October 11 is National Coming Out Day and this will be observed with a sign-waving visibility event put together by local queer youth, to take place on the Evergreen Boulevard overpass across Interstate 5, just south and east of The Academy at 400 East Evergreen, Vancouver WA 98660.
Older allies are encouraged to show up in support of queer youth, including the Triple Point youth group associated with Children's Home Society of Washington and Clark College's student group Queer Penguins and Allies. Various other representatives from area high school groups such as gay straight alliances may also be present.
Please dress for the weather and plan to be out for an hour or so. Rory Bowman of the local ACLU shall be at Java House at 4:30 if folks would care for a cup of coffee beforehand. For further information, please contact Spring Dowse at the Children's Home Society of Washington, (360) 693-1325.
