Rainn Wilson Comes Out (Sorta)

Hello there my gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender sisters and brothers. Rainn here.

In the spirit of my new endeavor, SoulPancake, the book and the website, I want to pose to you all a rather difficult “Life’s Big Question.”

No matter your sexual orientation, we all have to wrestle with big questions in one way or another before we die. Whether we have eternal souls. Whether we have free will. Is there a God? What is love? What is intuition? The list goes on and on.

This LBQ™ (also featured in the new SoulPancake book) is relevant for anyone dealing with personal identity, especially sexual identity, but it’s one that we all must confront in some form or another. I know how painful this question can be for many of my gay and lesbian friends — particularly those who haven’t yet come out — but it’s a difficult one for the straighties as well.

Here goes:

Does your family see the real you?

I’ll start. Then you go.
