Today is National Coming Out Day - October 11
National Coming Out Day is an internationally-observed civil awareness day that encourages and supports the coming out discussion and acknowledgement of the journeys of LGBTQI individuals. The first National Coming Out Day was held on October 11, 1988. This date was chosen for the annual event in commemoration of the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.
National Coming Out Day is an observance that increases the visibility of LGBTQI people around the world and encourages those previously silent to make their voices heard. In the United States, the day is facilitated by the Human Rights Campaign's National Coming Out Project (Read more).
