WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE OUT?
Because it is knowing and accepting yourself, and because it is allowing people to know that everyone is equal, but everyone is different.
WHY ARE YOU “PROUD”? WHAT ARE YOU MOST “PROUD” OF?
Finally figuring myself out. I had been the biggest Ally, and hadn't been being myself because of social norms, so I didn't even think that I myself was Gay.
WHAT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF COMING OUT?
Figuring it out for myself, and telling the people closest to me.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO OTHERS WHO COME OUT?
It is the hardest to come out to the ones closest to you, but if you mean enough to them it shouldn't been an issue or affect anything.
THOUGHTS FOR NON-LGBT PEOPLE ABOUT LGBT PEOPLE AND CONCERNS:
