Thank you so much to those of you who participated and read along tonight.
I hope that everyone got something out the chat. It seems like most of us share similar feelings about coming out - it's exciting, scary, freeing, uniting, confusing - all in one.
My wish for everyone is that there comes a time in your life where you feel safe to come out and accepted by people in our community. Whether that is a large group or your friendship circle. But most importantly to feel accepted by yourself. It doesn't happen overnight and it comes with practice!
I thought we'd end with something fun. I love this question that came through:
What are your favourite coming out/pride songs?
Here are some of mine and hope to see all of yours:
Free - Ultra Nate
Freedom - George Michael
True Colors - Cyndi Lauper (written for her friend when they came out 😍)
Born This Way - Lady Gaga
