The 30th Annual National Coming Out Day Is This Friday October 11

This year marks the 30th annual National Coming Out Day, which takes place on Friday, October 11, 2019.

This is the day when people of all ages can come out as LGBTQ to friends, family and coworkers. Coming out is a powerful experience that helps all people who identify as LGBTQ. Coming out brings a face and personal stories to the experience of being LGBTQ and can lead to more support for equality and affirmation.

Potential topics to discuss include:

• How families can best support their LGBTQ child when they come out
• How parents can stay aware and informed about LGBTQ issues
• Understanding of coming out as a lifelong process
• What kids are going through at school as they are coming out?
