We know we came out of the closet nearly 20 years ago, but we might want to reshoot the whole scene after seeing how a French lesbian chose to throw open that door with such dramatic flair. 

Check out a video of a waitress coming out at work OR a selected scene from an upcoming Baz Luhrman film after the break.

When did you decide to be gay?

It's a question that's lost a lot of steam in recent years but is still, embarrassingly enough, being asked by those whom history's leaving behind.

This video, uploaded in 2008 (an eternity in the Internet time-space continuum) but reaching viral status this week on social networks, turns the tables on heterosexuals to provide an enlightening perspective.

Parents really have seemed to embrace the lost art form of writing letters lately, sparked, at least in our observations, by having children that break the mold. The latest letter to grace the Internet's inbox comes from the concerned parent of a boy who was kicked out of a public restroom because he was confused for a little girl. Make sense?

Exactly. Follow the jump to read what the hero mom of the day has to say to the man who berated her young son.

A Brooklyn man who was called "f*ggot" outside of his home by a stranger decided to fire up his cell phone camera and confront the homophobe. Check out what happens after the break.

Cutie patootie John Bird makes us want to cash in our frequent flier miles and fly to Liverpool this weekend after seeing him tackle stereotypes in his latest video, "How to Identify A Gay Person."

It's not as offensive as it sounds, thanks to the asterisks that John explains should accompany the title. 

Check it out after the break.

We practically have Harlem Whiplash from all the Harlem Shake videos we've been subjected to the past month, bu the latest from the men's gymnastics team at the University of Nebraska is just what the doctor ordered. 

If there's anything we know about Jodie Foster after the Golden Globes, it's that she's fifty!, single and came out 1,000 years ago in the Stone Age. Sounds like the ideal first candidate for Randy Rainbow's new Lesbian Matchmaking Service, doesn't it? Watch a well-heeled Randy run down the initial application with a determined Jodie Foster after the break. 

New year, new unnecessary “Shit People Say” video? You be the judge of Charlie Hides latest spoof vid, after the jump.

We were feverish over more viral videos than ever in 2012. Whether it was Psy's record-breaking Gangname Style or Instinct Leading Man Shane Bitney Crone's tear-jerking "It Could Happen To You," YouTube's replay button saw more action than we did this year. 

But which viral videos were the most sickening in 2012? Instinct's editorial team (Editor in Chief Mike Wood, Senior Editor Jeff Katz, Associate Web Editor Jonathan Higbee and Web Superstar Nigel Campbell) count down the best of the year below! 

A viral video from Australian satirical news team, The Chaser, is making the rounds in the wake of Westboro Baptist Church's announcement that they'll be picketing the funerals of the deceased victims of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting. 

The video, in which The Chaser reporter, Chris Firth, gets more than a little friendly with Fred Phelps, Jr., was shot years ago, but it certainly holds up. Homophobes fleeing in gay panic never gets old. 

Check out the hilarity (and by hilarity, we mean the squeamish kind that we have to watch peering through our fingers), after the jump. (Oh and language may make this NSFW-ish!)

After the picture taken when they received their marriage license last week quickly went viral, the famous "Seattle bears" couple Larry Duncan and Randy Shepard knew the world would be watching when they officially exchanged vows on Sunday—so they spruced up. A lot. 

Check out Larry & Randy on their wedding day after the jump!

Meryl Schenker's photo of Larry Duncan and Randy Shepard, taken as they received their marriage license in Washington yesterday, has had more 12,000 shares on Facebook. It's easy to see why: the unconventional gay couple shatters stereotypes perpetuated by homophobes and anti-gay groups such as the Family Research Council not only in appearance, but in their 11 committed years together. 

When told that his "wedding photo" went viral online, Randy laughed and said, “That’s just who we are."

Congratulations, Larry and Randy!
