I'm Coming Out Drag Show + Charity Auction
We celebrate National Coming Out Day with our I'm Coming Out Drag Show + Charity Auction. National Coming Out Day is On October 11 to raise awareness for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community and champion the idea that homophobia thrives in silence. On this day, many people who identify as LGBTQ+ will “come out” (a term stemming from the phrase “come out of the closet”) to friends or family about their sexuality, which is a massive moment!
