This year’s National Coming Out Day takes on increased importance
after at least eight teenagers have taken their own lives as a result
of anti-gay bullying and harassment, including four in one Minnesota
school district alone. “The more we as LGBT people tell our stories
and engage others, the closer we are to achieving equality,” said
Human Rights Campaign (HRC) President Joe Solmonese. “The recent
tragedies involving young gay Americans, and those perceived to be
gay, increase the urgency for all people of good conscious to Come Out
for Equality. Our youth need to have ‘out’ role models and see the
visible support of non-gay Americans.”
