Coming Out Week 2018 to be celebrated Oct. 15–19
Coming Out Week is an annual weeklong series of events that celebrate coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) or as an ally. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the first National Coming Out Day, and the 20th anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepard.
At UMaine, LGBTQ Services and Wilde Stein collaborate with campus partners to recognize Coming Out Week with educational and social events aimed at celebrating the LGBTQ community on campus.
This year, events held Oct. 15–19 will include Drag Queen Bingo, Coming Out Monologues and a performance by award-winning spoken word artist Lacey Roop. Wilde Stein also will be tabling in the Union all week.
The full schedule for the week is online.
