Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!!

From Guest Blogger: Nicole A.

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!!

October 11th is National Coming Out Day and amid the recent and tragic string of suicides among gay youth, this Coming Out Day has a somber tone. It is especially important this year for those who are able and safe to be out and proud of who we are. I am a lesbian and I am coming out because I love and am proud of who I am and I’m asking all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Straight Allies, and everyone in between come out in support and celebration of LGBTQ equality.

Visit the Human Rights Campaign at http://www.hrc.org/ncod/ to learn more or join NIU’s LGBT resource center tonight for a Drop-In Session to hear or share your coming out experiences in honor of National Coming Out Day. The celebration will begin at 7 p.m. in Grant Tower A, Room 200 (Counseling and Student Development Center Satellite Office in Grant South)

So come out, come out, wherever you are because after all, closets are for clothes!

Happy National Coming Out Day!
