LGBTQ Vancouver: Share your coming out stories
Why are we doing this?
For those who identify as LGBTQ, the process of accepting one’s own identity and to “come out” to family and friends is often described as an extremely challenging and liberating experience.
Coming out is a different experience for everyone. While some experiences are difficult and heart-wrenching, others are empowering and heart-warming. After all, it’s a process of revealing one’s true self and heart, and it provides LGBTQ allies with a sense of what it is like to be in another’s shoes.
Daily Hive is proudly a fully-inclusive organization and a major supporter of the LGBTQ community. To continue an ongoing annual tradition within our organization, for Pride 2016 we are inviting our LGBTQ readers to submit their own coming out stories as a means of inspiring others – to help other LGBTQ Vancouverites find their way by relating to other experiences.
