Today is National coming out day which is something I would never had known had I not came out in April, I didn't learn about it publicly from the papers or a bulletin board somewhere I was invited because of my news of transitioning in the local paper. There will be many who will step forward and honor those around them for doing the same.
I also found out that my condition isn't common but there is many who are intersex, how many you ask? Well to be exact 65000 Intersex are born every year, now that was a surprise to me since I was stealth all those years I never thought anyone was born this way because I thought I was a freak of natural. To know these numbers it has made me aware of what I can start preparing for in the future of helping all I can with direction for others, my web site can you that too. I am involved in many things to help and make aware in the Intersex community as well as helping all not just the Intersex.
History Note for National Coming Out Day:
The day was founded by Dr. Robert Eichberg and Jean O'Leary in 1988, in celebration of the Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights one year earlier, in which 500,000 people marched on Washington, DC, United States, for gay and lesbian equality. National Coming Out Day events are aimed at raising awareness of the LGBT community among the general populace in an effort to give a familiar face to the LGBT rights movement.
Multi-national observance:
In the United States, the Human Rights Campaign manages the event under the National Coming Out Project, offering resources to LGBT individuals, couples, parents and children, as well as straight friends and relatives, to promote awareness of LGBT families living honest and open lives. Candace Gingrich became the spokesperson for the day in April 1995.
Despite its name, National Coming Out Day (so called because it originated as an event in the United States) is in fact observed in many countries, including Switzerland, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. As of 2008 The Netherlands also has Coming Out Day on October 11th.
National Coming Out Day is celebrated on October 12th in the United Kingdom.
I want to wish everyone a wonderful weekend and great day.
