			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="October 11" src="http://lgbtq.gmu.edu/images/comingout2.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" />Join NM GetEQUAL, elected officials, National &amp; Local Advocates, and others for National Coming Out Day 2011!</p>
<p><strong>When:</strong> Tuesday, October 11th, 2011 @ 7:30PM<br />
<strong>Where:</strong> Morningside Park (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&amp;cid=0,0,17899914559472233675&amp;fb=1&amp;hq=Morningside+Park&amp;hnear=Morningside+Park&amp;gl=us&amp;daddr=Morningside+Park,+Albuquerque,+New+Mexico+87108,+87108,+USA&amp;geocode=14808834878173929224,35.077457,-106.600522&amp;ei=WoMLS-_TA4i2sgPEqvGpAw&amp;ved=0CAwQngIwAA&amp;z=16" target="_blank">map</a>)</p>
<p>We continue to see a rise in bullying in our public school system, youth being terrorized for coming out of &#8220;the closet&#8221; and more awareness being brought to teen suicides. As a community we can not forget this historic day &#8220;National Coming Out Day.&#8221; We are seeing many strides, we are coming together, yet so much more needs to be done.</p>
<p>Even here in Albuquerque and all of New Mexico people are afraid to be who they are. Let&#8217;s once again come together and show the state, that New Mexico has not and will not forget this amazing community!</p>
