Share your coming out story
We each have a coming out story to tell. For some, the process was easy; for others, it was painful. Some of us are still on that journey. Whether your story unfolded in a busy city or quiet township, whether it brought tears of joy or sadness, your experience matters.
By sharing your story, you could help someone else find their courage or know they’re not alone.
Your story. Your words. Your truth.
