October 11 is National Coming Out Day. The Human Rights Campaign who, according to their website is the “largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality,” is conducting the nation wide campaign. National Coming Out Day dates back to Oct. 11, 1987, when “half a million people participated in the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.” This event was the second most demonstration in the nation’s capitol, which included the first display of the NAMES Project Quilt, to remember those who had passed away to HIV/AIDS. The H.R.C. Facebook page has asked that people “donate [their] status” in support of the National Coming Out Day. You can donate your status by visiting the following link: http://bit.ly/cUrCyb.
