<p>Andy Towle gives us the 50 most powerful <a href="http://www.towleroad.com/2012/12/2012_gay_coming_out.html#ixzz2FKtEesKu" target="_self">comings-out of the year</a>. I found the above video the most powerful. Then there was Anderson, of course. And Nate Silver:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;I&#39;ve always felt like something of an outsider. I&#39;ve always had  friends, but I&#39;ve always come from an outside point of view. I think  that&#39;s important. If you grow up gay, or in a household that&#39;s agnostic,  when most people are religious, then from the get-go, you are saying  that there are things that the majority of society believes that I don&#39;t  believe.&quot;</p>
