Happy National Coming Out Day from everyone at the It Gets Better Project!
Whether you are out to the world, just a few people or no one at all, this day is for you. We here at the It Gets Better Project know that not everyone feels safe to come out, and that’s okay! There will be a community of support waiting for you with open arms when that day arrives!
In honor of National Coming Out Day (NCOD), we partnered with Archie Comics to envision #ABetterUniverse! In this world, everyone is met with love and support when they choose to disclose their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
The comic series, #ABetterUniverse, demonstrates 5 different “coming out” scenarios in Riverdale where young people are doing the right thing by fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for LGBTQ+ youth. We hope this series inspires people to create the world or universe they want to live in.
Thank you Archie Comics and Dan Parent (creator of Kevin Keller!) for your dedication to empowering LGBTQ+ youth around the globe!
It’s our vision that in the future all LGBTQ+ people will be free to live equally and know their worthiness and power as individuals. Here’s a glimpse into #ABetterUniverse:
If you’re coming out today, we hope that you’re acknowledged and celebrated like those featured here in the Archie Comic Universe. If you’re not, we are here for you.
