The terms “coming out of the
closet”, refers to an individual who has a homosexual orientation, and decides
to inform others. The “closet” is in reference to a secret, because acceptance
of homosexuality is not widespread, which is why most individuals keep their
sexual preference in the “closet”. So if you have decided to come out of the
closet, congratulations! Here are 10 creative ways to let everyone know you are
gay and proud of it!
1) Bake a cake- Organize a get together for your
friends and relatives and bake a cake. Write “I am gay” on it in icing. Make
sure the icing is in a bold, and in a contrasting color.
2) Send out announcement cards- Design special announcement cards
with the message “I am gay and proud of it!” This is quite a unique way of
announcement. Avoid e-cards as most of the times they are considered to be spam
mails by your friends and relatives.
3) Announce it on Facebook- Write a sincere anecdote about how you
found out that you were gay, and post it on your page. Make sure that this
information is only visible to your friends and family. Making this information
public might put your safety at risk.
4) Make a cartoon strip- Create a cartoon strip with you and
another character. Devise a quirky conversation between the two, with you
ultimately stating your sexual preference. This is a great idea especially if
you are a great artist.
5) Write a song and publish
it on YouTube- This is a
great way to be original, and it enables you to send the link to anyone. You
can potentially make big bucks out of this venture. But make sure your song is
original though!
6) The “I am gay” fortune cookie- Invite your near and dear ones over
for dinner. At the end of the meal, hand each guest a fortune cookie. The note
in each cookie could read “X is gay, and wanted to let you know”.
7) Send a tweet- On your twitter page, send out a
tweet to everyone you know. This is a perfect way to send out the message short
and sweet.
8) Chain text message- Create and send a text message to all
your friends, saying “Have you heard the impossible? x is gay!” This way you
will not miss out anybody!
9) Create your own web page- On your page you can post an
announcement about your “coming out”. Also, add information about gay, gay laws
and notions so that people can actually understand it.
10) Have your own “coming out”
party- Invite
fifty of your closest friends, and inform them it is a costume party. Dress up
in a drag queen’s outfit, and answer the door, with the phrase “Welcome to my
coming out Party”. This will create laughs, and definitely generate a
conversation.
“Coming out” is a big step, so
why not make it a memorable one!
