October 11 was National Coming Out Day, and what better way to celebrate it by appreciating the people in the limelight to publicly declare their sexual orientation to the world? Here are five celebrities that came out this year.

BBC America will celebrate National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11 with the U.S. premiere of “Queers,” a day-long festival of eight dramatic monologues exploring the lives of British LGBT people, both past and present.

Time to give notice again, folks.

For Alex G, revealing her sexuality in a video on National Coming Out Day was a long time coming.

National Coming Out Day is an internationally observed day to celebrate people who openly identify as LGBT. For many, coming out is a journey; it is a way to embody gay pride instead of fear and shame. For others it may be just the opposite.

On Wednesday, October 11, join more than 100,000 business leaders, teachers and students, parents and families, faith leaders, elected officials, and other members of the community for the LGBT Network's 16th annual National Coming Out Day (NCOD) Awareness Campaign.

Last week, the National Coming Out Day came and went — too quietly.  

National Coming Out Day is supposed to be a day of celebration and a way to encourage LGBT people to come out of the closet.
