National Coming Out Day

Today October 11 is the National Coming Out Day according to Human Right Campaign Foundation. the theme of this year will be “Talk About It”. Coming out and living openly as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or as a straight-supportive person is an act of bravery and authenticity. Whether it’s for the first time ever, or for the first time today, coming out may be most important thing you will do all day. The Human Rights Campaign and Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) also present a first of its kind guide to GLBT Americans written for straight people. The guide walks people through the emotional spectrum that people typically feel after someone comes out to them, outlines myths and facts about GLBT people, and gives easy ways for straight people to learn more and demonstrate their support for GLBT Americans. Download the guide here.
