4. But there were also naysayers.
Having #NationalComingOutDay is extra unnecessary pressure on folk to have to come out. They should do it when they're ready & comfortable.

What they don't tell you about coming out is that some of the most difficult people to deal with are actually mean gays with big hang-ups.
