It is wrong to stay in the closet. The closet only exacerbates the fear, the hatred, and the misconceptions.
Come out of the closet and help us build a better world together. Help us tear down society's dichotomous conceptions of gender and sexuality. Let us start anew. Let us build a Brave New World. A Queer New World. For Each Other. For Us All. For Everyone.
Come out of the closet and let everyone know:
We're Here. We're Queer. Get Used To It Already!
