On the 11th of October 2016, LGBT Asylum Support presented rainbow flags to several asylum centers on ‘National Coming Out Day’. By virtue of LGBT Asylum Support, rainbow flags were displayed on behalf of LGBT-refugees for the first time. National Coming Out Day was first initiated on 2009 to enshrine the celebration of sexual orientation and gender identity. In the years following 2016, COA has adopted LGBT Asylum Support’s initiative by displaying the rainbow flag at various asylum centers.
