LGBT News - National Coming Out Day 2017

I posted this as a video this week on National Coming Out Day. I just realized I should share on the podcast also as every day is "Coming Out Day" for someone :) Coming out inspires friends, family, and allies of the LGBT community to stand up for what is right, even in the face of discrimination, bigotry, and violence. And on the most personal level, coming out improves our mental health, self-esteem, success, and happiness. Even if the first step you can take is to come out to yourself, please know millions support your courage to live life authentically. One of the most powerful moments I've experienced writing The Randy Report was when a regular reader reached out to me to come out on National Coming Out Day. I was honored that they trusted me to share the beginning of their journey. Be brave. Be proud. Be you.
