Happy #ComingOutDay!🌈 Today marks the 31st anniversary of National Coming Out Day that was started by psychologist Robert Eichberg and activist Jean O’Leary, and supported by the Human Rights Campaign. This day is to celebrate the bravery of coming out, as well as to celebrate and promote visibility of the LGBTQ community. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧
Thank you to all who offer love and support to those who are coming out today, and every day. We recognize that those who are not out yet, should not feel pressured to come out today. Not everyone is in a family, community, or place where they can safely out themselves, and ask that those who support them remember to let them come out in their own time. 🙂
In honor of this day, we are offering a FREE download of the "Coming Out" chapter from Yay! You're Gay! Now What? By Riyadh Khalaf who's coming out story inspired so many others. Download here: https://quartokno.ws/comingout . You can also stop by the shop and pick up a hard-copy of the book, among other LGBTQ books for all ages! 🎉
