Wow I only saw the theme now and it’s so incredibly timely for me.

I think the whole “coming out” issue is tricky and complex, but potentially very rewarding and healing.

I’m so grateful to you two and all the others that made last year happen. Very excited for this year, time to buy my plane ticket soon I guess!

The Unhide Yourself brings up all kinds of promotional ideas like itunes like buttons people could wear or t-shirts in the main event colour with just the words in block letters UNHIDE YOURSELF in black or white. Similar to the ad campaign a few years ago ‘CHOOSE LIFE”.

I like it.

Simplify it: “The Shame of Silence” ?

Could do a subtitle: “The Shame of Silence: Breaking the Shackles” ? Or something.
