Entries from National Coming Out Day

    On this National Coming Out Day, I'm . . . coming out.

    Oh, you General Gayety readers know perfectly well I'm a lesbian. Coming out to you on that score would be redundant.

    I'm copping to being a person with mental illness. And I decided to tell the entire planet. I've just released a humorous memoir called "Fun With Fred:  Life With OCD and Hoarding." It's available, of course, on Amazon. If you like what you read here, you might well get a kick out of the book.

    This is it for my confessions. I promise that on Oct. 11 of next year, I won't have a blessed word to say.

    Loaded Day

    It's Oct. 11, so that means it's National Coming Out Day.

    I'm a lesbian. You're shocked.

    Today also happens to be Columbus Day. President Joe Biden issued the customary presidential proclamation honoring Christopher Columbus, along with Italian Americans, but Biden also issued the first-ever presidential proclamation marking today as Indigenous Peoples' Day.

    It seems to me this is a lot of social and political pressure to put on one day. I hope we can come together as a united nation tomorrow to celebrate that most important of events, National Gumbo Day.
