Quorum's 31st Annual National Coming Out Day Luncheon

"...We will not win our rights by staying quietly in our closets..." (Harvey Milk)

Many Journeys, One Minnesota

ABOUT THE LUNCHEON:

The journey to living openly and authentically is rarely a straight path—and never a solitary one. In every city, on every block, in every workplace and family, LGBTQ+ and Allied individuals are navigating brave and beautiful journeys to truth, self-expression, and belonging.

Quorum’s National Coming Out Day Luncheon—the premier NCOD celebration in the country—gathers our community to uplift these stories of resilience, pride, and connection. This transformational event celebrates the power of living with authenticity at work, at home, and in the world. It reminds us that “coming out” is not a one-time moment but a lifelong, deeply personal journey—layered by culture, race, gender identity, ability, faith, and more.

This year’s theme, Many Journeys, One Minnesota, reflects our shared commitment to building a state where everyone can bring their whole selves to everything they do—and be embraced for exactly who they are.

In a time when LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusion face growing challenges across the country, our voices are more important than ever. Whether you're coming out as LGBTQ+, an ally—or on a path of self-discovery—your story has the power to shift hearts, open minds, and spark meaningful change.

We invite you to join us for this powerful celebration of strength, courage, and pride. Together, we honor the many individual journeys that, woven together, create a more inclusive, vibrant, and united Minnesota.
