11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Location: On Harvey Deck between the lakes at UT Tyler
NationalComing Out Day will be a really important day for everyone in the LGBTQIA
(affectionately known as alphabet soup, break-down found here) community. For me, NCOD brings back fond
memories of those awkward conversations with my parents and the moment I was
finally ready to be OUT on Facebook. I know. Public announcements are kinda my
thing.

So please, come show some love to anyone
and everyone! There will be festivities, brought to you by the Gay Straight Alliance here at The University of Texas at Tyler.
There will be a photo booth with a ton
of fun props to use. We will have a dry erase board, so you can write messages of affirmation to little coming-out-newbies or tell us why coming out
is important to you.
We have invited Airyka Adonis to join us
as well! She is a fabulous entertainer, so come get your picture taken with
this foxy queen and meet and great new people!

The GSA will also be giving away leis
with positive affirmations attached to them. We want this Friday to be full of
fun, quirky and uplifting vibes. Lastly, THERE WILL BE SKITTLES.

I
know you guys are all just as excited as I am. Coming out is hard, and one
thing that makes it easier is knowing that you have a group of people who love
and accept you, no matter what. That’s why National Coming Out day isn't just
for the Queer population- it’s for everyone who has a heart.
I'M KIDDING, it’s for
those who want to show support. So come visit us !
PS: If you are trying to think of a good way to come out to parents or friends, here are a few genius ideas other people used to announce their queerness. Get creative, and be confident in yourself. You've got this.
