National Coming Out Day is meant to promote a safe environment where LGBTQ+ people can feel comfortable sharing their true selves.
Los Angeles is becoming the first major city to recognize Oct. 11 as National Coming Out Day.
The date is also the anniversary of the second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in October 1987.The official designation of the holiday comes as the country faces a record amount of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. The ACLU tracked more than 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills in state legislatures in the 2024 legislative session.
