NEW: OCTOBER 11TH IS NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY Every year on October 11th, coming out as LGBTQ+ is celebrated! Coming out as LGBTQ+ still matters. When people know someone who is LGBTQ+, they are far more likely to support equality. Here are some ways you can show support on this day:
-
SUPPORT SOMEONE COMING OUT Coming out can be a difficult experience, especially for teenagers. Be an ally by accepting those that choose to share this part of their lives with you. If you're not sure how to show support, check out these tips from PFLAG. If you'd like local support, PFLAG has a Lamorinda branch that offers LGBTQ+ family support and community education and advocacy.
-
DON A PRIDE SYMBOL TO RAISE AWARENESS The symbolic representations of the different groups encompassed in the acronym 'LGBTQ+' can be a very welcome sight to see for some who feel discriminated against or alone. Raise awareness of the movements by donning a pin, or posting your support on a social media platform that you feel comfortable with. The Wellness Center has pride and pronoun pins available, let your students know!
