4 Ways To Congratulate a Homo (or Yourself) for Coming Out
QUEERTY APPROVED — If you haven’t been paying attention, Sunday is National Coming Out Day! But unlike, say, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, or the fourth birthdays of nephews, there aren’t many cards to celebrate the occasion. Until now.
The brilliantly titled PigSpigot has solved the void in the Gays Days Of Meaning with a collection of cards dedicated to coming out. You can send them to friends, loved ones, and your sister’s husband via email or, if you’ve got $3.99, snail mail. Herewith, our favorites.
I like the idea! The art itself needs a little work.
The second card on page 2 is mine! If you like that, you might like the other three I whipped up for the Coming Out Day episode of my blog…

Coming Out Day is very important to me, as you’ll see. I hope this gets around.
