Did you know that October 11 is National Coming Out Day? It marks the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights (learn more about the history of the day here). Here at the library, we're recognizing the day by kicking off a new display, Out in the Stacks.
October 11 marks the anniversary of the March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in 1987, and every year since then, it has been celebrated as National Coming Out Day, and October more generally as Coming Out Month.

A shout-out to Bentley PRIDE for reminding us of Coming Out Day, and contributing suggestions!
