Stoke Newington School is a non-selective, state school, specialising in Arts, Maths, and Science in the London Borough of Hackney.

In the United States, the Human Rights Campaign manages the event under the National Coming Out Project, offering resources to LGBT individuals, couples, parents and children, as well as straight friends and relatives, to promote awareness of LGBT families living honest and open lives. Candace Gingrich became the spokesperson for the day in April 1995.

Despite its name, National Coming Out Day (so called because it originated as an event in the United States) is in fact observed in many countries, including Switzerland, Germany Canada and the United Kingdom. As of 2008 The Netherlands also has Coming Out Day on 10-11 April.

RN 2008/01 - Transgender Inquiry Report

The Human Rights Commission’s (HRC) Transgender Inquiry To Be Who I am: Kia noho au ki tōku anō ao was released on 18 January 2008. The HRC has thanked unions for making submissions to the inquiry. Most submissions highlighted discrimination against trans people – and the most common form of discrimination was within the workplace.  For that reason, one of the suggested actions in the inquiry report (p 101) is to work with unions, employers, trans people and the Department of Labour to provide information about issues for trans people in the workplace.
