Being out is brave

[kimberkit]

A thought, w/r/t to blogs and writers and public figures everywhere: you are amazing. Nobody likes being judged, and yet published writers and movie celebrities put themselves out there, naked in the world, to share with the often-cruel, capricious and sadly stupid public. You can roll your eyes or disagree or speculate or make snarky comments and judgment calls on public figures all you want, but the thing is this: without the dialogue that they open up, how shabby are we? How introspective could we be, without dialogue and insight inspired by others?

A shoutout, to those of us who place ourselves in public: thank you.
