I wanted to acknowledge another type of coming out -- when people who are otherwise politically or religiously conservative come out in support of marriage equality and anti-discrimination laws. They do so in the face of an often deeply hostile response from those who would call them a traitor to their political party or faith. I admire their willingness to distance themselves from the homophobia and take a stance that is challenging and difficult for them.

(Now if only they'd distance themselves from a lot of other nonsense...)
