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.

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. 

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!)

The stamp date on this video of a Florida college student's stripping counter-protest is 2011 but it was finally "discovered" today and is making the blog rounds on its way to viral status. Check it out after the jump!

It's been 20 years since Shaun Sperling performed Madonna's "Vogue" at his bar mitzvah in a video that went viral over summer, but judging from his recreation at a Hamburger Mary's in Chicago over the weekend, he's still got it!

Check out Shaun's much sexier update on his "Gay Bar Mitzvah" video after the jump!

The Republican National Convention is about to unleash a torrent of anti-gay sentiment almost as damaging as the hurricane that skirted its path.

Thankfully, "What A Beautiful Day"—a ballad and cartoon music video that singer-songwriter Brett Every released few weeks back—is cute enough to soothe some of the hurtful and un-American rhetoric that will throw gay relationships under the bus in Tampa this week.

Watch after the jump!
