Today is National Coming Out Day! October 11, 2023, is the 35th Anniversary of National Coming Out Day, a day meant to celebrate LGBTQ+ people living their lives openly, support those working to come out of the closet, and always center safety as LGBTQ+ folks make those decisions and plans. It is also an opportunity to reflect on what it means to be openly LGBTQ+ and how our understanding and expectations of coming out have changed over the years. Whether you're out, in the process, or not ready yet, remember you are loved by the LGBTQIA+ community. We'll always be there for you!

Standing up for your values shouldn’t mean that you get gunned down or stabbed. O’Shea Sibley and Lauri Carleton represent the best of America: standing up for what you believe in. There is a small group of extremists that are anti-LGBTQ that have turned up the violence and hate against LGBTQ people and our allies. The vast majority of Americans are allies that support LGBTQ people. All of the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and fear mongering turns into violence and hate against LGBTQ people and makes it dangerous for us to exist. We need to see leadership on the Republican side stop villainizing and politicizing LGBTQ people. Staying silent is perpetuating and promoting violence. Thank you to PBS NewsHour for covering the rise in violence towards the LGBTQ community and our allies.

If you’ve been looking for an #LGBTQ+ community at school, a way to make new friends, or a group of people who are interested in advocacy, starting a GSA is a great place to begin! Swipe for some of our tips on how to start a #GSA at your school. Check out the entire resource at glsen.org/GSA ! . . . Image description in the comments.
