About National Coming Out Day
On October 11, 1987, the second National March for Lesbians and Gay Rights took place in Washington D.C., where over 40,000 people marched together in solidarity during the height of AIDS/HIV.
Since then, National Coming Out Day has been observed worldwide to honor this historical event and encourage those who may or may not have openly expressed their pride to their loved ones.
