October 11th marks National Coming Out Day (NCOD), a significant date in the ever-growing LGBTQ+ calendar of awareness events. The day aims to celebrate and draw attention to the experience of coming out which has become a rite of passage for many LGBTQ+ people. Every year on National Coming Out Day, we celebrate coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ+). To celebrate, and raise awareness of National Coming Out Day, Lloyds Banking Groups (Stonewall's 2017 Employer of the Year) award-winning Rainbow Network & Pinsent Masons (ranked second in this years Stonewall Workplace Equality Index) have the pleasure of hosting an evening of short films presented by Jake Graf along with fundraising for Mermaids; one of our charity partners.
