Today marks the first day of national Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month (sometimes Gay Pride Month, or even just Pride, for short), an annual thirty-day celebration of the LGBT community. Every year, millions of people across the world look back on the progress forged by their ancestors—from the Stonewall Riots, which sparked the modern LGBT civil rights movement in 1969, to the same-sex marriages of today—and look forward to the many more milestones that are yet to come. Of course the most visible part of the festivities is the Pride Parade, which takes place in cities the world over and always features loud music, spectacular costumes, and millions of happy LGBT people and allies. All in all, it’s an occasion that’s steeped not only in history, but in good times and—you guessed it—pride.
Just in time for LGBT Pride Month, we’re pleased to present The Real-World Guide to Coming Out—a short e-book by Steven Petrow that details the ins and (ha) outs of coming out of the proverbial closet. Whether you’re unsure of whom to tell first or can hardly wait to declare yourself in a Facebook post, this guide excerpted from Steven Petrow’s Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners (in stores today!) has got it covered. Check it out below or download the e-book for free for a limited time!
Happy Pride!
