EVENT SERIES: UNH LGBTQA Coming Out Week!
October 7 - 11, 2013
National Coming Out Day is internationally
celebrated every October 11th, as a day to "come out"
and increase visibility of people that identify as gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender, queer......, and allies. The first National
Coming Out Day was held on October 11, 1988. This date was chosen
for the annual event in commemoration of the 1987 March on Washington
for Lesbian and Gay Rights. It also marks the anniversary of the
first visit of the AIDS Memorial Quilt to Washington D.C. Many
communities and college campuses sponsor activities such as dances,
film festivals, workshops, literature booths, and rallies on National
Coming Out Day. Join us for the following events and gatherings
as we celebrate National Coming Out Week at UNH!
SPEAKER: Everyone is Gay (Coming Out Week Event)
Wednesday, October 9, 2013
7:00pm, MUB Strafford Room
6,000,000 page views • 60,000 Tumblr followers • 19,000 Facebook fans • Over 1,000,000 YouTube views. Everyone Is Gay began as an advice website for all with an emphasis on LGBTQ youth. Through an integration of humor, honesty, and pictures of kittens on several social media outlets, Kristin and Dannielle found that they were able to support these youth while keeping them laughing. In 2011, Everyone Is Gay began visiting schools and community centers to reach a larger audience and to continue promoting a message of equality. For more information: www.everyoneisgay.com . Brought to you by the MUB, UNH Alliance, Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, SHARPP, and the Bill Kidder Fund.
