The Lawrence Pride Alliance will host its first annual “National Coming Out Day Celebration” on Tuesday, October 11, 2022. The event will be at La Taqueria, 1143 Lawrenceville Road, Lawrence Township, NJ 08648, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The awareness day is traditionally held on October 11 and commemorates the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. The day recognizes the life event of “coming out of the closet” and living life openly as members of the LGBTQ community.

This event is for all ages and supports those who have come out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and those who identify with a sexual orientation or gender identity that is not included within the LGBTQIA+ acronym. Please join friends and families for a fun celebration. There is a $10 suggested donation.

“Lawrence Township is such an inclusive and accepting place to live for everyone, and we are excited to gather together as a community,” said event co-organizer Joe Forte.

Nearly one in two Americans knows someone who is gay or lesbian, and one in 10 knows someone who is transgender, according to a statement. Coming out still matters—whether as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or asexual. Sharing our stories helps raise awareness and change perspectives.
