Everyone has a story, and the Pride L.A. wants to hear yours.
With National Coming Out Day right around the corner (Thursday, Oct. 11), the Pride L.A. wants to share your coming out stories for our National Coming Out Day Feature!
This year marks the 30th anniversary of National Coming Out Day, taking place on the anniversary of the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. The holiday is observed to celebrate and raise awareness about the LGBTQ+ community and civil rights movement. Though coming out is less risky in recent years, it is still crucial step toward LGBTQ+ equality. It promotes visibility and representation in mainstream media, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
