Stripping for National Coming Out Day

October 11th is National Coming Out Day, and a new campaign has been launched to promote it. "Closets Are For Clothes" uses the closet - surprise, surprise - as a metaphor for LGBT individuals forced to hide their sexual orientation. 

The video is sponsored by Heterosexuals for Same-Sex Equality (HSSE) and The People Project; they hope that the video will show "there are enthusiasts, allies and supporters all over the place of various shapes and sizes.

"We also wanted to show that coming out can be a very liberating and empowering act."

And what is more empowering than stripping?
