Now all you have to do, is tell your family and friends that you realize that you're straight, and hope that they will accept the fact that you're a hetero.

Man, this is going to be such a big deal. I'm sick of it already... So much graffiti is going to be done across the walks - I just know it.

Nah -- we need at LEAST a week for people to get informed about this up-coming event so they can organize their own fabulous celebration.

Armistice Day officially received its name in America in 1926 through a Congressional resolution. It became a national holiday 12 years later by similar Congressional action. If the idealistic hope had been realized that World War I was "the War to end all Wars," November 11 might still be called Armistice Day. But only a few years after the holiday was proclaimed, war broke out in Europe.
Realizing that peace was equally preserved by veterans of WW II and Korea, Congress was requested to make this day an occasion to honor those who have served America in all wars. In 1954 President Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day.
A law passed in 1968 changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. It soon became apparent, however, that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans. Therefore, in 1978 Congress returned the observance to its traditional date.

Um . . .
no problems with people willing to celebrate Armistice Day over Coming Out/Being Out Day, but you can create a separate thread for that.

My uni is hosting a free public speaker-type thing, with food and all. We're having a Prof come and talk, and he's written several books on Coming Out. Should be interesting.

Thanks for the 11 October reminder MrFun. 
Since I've already come out, I guess I'll just be little ol' fabulous me.
