http://woosterglass.com/static-vs-dynamic-adas-calibration/?relatedposts=1 As LGBT History Month draws to a close, we thought we’d share some personal history here and few things are as personal as our coming out stories. Most important moments in our lives come with a soundtrack so we asked our contributors to share the songs they associate with coming out.
So, sit back and enjoy some classic pics and a little music on this Friday…

I associate Groove Is in the Heart with every gay club I went to in the early 90’s. Good times.
Yep! Loved it. Great trek down memory lane!
OMG, Vikki. That picture of you.
Is it the lip bite? The brown hair? Ha Ha.
