Celebrate Coming Out

Clay Aiken and Lindsay Lohan have finally come out publicly. And, it appears, on their own terms.

Even the New York Times’ Style section got in on the act on Sunday with “Out in Hollywood.” Nice pic, Ellen!

As one commenter noted in response to The Advocate’s article “Clay and Lindsay are Gay — Shock!”: “[O]ne should be allowed to self-identify. No one has the right to make that announcement for anyone else.”

We couldn’t agree more. All those queers still in the closet have a right to be there, just as each of us has a right to come out if and when we want to. We do understand that coming out is a luxury for those not living in tolerant circumstances. Hollywood is tolerant place.

Clay Aiken on the People Magazine cover“Clay felt that it was right to come out to get it off of his back. He felt the need to no longer live a lie. This goes for gay or straight. It does not have to be about being a homosexual,” says our friend Chuck in Louisiana.

“There are many who are not marriage material and are doing things to impress others,” he continued. “There are those who try to impress family members and friends.”

October 11, 2008, is National Coming Out Day here in the U.S.

Our friend Chris told Nan he wanted to wear her Take Her Down production T-shirt on that day! We’ll see if we can dig a clean one up for him.

However you celebrate National Coming Out Day, it’s worth remembering that those who don’t come out, who you just know are gay, probably have a reason for staying the closet.

We salute Hollywood stars and ordinary people alike for their courage in coming out.

Yours in good love and sex,

Nan & Christi
