It’s National Coming Out Day (NCOD) today, an annual LGBTQIA+ awareness day observed on October 11th in select countries across the world.
Each year on National Coming Out Day, the international self-identifying ‘queer community’ celebrate coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or as an ally.
This year, nations will mark the 30th anniversary of National Coming Out Day.
