NCOP- HRC's National Coming Out Project- If your in the closet and tired of it, go here to get inspiration and courage to come on out. October 11th of each year is National Coming Out Day. Feel free to contact me for my full story on how I did it at age 29 (after wasting all that time being closeted). They say that most teenagers that commit suicide do so because of feeling abnormal about being gay and therefore staying "in the closet" with no one to talk too. They feel they have to remain closeted to "fit in" or be what others say is "normal". Once you make that first step and get on the other side of being closeted, 9 times out of 10 you'll feel such a stress relief and find out it's not as big of a deal as you thought. BE WHO YOU ARE! I wish I could go back to high school now!
