National Coming Out Day 2007, October 11, coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Lesbian & Gay March on Washington and the unfurling of the Names Project AIDS Quilt on the National Mall.
As the AIDS Quilt told the story of a generation, this year for National Coming Out Day, HRC would like to create a patchwork of stories from you.
Watch HRC’s National Coming Out Day video on You Tube. Then, make your own video response about what inspires you about coming out and living openly. Maybe it’s the people in your life that you know personally who have come out. Maybe it’s something that inspired you to make the leap yourself. Whatever it is, HRC wants to hear from you.
Videos do not need to be fancy, just heartfelt and honest. Videos with profane or inappropriate content will not be granted approval.
Once you have shot your video – either on a camcorder, your computer camera, a digital camera, or even your phone, follow these simple steps:
1. Click beneath the video on You Tube on the "post video response" link
2. You will be either asked to set up a You Tube account password, or you will be prompted to set up a You Tube account.
3. Once you have completed those steps, you will receive an email from You Tube with easy to follow instructions for posting your video response.
