Democrats are coming out of the closet. Coming out is a confusing time for many people. Accepting your democratic feelings can bring about a number of fears. Will your family or friends stop loving you? Will you ever get married or have children? Will you be discriminated against or made fun of at work?

Sure, some democratic people experience rejection when they come out, but many also find a accepting support system, leading to a fulfilling democratic lifestyle. Even so, happiness starts from within. And getting to know yourself and your politic values is a key part of the process.

Though being democratic doesn’t define you, it is a new part of your life. You can still be the same person you’ve always been, but take some “me” time to evaluate your transition.

It doesn’t matter if you live in a small town or a large metropolitan city, nothing can be more isolating than first coming out. You can be surrounded by familiar people and still feel you are the only one that is “different.” We’ve all felt these feelings when first coming out and there are millions more just like you that are currently feeling the same. There are many resources, such as Democratic National Committees and local Democratic Offices, where you can find others dealing with similar values.

Many Democratic men don’t fit into existing stereotypes associated with liberal people, but feel the pressure to do so by society or even other liberal people. Rest assured, the liberal community is just as diverse as any other community and each liberal person is an individual.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t always prevent things like name-calling. You may be thinking whoever coined the term “words will never hurt me” obviously was never called a Democrat oe liberal at a party, but you do have an opportunity to take control of the situation.

Every Democrat or liberal man considers how their family and friends will react to the news that they are liberal. Will your family reject you? Will your friends suddenly feel uncomfortable? Will you lose good friends or family members? These are valid questions that we must consider and unfortunately, there is no way to predict how your loved ones will react to your political views. The most important thing to consider is your own health and well being.

Come out to family and friends at a pace that makes YOU comfortable. Coming out is an experienced shared by many liberal, Democrat people. You are not alone and there is help available.

Folks this is tongue in cheek, but it does seem to be true that it’s becoming OK to be Democrat!

Have you noticed the increase in auto decals, yard signs and other advertisements for Democrats?  It’s been unpopular to be a Democrat in this country since ex-President Reagan’s administration.  At the office, at parties, at church, even at the grocery store folks have boasted of their conservative nature and the Republican party.  But, it’s been very unusual for the last couple of decades for anyone to publicly state that they are a Democrat.  The radio and TV commentators have made “liberal” seem like a four letter word.  Some commentators speak with such hatred that it almost sounds as if a “liberal” is close to being a traitor.

There’s been a lot of speculation that the extended political fracas between Obama and Clinton has been to the detriment of the Democratic Party.  I disagree.  I see more Obama and Clinton decals and yard signs than I remember seeing in many years.  The Dems are coming out of hiding!
