Tomorrow is National Coming Out Day! Out in Hollywood will have many special posts tomorrow including a list of some of the best coming out films to rent on DVD and an interview with a famous former pro athlete who came out after his playing days were over and lots of other surprises.
If anyone is planning to come out to anyone tomorrow, whether it's your family, a friend or co-workers, GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Meanwhile, here is something Martina Navratilova told me a few weelks ago aqbout the importance of gays and lesbians being out:

"I think it’s important for anybody to be out for obvious reasons. In
encouraging everyone, particularly in the public eye, it would make
it more human. It makes it more difficult to be predjudiced if they
know who we are. It’s your neightbor, your UPS guy, your postal
worker, your waiter. When we put faces to our community and let
people know who you are, it’s much more difficult for them to be
predjudiced."
