On National Coming Out Day (NCOD), Tuesday, Oct. 11, there will be an information fair from 11 a.m to 1 p.m. at Sombrilla Plaza on the 1604 Campus. NCOD is an international event that gives gay, lesbian and bisexual people the opportunity to “come out” to others about their sexuality. It also provides a means of increasing the visibility of gay people. In the United States, the day is facilitated by the Human Rights Campaign’s National Coming Out Project (NCOP). Many communities and college campuses sponsor activities such as dances, film festivals, workshops, literature booths and rallies on NCOD.
