National Coming Out Day

Wednesday, October 11

National Coming Out Day, observed annually on October 11, commemorates the courage of LGBTQ+ individuals who choose to embrace their identity and live openly. Its inception traces back to the one-year mark following the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, a deliberate choice to honor this pivotal event. Initially an American awareness day, the significance of National Coming Out Day resonates deeply within LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

Stop by and grab a cupcake and some swag and help celebrate this day with us!
