A day to celebrate those who have come out
A day to celebrate those who are exploring their identity
A day to celebrate those whispers of our inner hearts
For some it is new and exciting
For some it is big and bold and wild
For some it is quiet
It does not matter if you are newly out
It does not matter if you have been out for ages
It does not matter if you are not out at all
Welcome
Welcome
Welcome
You are part of a wider community
You are part of a wider family
You are part of something greater than yourself
Filled with found identity
Filled with found family
Filled with found connection
And you Belong
And you are Beloved
And you are Loved
Today is National Coming Out Day
A day to celebrate those who have come out
A day to celebrate those who are exploring their identity
A day to celebrate those whispers of our inner hearts
I know that for some we have been out for so long we may forget what it was like to come out that first time, while others are in places and spaces that never will be safe to be open about their identities. The thing about today as National Coming Our Day is no matter if you are coming out to yourself, or coming out to the public in a very public way this day is for you.
If you have access to the internet you can join a virtual event today or listen to a podcast by someone in the wider LGBTQ+ family or watch a YouTube speech or simply explore what identities might fit you in this moment of time. And for those who are not ready to share with others or are not in a safe space to do so know you are still seen and heard and celebrated this day.
Finally if you are in a physical space or mental space which feels isolating or lonely know while you may have to do some searching there are always others like you, no matter if you can see them or not, who want to welcome you with open arms and show you the ropes of this amazing community.
Stay safe both physically and mentally and have a wonderful National Coming Our Day.
