What's on your mug?

Coming out to yourself means you realize your sexual orientation is not what you thought. Coming out to others means you share that new information with friends and possibly family. Coming out to the public is done to make lesbian, gay, bisexual and other identities less invisible and to educate people.

Shaun is coming out to herself as bisexual but hasn't told anyone else yet. Elaine decided to included her mother in her coming out process so arranged a lunch meeting to confide that she is a lesbian. Tim wanted to do more for the community so coming out on a national talk show made his gay identity more visible.

A way to explain to your family or friends you’re anything but straight. Don’t do it during thanksgiving though-

Son:“Mom, dad, I’ve planned to tell you this for a while but, Im coming out to you as gay.” Mom: “It’s that damn phone, isn’t it”

A thing gay people do when they “don’t want to make a big deal out of it” but then get offended when everyone else doesn’t “make a big deal about it”, throw them a party, and begin praising them as if they are a God

“Mom, dad, I’m coming out” Good for you, son. “WHAT???? THATS IT??? WHERES THE FUCKING CAKE?? YOU GUYS HATE ME IM GONNA KILL MYSELF”

What your dad will do after you drop out of college

You: "Dad I dropped out." Dad: "I am coming out son. I want to be gay." You: "Damn dad, I was just kidding..."
