On Oct. 11, 1987, half a million people joined the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights to call on President Ronald Reagan to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which at the time had killed more than 40,000 people. A year later, on Oct. 11, 1988, Rob Eichberg, a psychologist and gay rights activist, and Jean O'Leary, the head of National Gay Rights Advocates at the time, created National Coming Out Day, according to the Human Rights Campaign. They wanted to "create a holiday that celebrated queer identities in order to decrease stigma and homophobia."Grab a coffee from KAFN across the street and come hang out in the park with us! We can talk about joining, planning, doing, queering, Lil Nas X, RuPaul's Drag Race, Eophoria, Kim Petras, Queer Eye, the annual terror of pumpkin spice, or whatever you'd like.
