‘Someone who knows you well will always accept who you are’

MOST of you will have heard of the term “coming out” at sometime or other in your life. It’s the short form of “coming out of the closet”.

It’s basically telling someone about your sexuality. It really only applies to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. If you are LGBT or if you’re questioning your sexuality, the burden on your mind is enormous. Telling someone can lift a weight off your shoulders.

However, who/if/when you tell is up to you. It can remain your secret forever, but chances are that would require you to live a very sad and lonely life. Having done it before, and talked to other people who’ve come out as well, I’d like to offer you a little bit of advice.
