More than a hundred local queer folks and their allies gathered on the courthouse square in Bloomington, Indiana for the local celebration of National Coming Out Day. All across the nation on October 11 people rallied in support of LGBT equality, while others publicly shared their own “coming out” stories, coinciding with a National Equality March in Washington. bloomingOUT helped organize and host our local event, which included a surprise appearance by Bloomington mayor Mark Kruzan. We’ll get personal with Danielle McClelland, director of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, who shares her own perspective on grappling with sexual identity. We’ll also hear from transgender scientist Kay Johnson and a live set by the Quarryland Men’s Chorus in our extended coverage of National Coming Out Day, a WFHB exclusive.
