National Coming Out Day, October 11, is approaching. Is there a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) young person in your life? Do you work with LGBT students?
Timely tips for supporting those who are out, or those who may come out to you for the first time this week, are featured in the October 2003 Advocates for Youth web article by Lisa Maurer, "Ten Tips for Parents of a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, or Transgender Child."
The annual observance of National Coming Out Day was conceived of shortly after the second March on Washington for gay and lesbian equality on Oct. 11, 1987.
