[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We communally celebrate all kinds of life events— birthdays, retirements, engagements, weddings, graduations, even choosing a college. People literally celebrate their child’s gender when it is in utero.

Coming out is another life event that we can recognize communally, and proactively doing so can help counter negative reactions.

If you think coming out is negative, no, you would not want your child at a school that supports it. [/quote]

The thing is that I thought all those reasons for celebrating I thought took place already in LGBTQ+ day. [/quote]

I just explained the distinction- emphasis on community and history vs. individuals.

Of course there will be some overlap. People also celebrate both engagements and weddings. There are religious holidays that have significant overlap.  Armed Forces Day, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day are different facets of celebrating the military that some people felt were important to designate as separate.

Some people feel that coming out is a facet of the LGBTQ journey that is significant enough to recognize separately and in addition to Pride.

You might not feel the same way.
