Today, October 11th, is National Coming Out Day, a project spearheaded by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights, advocacy and lobbying group in the United States of America. National Coming Out Day also celebrates the October 11, 1987 LGBT March on Washington.
This year's theme for NCOD is "Talk About It". People are encouraged to talk about their coming out experiences in order to raise awareness and help to educate the public. Today, out of all days, is when LGBT persons should be willing to be open and maybe even somewhat a little more open than usual.
For those who have not yet "come out", HRC offers great and valuable resources on its NCOD website, http://hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Coming_Out.
Below are some local events celebrating NCOD:
- The Wake Forest University Gay-Straight Student Alliance will have an informational booth about NCOD on campus and will have a Coming Out Party at its weekly meeting on Wednesday. For more information visit: http://gssa.wfu.edu
