National Coming Out Day Storytelling

Saturday, October 11, 2025 at -

Organized by HRC Columbus

On Saturday, October 11, we will gather to learn how to tell the stories of the LGBTQ community.  Since 1988, National Coming Out Day has marked the power of our stories in the broader narrative of our movement and this year, that power is as important as ever. Our stories have always been the engine of change in this country. Whether it was changing hearts during the AIDS epidemic or building the case for marriage equality, we know that sharing our stories is what we need now to propel our movement forward.

We will help you build the skills to tell your story - whether that's to family, friends, and co-workers or to elected officials who need to hear from us. You will also get to hear stories from other members of the LGBTQ community and have time to mingle and enjoy light refreshments.
