As schools, colleges and community groups across the country prepare to observe National Coming Out Day on Wednesday two new reports show encouraging signs of LGBT acceptance.

The first report is a national survey that found that seven out of ten heterosexual adults in the United States say that they know someone who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

The online poll, conducted by Harris Interactive in conjunction with Witeck-Combs Communications, was taken from September 7 to 14 and involved 2,932 adults.

Furthermore, 83 percent of those who self-identify as gay or lesbian consider themselves “out”.

If someone you know decides that now is the time to leave the closet, PLEASE be supportive. And let them know they can always talk with you about things.
