October is LGBTQIA+ History Month, an observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history, and the history of the gay rights and related civil rights movements. Come visit us and check out our LGBTQIA+ history display, which spotlights historical events and influential figures within the LGBT+ community.
October 11 is National Coming Out Day, an annual celebration of everyone that is "coming out of the closet" and acknowledgement that "it's okay if you're not ready yet."
