PUPUSAS! Words cannot even begin to describe how much fun we had not only tasting pupusas, but learning and attempting to make our own pupusas with our lovely interns Madison and Miranda with their special guest (and father) Mauricio Dimas. We loved having Mauricio tell us about his long journey from El Salvador to America and how he settled in Texas.

National Coming Out Day 2020.

When did it begin?

National Coming Out was first inspired by the March on Washington for Le***an and Gay Rights on October 11th 1987. This event inspired Rob Eichberg, and Gina O'Leary to propose the idea and leave it or established the first celebration the very next year in 1988. Since then National Coming Out day has been observed on a yearly basis and continuously encourages positivity and pride and coming out to the world.

What does "coming out" mean? Coming out of the closet or coming out is when a person reveals to their peers their sexual orientation/identity. Coming out isn't always a one-time thing nor does it pertain to just coming out as LGBTQ+. Coming out is one of the most difficult actions but likely the most important step in owning your own identity.
