Coming Out of the Closet and What It Means

I clenched my sweaty hands and heard nothing but my slow heartbeats and heavy breathing. I paced around my room and felt the hairs on my arms rise. The windows were closed, but I felt colder than usual. I sensed an invisible weight on me, and I needed to push the words out. For some reason, I just knew that I would feel weightless after.

I'm gay.

A ball of self doubt grew in my chest. I'm gay. Maybe I wasn't? I'm gay. Okay, I am.

For many people, the coming out era happens differently. We hold varied terms and agreements with ourselves. The process comes naturally, not at all, or somewhere in between. We enter this place on uneven circumstances and we usually only a limited amount of coming out stories.

This week I want to talk about coming out experiences and create a platform for other LGBT young students or adults. We do not have an accurate mainstream representation. I think this upcoming show will help with that.

Join in the conversation this FRIDAY at 3pm-4pm at KSFS RADIO

We have a fun segment called "Funk, Marry or Kill" and we play some cute tunes! Also, follow us on Instagram for frequent updates!

xoxo,
