Coming Out: Becoming Who We Are 
Presented by: Victoria Moreno (she/her)
Exploring LGBTQ+ History Month, celebrating National Coming Out Day, and reflecting on our experiences of coming out. In recognition of LGBTQ+ History Month in October and National Coming Out Day on October 11th, join us for a conversation where we’ll explore the history of coming out, how it has been represented in pop culture, and the different experiences that shape our own journeys. This will be an open and welcoming conversation about identity, courage, community, and what it means to become more fully who we are.
About our Presenter: 
Victoria Moreno (she/her) is a transgender advocate, Political Science student at California State University, Long Beach, and Board Member of PFLAG Manhattan Beach/South Bay. Since becoming involved with PFLAG in 2019, she has grown from a community member and volunteer into a chapter leader, helping lead advocacy efforts focused on LGBTQ+ visibility, education, and civic engagement throughout the South Bay. Most recently, Victoria spearheaded the chapter’s LGBTQIA+ Community Issues Candidate Questionnaire, a nonpartisan voter education initiative designed to make candidates’ positions on issues affecting the local LGBTQ+ community more accessible to South Bay voters. At the heart of her work is a belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and to know that their voice has a seat at the table.
This meeting welcomes the entire spectrum of LGBTQ+ community, friends, families, and allies for rich conversation and supportive community. These meetings are held both IN PERSON and VIA ZOOM.
Meetings are in-person at the allCove Cafe on the 1st floor of Beach Cities Health District's main building, 514 N. Prospect Ave, RB, CA 90277. Look for PFLAG signage to guide you into the building.
