National Coming Out Day 2009
October 3, 2009
Every October 11, thousands of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) people and allies celebrate Coming Out Day. They hold workshops, speak-outs, rallies and other kinds of events to support GLBT people who are coming out for the first time and to show the public that GLBT people are everywhere.
National Coming Out Day is an opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and allies to celebrate each other and continue to break down barriers that keep people from being able to fully participate in their communities.
Whether you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or not, be proud of who you are and your support for LGBT equality this National Coming Out Day.
The Pride Collective & Community Center and the Human Rights Campaign’s Coming Out Project hope these guides and videos help you meet the challenges and opportunities that living openly offers to each of us.
