Founded on October 11, 1988, commemorating the one year anniversary of the March on Washington for lesbian and gay rights, National Coming Out Day is a way to ‘let people see us, who we are, people they already like, know, and respect – who happen to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.’
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." —Harvey Fierstein
