        I have to credit where and how I was raised that when I saw this episode originally air, I thought it was a really funny bit and cool turn in the story. I was young and didn’t appreciate the social impact. That said, I just saw gay people as people, so it didn’t seem special.

        Dear @NPR, wake up. As a gay person, you NEVER stop coming out. Every new job. Every new person you meet. There's always the: I have something to tell you moment, no matter how casually you slide it in. Always wondering how it will affect you.

        Yes, it was interesting and daring in Ellen’s day. She lost her frickin’ show. Now it’s more like “Who and who cares?” Progress I say.

        Anything for notoriety....which gets press, attention, and money.

        You could have just said “I don’t have empathy or understand this issue”...no need to speak in code.

        It's an intensely personal experience and I feel that having a "coming out" day adds undue pressure to people who might simply not be ready to do so.

        That is complete bs. I sincerely doubt those who are not out, but are thinking about it, stare at national coming out day on the calendar with dread. If they do, they don’t have a problem with their sexuality as much as they do with anxiety.

        Seems appropriate that 'national health awareness week' would have this day during the week.
