You can help me celebrate by by donating to The @TrevorProject, the world’s largest suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ young people,” Bomer wrote, alongside a video in which he touts all the good works The Trevor Project does on a daily basis.

it's national coming out day! today i'm thinking about how i've had to come out multiple times, including to myself. the straights don't always understand why it can still be hard in 2020 to accept (or even to know!) that you're queer. we get it. we love you. you're not alone. -k

Happy National Coming Out Day! I am lucky to not make much of my own gayness now, since the tunic has dried around the [faggy] bulb or whatever. But I learn something new any time I show up on camera with a limp wrist and then a bunch of curdled men go tachycardique! Hot!!!

Happy National Coming Out Day!
If you’re already out, congratulations!
If you’re going to come out today, good luck! Biggest piece of advice is be patient w/ the people you when u do.

Its National Coming Out Day. The first 3 Neon Trees albums I wrote in the closet but I hid queer messages in songs. “Everybody Talks” was about my ex girlfriend spreading rumors that I was gay (Surprise girl) I came out 6 years ago & it was the BEST move for my health & happiness
