| Title | Letter to National Coming Out Day Supporters |
| Date | 31 October 1988 |
| Description | This letter recaps the impact of the first National Coming Out Day (NCOD) on October 11, 1988. It bears the signatures of Jean O’Leary of National Gay Rights Advocates, a legal organization, and Rob Eichberg, a founder of a personal growth workshop called The Experience. O’Leary and Eichberg created NCOD. National Coming Out Day is still celebrated on October 11, a date chosen to mark the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights. |
