National Coming Out Day was first observed in 1988 to commemorate the anniversary of the 1987 Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. In the digital age, this day has become a major social media event where memes serve as a powerful tool for personal empowerment and lighthearted commentary on the coming-out experience. These memes range from wholesome supportive messages to humorous puns about 'leaving the closet' or navigating social dynamics. The template is widely used by the LGBTQ+ community and allies to promote visibility, reduce stigma, and celebrate the courage it takes to live authentically in a diverse world.
