Today is National Coming Out Day. Coming out is something I think a bit about, being as I am not fully "out" to my family, coworkers, etc. Mostly, at this point, I'm not "out" because it doesn't make any difference what my sexuality is as long as I am in a long-term monogamous heterosexual partnership-as I've said before, I'm functionally straight. In my circumstances, the personal and political usefulness of coming out is pretty much nil. So I stay in. Or whatever.
Still, though, just for the sake of claiming and being proud of who I am, here it is:
I am bisexual. What that means to me is that I have the capacity to seek both sexually and emotionally fulfilling relationships from people of any gender.
I encourage you to come out today, if you feel so moved, in whatever way works for you. Though this day does and should belong to the gay and lesbian community, I think it's important for everyone to occasionally state who they are for the record. Even if the record is just your own.
