National Coming Out Day is coming soon!  This Sunday (October 11th) is the big day.  There’s a great deal going on in the US, including a National Equality March in Washington, DC which begins at noon and ends on the lawn of the Capitol building.  President Obama will be attending the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) annual dinner event on October 10th.  This is a really positive sign for the LGBTQ population, which hasn’t exactly seen President Obama going to bat for queer issues, despite his considerable efforts to win the LGBT vote with promises of real change.  You can read more about the events surrounding National Coming Out Day here.

If you’re a member of Facebook you can get involved with the HRC by adding their “Conversations from the Heart” facebook application, where you can donate your status to update about National Coming Out Day and join in the conversation.  I definitely recommend becoming a fan of the HRC page on Facebook as well, as they post important updates about what’s going on politically and legally for LGBT persons in the US.
