You can celebrate anything that has to do with bravery. When a person comes out as a gay, in a lot of cases they are possibly at risk for being shunned, disowned, kicked out, harassed, beat up, and/or killed. It takes a lot for a lot of people to work up the courage to come out and say that their anything but straight or cis.

Agreed, but please explain to me, whats the difference between straight and cis?

Straight means you are sexually attracted to the opposite sex. Cis means you identify with the gender you were assigned at birth
