DESCRIPTION:

International Coming Out Day is an LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, and Queer) community initiative to provide a safe day for LGBTQ+ persons to embrace their inner selves. When an LGBTQ+ person goes public with their sexuality, it is referred to as "Coming Out." It's an act that used to be very personal and often difficult; however, public declarations are celebrated in earnest by the LGBTQ+ community, and social media is filled with declarations on this day.

Religious teachings in the Abrahamic faiths are against the lifestyle. Many feel shunned by their friends and family or targeted for declaring they are homosexual, bisexual, or any of the other 50+ iterations earning banners in the past 15 years. Coming Out Day provides instant acceptance, affirmation, and community access, to those outing, regardless of the opinions rendered on their decision.

October 11, 1987, saw the first national march on Washington for lesbian and gay rights. The following year, 1988, October 11 became the official International Coming Out Day.
