"National Coming Out Day exist to promote a safe, inclusive and loving world where LGBTQ+ people can live truthfully, openly, and without fear. As the internet has become an integral part of our lives, it often holds a critical role in the coming out process, especially for LGBTQ+ youth who can receive affirming support and grow into themselves in online paces without judgment. It is absolutely critical to practice internet safety and put you or your child’s mental health first, but engaging with welcoming LGBTQ+ online spaces can show us we are worthy of respect and celebration. Coming out is still so powerful – our stories, our identities and our experiences give us collective strength."
-Joni Madison Human Rights Campaign Interim President
