This work was done as an expression for a National Coming Out Day project.

National Coming Out Day is celebrated every Oct. 11. The day was born out of the 1987 GLBT march on Washington , D.C., where hundreds of thousands of Americans rallied to support equal rights. Today, National Coming Out Day events are held in hundreds of cities across the country and around the world. For more information visit NCOD

I came out on October 11, 1998 just 5 days after the brutal beating of Matthew Shepard, he died on October 12, 1998. This work was done on that day.
