http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Coming_Out_Day
The most radical and revolutionary and effective thing you can do!
Don't hem and haw about your brother's "spouse", talk about his husband. Don't lie about your niece's "special friend," or your aunt's "roommate," or your buddy's "sweetheart."
If they are out, you can be, too. Don't hide them! Who cares what Mrs. Grundy thinks? Maybe she needs to know that people who she interacts with every day have gay family members and gay friends and aren't ashamed of them.
Straight people can come out, too!

Thank you Knott and a happy National Coming Out Day to you and Trek too.
I'm so proud of my sister for being out and bi and activist, 15 years into an opposite sex marriage, where it would be so easy for her to just not say anything.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
