National Coming Out Day

Play

More than a hundred local queer folks and their allies gathered on the courthouse square yesterday for the local celebration of National Coming Out Day. All across the nation on October 11th people rallied in support of LGBT equality, while others publicly shared their own “coming out” stories, coinciding with a National Equality March in Washington. Here in Bloomington WFHB’s own LGBT talk show bloomingOUT helped organize and host our local event, which included a surprise appearance by Bloomington mayor Mark Kruzan. Kruzan has long been an advocate for queer equality, and was one of only a handful of lawmakers who voted to legalize gay marriage while he represented Bloomington as our state representative in the Indiana General Assembly. But first, we get personal with Danielle McClelland, director of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, who shares her own perspective on grappling with sexual identity in our extended coverage of National Coming Out Day, a WFHB exclusive.
