National Coming Out Day is an annual celebration that takes place on 11 October, the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. The days honours and celebrates the bravery of LGBTIQ+ people who come out and live openly, recognising that in doing so, many LGBTIQ+ people around the world still face discrimination and threats to their personal safety.
National Coming Out Day is a date for the LGBTIQ+ community here in Queensland to be celebrated for who they are by their friends, family and work colleagues. The day supports recognition, normalisation, pride and inclusion for those in the LGBTIQ+ community.
Wear a rainbow pin to show your support and increase awareness. Queensland Government employees can get involved by hosting morning teas, or contacting the LGBTIQ+ Steering Committee for information on webinars and online resources.
For information on how Queensland Government employees can get involved, subscribe to the Queensland Public Sector LGBTIQ+ and Ally Employee Network.
We support employees. #BeYou
