October 11 is National Coming Out Day
{http://www.hrc.org/ncop/index.asp}
Every October 11, thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and allies celebrate National Coming Out Day. For many people this day is a reminder of the importance of their decision to live their life proudly; for others an opportunity to take steps toward living more openly.
The Committee for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Issues would like to take this opportunity to inform the Towson community of the campus resources available for individuals that identify as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, their Allies and those questioning their identity.
