National
Coming Out Day is a day that celebrates all those who are coming out of the
closet as LGBT people. Founded in 1988
it was started on October 11th to celebrate the 1987 LGBT National
March on Washington.
As many movements due, it started out slowly but then
steadily grew to incorporate all 50th states as well as seven
countries in 1990.
We celebrate this day as a way to tell others of our status
to show them that we are not different from them. We get up, we take care of our kids. We go to work. Just like they do.
Recently I saw a quote that said:
“Gay Pride was not born of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn't a Straight Pride movement, be thankful you don’t need one.” ~Anonymous
As a lesbian, I look forward to the day when we no longer
need a pride movement. A day when we can
all just look at each other and accept who we are without making judgments
based on gender, race or religion.
