Amalie Lee’s Coming Out Story
I never had one big coming out moment. Instead, I came out in increments whenever and to whoever it felt safe to do so. I knew I was not straight from a young age, yet it took me some time to be comfortable with it. I think the hardest person for me to come out to was...
Jeremiah Delore’s Coming Out Story
The first people I came out to were my friends. The real ones accepted me and the people that wanted me to change... left. The first parent I then came out to was my mom. At first, I was nervous but deep down I felt comfortable in the thought that my mom who fought so...
Ally Byer’s Coming Out Story
Unlike many queer youth, I was lucky enough to have a pretty “easy” coming out story. Not that coming out is ever easy for anyone, but the reality is that homophobia from family is a fear for a lot of queer people, but it was never for me. My Aunts are gay. I grew up...
Jackie Rae’s Coming Out Story
On September 9th 2018, I announced that I am a transgender woman, taking the name “Jackie” and using she/her/hers pronouns. This was the hardest thing I have ever done. That proclamation might not be the cure to my problems or the most challenging thing that I will...
Dakota Aspen’s Coming Out Story
My name is Dakota, and I was born and raised in Texas, but I’m currently trying to move to Italy to study at university there. I’ve always been a mix of introverted and extroverted, it takes a lot for me to get comfortable with people and open up, but I love exploring...
Shingi Rice’s Coming Out Story
I have an African background, Zimbabwean to be exact. Being queer isn’t common at all back home so thinking about discussing this with family always felt odd and I always felt I would be disowned. I never really was aware of my feelings around girls until I was much...

Chasity Nao’s Coming Out Story
I am Black, I am a woman and I am…Well, you see I’ve never actually “come out.”I like boys and I like girls, and that’s just is what it is. When I write it down it sounds simple, but we all know it’s so much more complex than that. When I was around 11, I was (and...
David Lovric’s Coming Out Story
My outing is kind of weird, cause I’m only out to my mother, friends and followers. The rest of my family doesn’t know it because they’re Catholic Christians and very old fashioned. But most of them live in my home country Croatia, so I really don’t have to worry...
Pansy St. Battie’s Coming Out Story
It's hard to shape my coming out as one thing. I've come out to myself, my family, my friends, the public. It's easy to reduce coming out to one defining moment, but it really is a process, an ongoing story. However, each of these steps is its own story, and coming...
Coming Out Genderfluid
Identifying as genderfluid comes under the non-binary umbrella. Like their non-binary relatives, gender is not black and white. It’s simply a colourful exploration of their true selves. To identify as genderfluid, it’s the concept that gender identity is not fix. This basically means those who identify as genderfluid don’t identify with a fixed gender.
They can appear masculine, feminine or neutral and still be fabulous.
