Today, October 11 is National Coming Out Day and Peccadillo is celebrating the occasion with the online release of Denis Parrot’s new documentary COMING OUT.
In this social media world, more and more young gay, lesbian, bi or trans around the world, have decided to come out via videos on the Internet to their parents or close relatives within the unpredictable online world. These personal stories are brought together in this emotionally raw but uplifting feature. The film invites you to share the most intimate moments between young LGBT+ people and their loved ones.
The film is directed by Denis Parrot and among the coming out stories featured is Danny Noriega aka Adore Delano’s experience with his Mother, which is equally as funny as it is moving.
Peccadillo is inviting people to share their own coming out stories on Twitter.
We're COMING OUT and we want the World to know!
A film by Denis Parrot, Coming Out documents one of the most important moments in an LGBTQ+ teens life.

First observed during the height of the AIDs crisis in 1988, National Coming Out Day began as a protest. Psychologist Richard Eichberg and activist Jean O’Leary created a day to call out the lack of research on the epidemic due to widespread homophobic views. Since then, it has become one of the most critical days for LGBT+ people, striking at a core part of the community.
