Friday (Oct. 11) is this year’s National Coming Out Day, and artists and musicians including Halsey, Tegan and Sara and more are taking to social media to share their coming out stories and messages of affirmation for those still in the closet.

“Happy #ComingOutDay!” Halsey wrote in heartwarming tweet. “To everyone who has, hasn’t, wants to, can’t, and those of us who feel like we are coming out all the time and will continue to for the rest of our lives (!!!) haha. It’s a living breathing journey and it’s yours to design. love you.”

Tegan and Sara used their platform to point to resources for parents and loved ones of transgender kids, and rising pop talent Jordy shared his coming out story in a powerful Instagram post.

coming out is great, but do it on YOUR terms. #ComingOutDay is meant to encourage discussion, not put pressure on those not ready. take care of yourselves. 🏳️*🌈
