OCTOBER 11 is COMING OUT DAY! October 5, 2009

Posted by mbranesf in : announcements, events , trackback

October 11 is Coming Out Day. To mark this occasion, we are encouraging members of the Outer Alliance to write and post on their sites some short coming-out stories. These can be personal or fictional, told from your own perspective or through that of a character. Another possibility would be to talk about what it’s like coming out in the speculative fiction community or what kinds of challenges or experiences have resulted from it. Also, it would great for members to link to this site and encourage new people to join the group.

We probably should have been promoting this idea a bit earlier than now, but we managed to come up with the 9/1 Pride Day and its stunning collection of blog posts pretty quickly…so we should be able to do something comparable again. Members who have a post on this day can share the link to it in the Forum (I will add a topic for them) or by way of the Google Group list, and we will gather the links together in a blog post as well, like we did on the Pride Day.
