In anticipation of National Coming Out Day (NCOD) on Oct. 11, you might be interested in checking out some of the awesome stories collected and curated by Coming Out, a 501c3 non-profit that shares LGBTQ coming out stories. 

Always expanding their reach, they are working on a NCOD social campaign in collaboration with a few different groups:

• LGBTQ Filipino-Americans (Filipino-American History Month takes place the entire month of October):
  • Angela AC Dumlao (queer, non-binary), activist recently featured in NBC Asia America’s A to Z List; EJ Samson (gay male), Assistant Vice President at L’Oréal; Matthew Ortile (gay male), Global Publishing Lead at BuzzFeed, among others
• LGBTQ influencers and artists:
  • James Whiteside (ABT Ballet); Levi Foster (photographer); Alex Berg (journalist)
• NYC Commissioner on Human Rights Malalis’ Office

In previous campaigns, they have worked with familiar LGBTQ faces like Dan Donigan (Milk from Ru Paul’s Drag Race Season 6), Matteo Lane (comedian) and Barrett Pall (model, blogger), Max Emerson (model, actor) and others. Their stories are already live on the site.

 SUBMIT YOUR  personal stories!

They are constantly working to expand the diversity of  their content to be as inclusive as possible. The site is open-source, so anyone is able to submit a written or video story on the Coming Out website.
