Book Project: Coming Out Stories. Share Your Story.

Filed Under LGBT | 3 Comments

I receive a lot of requests for help with new projects.  All of them are worthwhile projects, but I have to start being selective with the projects I choose to help promote because (a) I receive A LOT  of requests (b) I accept A LOT of those requests (c) There’s only 1 of me!

One of my Facebook friends asked me to help her promote her book project.  She’s collecting coming out stories and she needs to collect quite a few more so she has enough to get her book published.  I think this is a great cause because I believe visibility is an important piece in the fight for full equality for the LGBTQ community.

If you want to participate, send your answers to these questions to:  welcomeout1@gmail.com

1.  When did you know you were gay?

2. What made you realized you needed to come out?

3. How did you come out to your family and friends?

4.  How has your life changed since you came out?

Please try to be as detailed as possible.  If you have any questions, contact Amber.
