National Coming Out Day

It has been 5 years this past August since I decided to live my life as who I am, rather than who I thought everyone else would accept. It is an amazing feeling, living these past years as me, and it has been even more amazing growing into this, learning more about me, rather that fighting it off, and being ashamed.
I smile today and everyday, because I am able to live my life, and have the people around me love and support my decision to.

~National Coming Out Day is held on October 11th every year to commemorate the first March on Washington by LBGT people. The March took place in October of 1987 and highlighted the lesbigay struggle for acceptance. The first National Coming Out Day was held on October 11, 1988.
The purpose of National Coming Out Day is to promote honesty and openness about being lesbian, gay or bisexual. LAMBDA celebrates this day with activities and resources designed to support coming out. LAMBDA also conducts ongoing projects to help enable our queer brothers and sisters to take their next steps out of the closet.~
