‘Talk About It’ on the 18th Annual National Coming Out Day

For the past 18 years, the Human Rights Campaign Coming Out Project has encouraged the GLBT community and straight supportive people to talk openly and honestly about their lives at home, at work and in their communities.

September 2006

The theme for National Coming Out Day, Oct. 11th, 2006, will be "Talk About It." The theme is to encourage gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans, as well as straight allies, to talk openly and honestly about their lives and the issues that GLBT Americans face under law. When you ‘Talk About It’ with the people in your life, you begin to change minds one at a time, and that’s the most lasting kind of change. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation is now offering free Coming Out Action Kits, that include resources on coming out and living openly – including:

HRC’s newly released Coming Out Guide

HRC’s newly released Guide to Living Openly in Your Place of Worship

Coming Out Day posters, balloons and stickers

Order your Coming Out Action Kit! Kits will begin to ship during the middle of September, and will arrive in advance of NCOD – October 11th.

On Oct. 11, thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and allies celebrate National Coming Out Day by holding workshops, speak-outs, rallies and other kinds of events all aimed at showing the public that GLBT people are everywhere.
