Why do it?

You may have already come to terms with your sexuality or you may have recently started to question your sexuality. Either way your feelings could be very strong and thinking about them on your own can often be frustrating. You may get to a point where you feel the need to talk about it in order to gain support or just to get it off your chest.

Coming Out can be difficult – just saying the words out loud could be one of the hardest things you can imagine. If the experience is positive you will feel that a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. If you have a hard time coming out, it’s not the end of the world. There are helplines, youth groups and agencies all over the country that can provide you with excellent support and hopefully give you a more positive outlook on your situation.

Just remember that you don’t need to go through this on your own but at the same time only you will know when the time is right. Don’t ever let anyone force you into coming out - It is a very personal experience and different for everyone.
