Column: On National Coming Out Day, out is in

Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of National Coming Out Day. Established in 1988 by Robert Eichberg and Jean O'Leary, National Coming Out Day is a day of celebration and liberation within the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community. It stands as a hallmark of the gay rights movement by increasing the visibility of the queer community, most notably by advocating the acceptance of sexual orientation and gender identity. It is a day when people proclaim a sexual or gender identity, or 'come out,' to family, friends, and most importantly themselves.
