October 11th is National Coming Out Day. It is a great day for those who are Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgender, or Questioning (LGBTQ) to come out to folks who they think will be supportive to them. However, if you are straight, you should know this day is for you as well!
Straight people can come out as supporters to the cause by telling their straight friends and colleagues that today is National Coming Out Day. They can tell people to support marriage equality, stop saying, "That's so gay," and unpack some of their own heterosexism or internalized homophobia.
