Today is National Coming Out Day which is a day of raising awareness and destigmatization for the LGBTQ community.
National Coming Out Day, observed on October 11th each year, serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ rights and acceptance. It’s a day when individuals, allies, and communities come together to celebrate the courage and resilience of those who have come out, while also promoting understanding and inclusion for the LGBTQ community.
It's #NationalComingOutDay! Come out as gay. Come out as trans. Come out as supporting equality. We need your voices now.

2. If you think you're ready to come out as LGBT then pick one person you trust and speak to them. It's not a race! #NationalComingOutDay

3. If you don't feel comfortable using a label for your identity then don't. Try explaining how you feel instead. #NationalComingOutDay

You were NEVER created to feel ashamed, unworthy, condemned or defeated. You were created to feel victorious. #NationalComingOutDay
