Got to be honest...I think coming out day is a waste of a day in the UK We have the odd idiot but in general I don't believe many care if you're gay or straight anymore. In my department the majority of people are gay...I'm not and I don't care and have no issue whatsoever. I don't like idiots...you can be straight or gay I don't care but if you're an idiot I won't like you

@Mike197602 This is geared to the younger generation.Who are seeking help in which their familiar does not want to have anything to do with them.By coming out they will feel much better. I think you are getting away from the subject there.

@amadeo I'm not sure I'm getting away from the subject. What I am saying is that being a gay person is generally not so much of a big deal as it used to be. I accept that some families may be not great at dealing with a family member being gay but that's their issue. Having a coming out day, in my opinion, makes being gay a big deal...it isn't and goes further to promoting the gay "community"...there should not, again in my opinion, be a gay community there should be just community. Why highlight the fact you're (not you personally) a gay man??...just be a man and get the laws and respect etc that other men get...it's 2018 gays are mainstream.

@amadeo I think the gay thing may be an issue in some countries but in others, such as the UK, nobody cares.

People are people and I only judge them by how they act. Stupid or smart. I want to stay away from the stupid one.

I am embarrassed to say I did not know there was a National Coming Out Day. If it is appropriate to do so, may I wish you a Happy National Coming Out Day.

@amadeo It seemed like things were moving in the right direction in that regard a couple of years ago, but with the rise of the religious right and the fascist evangelical movement, the nation seems to have taken giant leaps backward.

I think that we should welcome every day of the year as a coming out day for someone who is ready to do so, and offer all of the support that we can to them.
