October 11 is the annual coming-out day. During this day, attention is paid to the moment when a gay, lesbian or bisexual openly declares his or her sexual preference. Coming out, in other words, coming out.

Martine Koopman of D66 asked the council during the municipal council meeting on September 29 whether it is possible to reinforce this day and raise the rainbow flag on the town hall.

The chairman of the meeting confirmed that the municipality of Rijswijk will cooperate in this. In June of this year, this question was also asked politically in the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp. There was also a positive vote for the raising of the rainbow flag.
