Today is National Coming Out Day, a day to honour and support 2SLGBTQ+ people who are on their journey towards self-acceptance and those who choose to share their identity with others.
Coming out is a personal experience, some people may share their identity openly, while others may choose to keep it private. There`s no right or wrong way to navigate your identity or decide when and how to share it with others. It`s important to remember that coming out is not essential for everyone, and choosing not to come out does not make your 2SLGBTQ+ identity any less valid.
No matter how you identify, you`re always welcome at Good2Talk. We’re here to offer support, listen and celebrate your journey with you.
