National Coming Out Day
Today is National Coming Out Day (NCOD), and I'm not talking about coming outside. NCOD is observed in many countries, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Croatia, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It is a civil awareness day celebrating those in the LGBT community. For those of you who have been living under a rock for that last thirty some years, coming out (of the closet) refers to coming out about one's sexual orientation or gender identity. This is the 24th annual NCOD, the first one was founded in 1988 by Dr Robert Eichberg. The date was chosen to mark the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.
So cheers to all my LGBT friends! Cheers to letting people be, who people gotta be!
