Every year on this day, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation sponsors hundreds of gay and lesbian public education events, which thousands of high school and college students participate in.
Isn't it time you join us by coming out to your family and friends? Or, if you've already come out, isn't it time you help others by starting a gay-lesbian student organization? Organizing a gay-lesbian awareness day? Or joining the Human Rights Campaign.
In addition to National Coming Out Day, HRC sponsors the National Coming Out Project, an ongoing project to promote honesty and openness about being lesbian, gay or bisexual on campus, in the workplace and at home. Its public education and outreach programs, such as Coming Out on Campus, open a dialogue with gay and straight Americans and urge gay, lesbian and bisexual people to come out and get involved.
