Today we celebrate all who are coming out—sharing your truth, living it out loud, or still finding the right moment. Coming out takes courage, honesty, and hope. However your journey unfolds, you are loved and held in community.

#NationalComingOutDay #UnitarianUniversalist #LGBTQ+ #Pride
Graphic celebrating National Coming Out Day. The background is divided diagonally: the top left triangle is bright red, and the bottom right is purple. A large rainbow band extends from the bottom left corner toward the upper right, displaying red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple stripes. In the upper left, bold white text reads “HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY!” On the purple side, white text reads: “To those coming out today, or still finding the right moment—you are brave, loved, and never alone.” Several small rainbow-colored hearts float near the text. The UUA flaming chalice logo with rainbow colors appears at the bottom left corner, with “http://UUA.ORG ” written vertically along the blue stripe.

I recently discovered this great resource for folks to get involved in central Ohio:

justcbus.org
Justice, Unity and Social Transformation (J.U.S.T)
To truly win, we must be committed to be building up the strength of our community; This involves growing local political organizations, including JUST.

✨ Imara Jones delivered a Ware Lecture that laid bare how anti-trans politics fuel authoritarianism—and called us to live our values with courage.

💛 Thank you, Imara, for your truth and brilliance.
