National Coming Out Day

October 10th, 2022 is National Coming Out Day! It’s important to recognize that the purpose of National Coming Out Day can be acknowledged any day and every day.

We celebrate National Coming Out Day as an opportunity for those who want to come out to get the support they need and highlight the potential challenges associated with it. The reaction of others is, unfortunately, a common challenge that members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community often worry about.  

The reaction the 2SLGBTQ+ community wants is to be embraced with love, support, and understanding. But sometimes it has resulted in people getting kicked out of their homes, excluded from their family, or other hurtful and unsupportive situations.
