That said, I tend to find the day of silence problematic for me to take part in, because I feel like it's really meant for straight allies. Cause...honestly? I've already been silent for 19 years, why should I do it again on a special day?
As a gesture of solidarity with those young gay folks growing up after you??
Or for those who in their current circumstances cannot afford the potential cost of coming out?

Eh, just a thought. Rhetorical question, rhetorical answer.
