For National Coming Out Day,
LGBTQ Community Shares Their Stories
By Allison Rapp
Managing Digital Editor
Last Thursday, Oct. 11, the
LGBTQ Resource Center held
a day long event in honor of
National Coming Out Day.
Beginning at 11 am, students and
faculty were invited to spend time
with representatives from other
LGBTQ centers, listen to lectures,
and participate in a workshop
with Honest Accomplice Theatre.
Though there was plenty to do,
the highlight of the day was the
final segment, a “Living History”
dinner, in which both students
and staff were able to discuss their
personal coming out experiences
and talk about their journeys.
