\u201c"Coming Out" is about community, support, forgiveness, gratitude, and love.\n\nThank you, internet, for helping me accept myself when others couldn't. \n\n#NationalComingOutDay\u201d— Hannah Hart \ud83c\udf4b (@Hannah Hart \ud83c\udf4b) 1539280720
\u201cI came out 6 years ago today on #NationalComingOutDay because I was too scared to do it on any other day. \n\nIt\u2019s hard to think I was ever afraid to be myself, but for 23 years I was in the closet. \n\nIf you\u2019re not out yet, it\u2019s OK. We\u2019ll be here when you\u2019re ready. \u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\udde1\ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udc9a\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc9c\u201d— Ashly Perez \ud83e\udd19\ud83c\udffd (@Ashly Perez \ud83e\udd19\ud83c\udffd) 1539275858
\u201cHappy #NationalComingOutDay ! Coming out was kinda weird + akward. It took nearly as long as figuring out I was gay. Most people were like, "Cool." Some were like, "Duh." A few were like "NO!" :( Mostly I just felt relieved when it was done. Thru it all I loved being gay!\u201d— Tegan and Sara (@Tegan and Sara) 1539276913
\u201cit\u2019s #NationalComingOutDay. \n\nthis photo of me with my grandparents was 5 years ago, the DAY before I came out to my mom and eventually the world.\n\nMy life has INFINITELY improved because I decided to merge my double lives, and get on a path of healing. \n\nI am a proud gay man.\u201d— tyler glenn (@tyler glenn) 1539283246
\u201cI\u2019m gay. \nReally extra super gay. \nAnd really really fortunate to have never felt anything other than proud and supported to be exactly the me I\u2019m meant to be. Wish everyone could grow up that way. Even straight people! \ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udf89#NationalComingOutDay\u201d— Sally Kohn (@Sally Kohn) 1539274554
\u201cComing out is never easy. It takes courage. Whether you\u2019re living proudly and openly, or just beginning your coming-out journey, remember today that there are millions of Americans supporting you and standing with you. #NationalComingOutDay\u201d— Jared Polis (@Jared Polis) 1539281567
