Pledging to “go purple" on Spirit Day is a way for everyone — global and local brands and companies, world leaders, celebrities, neighbors, parents, classmates, and friends — to visibly show solidarity with youth and to take part in the largest, most visible LGBTQ anti-bullying campaign in the world.” – glaad.org

What is National Coming Out Day (NCOD)?
“Coming Out Day was founded in 1988 by Richard Eichberg, a psychologist and Jean O'Leary, a gay rights activist, to raise awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community and its civil rights movement. They chose October 11th to mark the anniversary of the second major National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, which took place 1987. With estimates of half a million people participating, it was nearly five times the size of the first march in 1979.” - American Psychological Association
Coming out STILL MATTERS – whether it is as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer. Our stories can be powerful to each other. Every individual who speaks up changes more hearts and minds, and helps create new advocates for equality.
