National Coming Out Day 2014

On October 11, National Coming Out Day, StonewallAGAIN's Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza (ret) was a 4'th year Legacy Project Chicago (LPC) volunteer with their Legacy Walk, the first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Outdoor History museum.

Victor Salvo, founder of LPC put a Gay Rainbow and not a Bisexual flag over Babe Didrikson Zaharias's history plaque as he put Rainbow flags on all LGBT plaques since 2012. However, the plaque, itself, mentions Babe was a pioneer and bisexual. Never the less, Oboza brought a Bisexual flag out of respect.

The event was well attended and has grown in the last four years. At the end, Oboza was asked about his flag that he wore. The student who asked about his flag came out bisexual to Oboza. Oboza then asked if he may give the High school visiting volunteer his Bisexual flag. The student said yes with a smile while wearing Bisexual flag color shoes.
