Show your support for LGBT History Month with a “Coming OUT” mug! When you add a hot beverage to this clever Out of the Closet mug, 14 great gay icons will magically emerge from behind the closet doors! Possibly the most “out”rageous and proud cup of coffee or tea, you’ll ever consume.

Images featured when warm include: Willa Cather, Michelangelo, Walt Whitman, James Baldwin, Tchaikovsky, Freddy Mercury, Oscar Widle, Sappho, Alan Turing, Audre Lorde, Andy Warhol, Michel Foucault, Yukio Mishima, and Gertrude Stein.

While you’re at it, pay a visit to LGBTHistoryMonth.com to learn about the achievements of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender Icons. Each day in October celebrates a different LGBT icon, 31 in all, so if this is news to you, get to the site and catch up via the icon video links. BTW, today’s icon is a favorite. . .Ricky Martin! I’m reading his memoir “Me” now, and admire his courage and honesty in the struggles of being a gay man in the public eye.
