🌈 National Coming Out Day Special Exhibition Now Open 🌈

This year’s special poster exhibition marking National Coming Out Day on October 11 is now open.

Keith Haring was an artist who openly identified as a gay man, which was not very common in the 1980s, when prejudice and discrimination were still widespread. On August, 1988, he contributed this work to the #NationalComingOutDay project, championing the journey of embracing and celebrating one’s LGBTQ+ identity. This work remains recognized as a symbol of this special day 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

I’m glad I’m dierent. I’m proud to be gay. I’m proud to have friends and lovers of every color. I am ashamed of my forefathers. I am not like them.

—Keith Haring, 1987
