Organized by Gay activist Dan Kaufman of Arlington, Virginia, this campaign aims to take National Coming Out Day a few steps further, by encouraging straight allies to come out as well. “Too often what passes for political or religious leadership in this country is simply scapegoating,” says Kaufman. “The GLBT community is blamed for all sorts of society ills, and Gay people and our allies are made to feel as though they are outsiders and interlopers. This campaign seeks to reinforce the notion that Gay people--and our allies--really are everywhere, and that the contributions of GLBT people to society are vital.” As many communities around the country get ready to vote on gay-hostile constitutional amendments and other laws that would be hurtful to Gay citizens, Kaufman feels it more important than ever for those who disagree with the hate-filled rhetoric to stand up and be counted. “As African-American Lesbian poet Audre Lorde once said, ‘Your silence will not protect you.’ We’re facing more and more attacks, and our civil rights are being subjected to popular vote. Now is not the time to be timid and wait for our rights to be given to us. Now is the time to stand up and be counted,” says Kaufman. “The American Dream is for all Americans, not just a privileged few.” Visitors to the website are invited to read and contribute coming-out stories that show how talking to others about who they really are makes the experience personal and human. These are stories about how taking a risk can change hearts and lives. There is also a section that gives suggestions on how to create safe space, and leaves room for readers’ contributions to this growing resource. A resources section contains links to local and national affinity organizations. Readers are encouraged to log on to http://www.iamyourneighbor.us and take their next step--or their first--in the coming-out process.
