Coming Out

[ 11/10/2010; 19:30:00 to 21:30:00. ]

Dear friends,

On October 11 (Monday) at 19.30 we invite you to the ComingOutCinema devoted to the Interantional Coming Out Day!

After two short movies “I am gay” and “Intervention” provided by the LGBT Filmfestival Side by Side we suggest to discuss a key topic for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders: the topic of openness, the topic os “coming out of the closet”.

Should one come out? How does one come out? What will change afterwards? Can one live the whole life “in the closet”?

We look forward to seeing you!
