The Pink Panther
Maxonex gave me this gift a couple of days ago. It wasn’t my birthday, but this was very much appreciated. It’s the pink representation of a CGI cat – the Pink Panther.
And I said to myself, what other day to use it as my blog avatar than today, the National Coming Out Day. For those of you who are not aware, the National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is an internationally observed civil awareness day celebrating individuals who publicly identify as a gender or sexual minority. The day is observed annually by members of the LGBT community and its allies on October 11.
Come out, come out, wherever y’all are! 😀

*ignores knock, snoring deeply*
Caution about coming out. The only person I advise to come out @ this time is that person that is ready to bear the emotional and physical heat that might follow.Some parents are the ones that will call the police on their sons.This is even a child,s play in a world were people kill hundreds of “unbelievers” as a duty towards god.
Hahahahahahahaa
*pours you water*
Nw that’s one awesome way to ‘come out’. LoL
Alarming, innit?
*pulls duvel over absalom* *hands pink lipstick to DM*
Lmao. Come out o jare!!
Even Sleeping Beauty didn’t sleep for a thousand years.
After Pinky, I nominate you for the next out-comer.
And by “carried away” you mean?
Lol I pass d nomination bck to u sire lol *runs back into the closet *
We’re right behind you, Pinky. Just make the announcement right now and we will follow suit.
Coming out ko!! Running in ni!!
Hahahaha…still enjoying my sleep…#IgnoresKnock till 2050…
*Opens door*….*Steps one toe*……. Eisshhh, its sooo COLD outside…*shuts the door*
Just a minute! Be coming out soon!
*Swallows some sleeping pills* *Goes into a deep sleep till 2080*
No pinky it’s rather too early to come out, I’ll come out when everyone is seated and staring and then I’ll make an entrance…*giggles*
Hmmm. The ones sleeping I’ll give kisses as soft, magical and tender as Maleficent’s; they’ll all be wide awake. But, the atmosphere isn’t so good though. What’s up with Stanley Igho?
Hmm. The amount of words in my comments these days.. Hmmm.
Let me use this great opportunity to come out. Hi all, I’m Dominic Obama. I’m gay and love cakes. Thank you
Caution is the word.caution brothers.dont get carried away
I would’ve but its raining outside, so lemme wait till weather is favorable
I’ll come out when its not so cold outside -and in the hearts of most Nigerians.
Covers self wif blanket nd sleeps till 3000
” the National Coming Out Day (NCOD) is

Well, obviously I have no business celebrating today since I don’t publicly identify as gay guy yet.
And the international LGBT community should pack well jor. What did they successfully do when Jona slammed us with 14 more years?
Thank you very much, but I’ll come out on my own terms. *goes back to enjoy weekend sleep*
Hian!!!!!!!!! National coming out day kwa! Just like I said on twitter, we are not even legal yet nd u r talking about national coming out day! Dat day wud definitely turn to #NATIONALMASSACREDAY in naija cos we wud b so butchered! Abeggi! I can’t shout *add voice recognition code to my closet doors plus fingerprint lock, resume my avocado nd cucumber facial spa regimen while listening 2 Beyonce’s Flawless!*
I like to say that in Nigeria, the concept if coming out doesn’t exist. what we have here are closets within closets with multiple doors. You start out being locked firmly behind several sets of doors & as you get more comfortable with your sexuality, you come out frok behind one set of doors and emerge into another closet … very few have actually taken the final step, coming out from behind the last set of doors and facing the outside world squarely with the truth about their sexuality … maybe in 50years time someone will do it and everyone will wonder what all the fuss was about anyway …
I wouldn’t b surprised if our great mother of dragons, the almighty Khaleesi decides to b d first to come out in all her blistering glory! Lol! I would definitely b around to cheer her on! Hehehehehe!
