Unique Coming Out

Coming out of the closet as gay can be a challenging process for many people, but one Facebook user took a very clever approach.
Reddit user RyanSmithN posted the above photograph, which he says he uploaded to Facebook to tell friends that he’s gay.
The photograph has since gone viral in the blogosphere since being posted on Reddit.
Looking for other clever ways to come out? Jonathan Russell (who goes by Russ and is affectionately known as “Your Favorite Gay Marine”) and his boyfriend Matt have released a sensational new video that offers 20 other creative ways to tell the world you’re gay.
Among the more inventive: playing charades, leaving clues around the house, using your pets and saying it with food.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

    Isn't a shame though, that we have to "come out"? I think the 20 Creative Ways to come out is pretty cool. Wish we didn't have to resort to this. But of course, with the evangelicals banging on Congress' doors today to beg for a new DOMA (if the SCOTUS overturns the one we have), I guess we need all the exposure we can get.Peace <3Jay
