity, to come out. It's a conversation starter; it allows the topic to be raised.

Still others view it as a duty of some description to come out, with some sort of peer pressure compulsion. I do not subscribe to that view.


Since 29 January this year when I published Queer Me! I've come out every time Amazon has placed the book on a page someone looks at. To me it makes sense to make it more accessible. So I've priced it at the lowest Amazon will allow me to, for seven days. They only let me do this on the UK site and on amazon.com. I will do this every year from now on.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
