I think this "Coming out day" can have a good impact by making repressed teens/young adults be more open about their sexuality. Holding in feelings is never good and it's nice these people recognize that.
I do not think that they should be pushing for political purposes, eg the site advocates abolishing Don't ask Don't tell. It smears conservatives who favor this policy as bigots and lunatics, and quotes Gen. Pace calling gays "immoral."
It'd have been nicer if they were less biased here and recognized that having gay military units (75-80% male) can be a fatal distraction on the battlefield.
The organization, or whoever the hell sponsors this, should focus more on people coming out and less on a leftist agenda.
