SUMMARY:NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY
DESCRIPTION:NCOD was inaugurated in 1988 by Robert Eichberg and Jean O’Leary. Eichberg\, who died in 1995 of complications from AIDS\, was a psychologist from New Mexico and the founder of the personal growth workshop “The Experience”. O’Leary was an openly lesbian political leader and long-time activist from New York\, and was at the time the head of the National Gay Rights Advocates in Los Angeles.[3] LGBT activists\, including Eichberg and O’Leary\, did not want to respond defensively to anti-LGBT action because they believed it would be predictable. This led them to establish NCOD in order to maintain positivity and celebrate coming out.[1] The date of October 11 was chosen because it is the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.[1] \n\n\n\nMost people think they don’t know anyone gay or lesbian\, and in fact\, everybody does. It is imperative that we come out and let people know who we are and disabuse them of their fears and stereotypes.– Robert Eichberg\, in 1993[3] \n\n\n\nInitially administered from the West Hollywood offices of the National Gay Rights Advocates\, the first NCOD received participation from eighteen states\, garnering national media coverage. In its second year\, NCOD headquarters moved to Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, and participation grew to 21 states. After a media push in 1990 NCOD was observed in all 50 states and seven other countries. Participation continued to grow and in 1990 NCOD merged their efforts with the Human Rights Campaign.[1] \n\n\n\nNational Coming Out Day is observed annually to celebrate coming out and to raise awareness of the LGBT community and civil rights movement. The first decades of observances were marked by private and public people coming out\, often in the media\, to raise awareness and let the mainstream know that everyone knows at least one person who is lesbian or gay.[1] In more recent years\, because coming out as LGBT is now far less risky in most Western countries\, the day is more of a holiday. Participants often wear pride symbols such as pink triangles and rainbow flags. \n\n\n\nNational Coming Out Day is also observed in Ireland\,[4] Switzerland\, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.[5] In the United States\, the Human Rights Campaign sponsors NCOD events under the auspices of their National Coming Out Project\, offering resources to LGBT individuals\, couples\, parents\, and children\, as well as straight friends and relatives\, to promote awareness of LGBT families living honest and open lives. Candace Gingrich became the spokesperson for NCOD in April 1995.[1] From 1999 to 2014 the Human Rights Campaign announced a theme to go with each NCOD:[1]” \n\n\n\nOne of the sources: Wikipedia
