Coming Out
Coming out refers to an individuals disclosure of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. For some people coming out is very easy, for others it is much more difficult and emotionally draining and may bring with it a lot of other issues. The decision to come out is yours and yours alone, we will support you whether you choose to come out or not. When coming out take your time and tell who you want, when you want, never feel pressured to come out to someone you feel unsafe or unhappy disclosing your sexual orientation and/or gender identity to.
