You may have seen a rainbow on the quad this week. It was part of an annual celebration called National Coming Out Week. The colors represent diversity, and they're a call for action. Daisy Saenz has more in this Bobcat Update.

National coming out week is a celebration. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community at Texas State participate. They say the celebration promotes tolerance and helps break stigmas.

This year's theme was Come Out – Vote.
Sponsors hosted several events aimed at ending stereotypes and at gaining more resources.

One such event was the Guess Who's Gay Panel. Both men and women of different sexual orientations were part of the panel, which demonstrated how misleading stereotypes can be. Activists say students benefit from having a voice and fostering tolerance. They say it's empowering when they're able to raise awareness.
