this is really well written 🙌 i’ve been out since i was a teenager but my partner came out later in life, so i enjoy hearing the perspectives of others who came out later so i can try to understand as much as possible

Thank you so much 🩷 It means a lot that you took the time to read and connect with my perspective. Your openness to understanding different coming out experiences is really beautiful, and I’m sure it means the world to your partner. Everyone’s journey is different, but having people who listen and support makes all the difference!

This was so healing to read Maude thank you. I started coming out to myself at 25 and later to my immediate family at 28. I had friends who sensed all along that I was a lesbian and were wondering when I would start naming myself as I was. Turns out the closet was glass the whole time but it sure felt dark in there nonetheless. Thank you for including these resources as well!
