Today, the 25th of May, is Geek Pride Day and we've got lots of great posts on the site today celebrating, and questioning, what it means to be a Geek in 2012.

Jim McQuarrie's The G-Word: Insult or Honor?, So What Does It Mean To Be A Geek by Erik Wrecks, as well as the results of a Geek Pride Survey

And let's not forget that we're also designating Father's Day this year to be National GeekDad Day

An important thread that's common to a lot of these posts is that you can be a Geek about anything. It's your passion for the subject that makes it a geeky activity. However, we don't always share the same passions. The Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate has raged since the beginning of time it seems - and our own Matt Forbeck has even written a book about it.

So, in the spirit of Geek Pride Day we would like to invite you to cleanse your soul, get a few things off your chest, and return to a steady equilibrium by unburdening yourselves of those little secrets you've been keeping from your Geek friends. Maybe you've never seen Star Wars, maybe you think comics are silly, or maybe you have no idea who Wil Wheaton is.

Let us know in this forum on the GeekDad Community site and maybe we can convince you to try something new?
