#wewillnotbeERASED🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

Today and yesterday my partner and I participated in our local “chalk the walk” event to celebrate National Coming Out Day.

I didn’t really go in with a plan, but I really love how everything turned out! I especially love the rainbow hearts my partner did in Bloomsburg today!

Would you attend an event like this? #lgbtq #nationalcomingoutday #AskLemon8 #lemon8creator #art Berwick Brewski's Bar & Grill

2025/10/11 Edited to

National Coming Out Day, celebrated annually on October 11, is a key moment for individuals across the globe to express their authentic selves and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights. Participating in community events like "chalk the walk" is a joyful and creative way to show solidarity and foster inclusiveness. These events often involve decorating sidewalks with colorful chalk art that symbolizes pride and acceptance, such as rainbow hearts and empowering slogans like "#wewillnotbeERASED." This particular celebration in Bloomsburg, close to Berwick and venues like Brewski's Bar & Grill, exemplifies how local communities come together to support LGBTQ+ members. Whether planned in detail or spontaneously created, these displays enhance visibility and promote kindness. Attending or organizing similar events can be deeply fulfilling—providing opportunities to connect with others who share values of equality and love. For those interested in joining, it's important to know that such activities usually welcome participants of all ages and artistic abilities. Bringing your own designs or collaborating on communal artwork is encouraged. Beyond the artistic aspect, these occasions can include discussions, resource sharing, and moments of reflection about the significance of coming out and the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Engaging in National Coming Out Day events locally helps reinforce the message that the LGBTQ+ community will not be silenced or erased. It fosters empowerment, educates allies, and creates safe spaces where everyone can celebrate their identity without fear. If you've never attended a chalk art event, consider looking for opportunities nearby or even starting one yourself—because every colorful heart and statement counts toward building a more inclusive world.

So very, very, very beautiful. You are so very talented

This is so cool and I love your artwork. I wish my area had an event like this. As a mom, I’d love to take my daughter to this to show her how important events like this are to everyone

I Am Not Just a Number

I am the stillness in the center of the storm — the one who refuses to be defined by a system’s label. While the world rushes by in a blur of suits and schedules, I remain. Grounded. Awake. The light that breaks through does not erase the mark. It transforms it. From property to person.
