Coming Out
Coming Out is a process unique to the LGBT+ Community and people have had a variety of experiences in how this has panned out for them. University is often seen as a fresh start and a great time to start opening up about your sexual orientation / gender identity, which can be a great relief!
Coming Out is entirely optional and there is no right or wrong with whether someone decides to come out, also it’s worth acknowledging that you don’t just “Come Out” once! Some people come out to their friends at Uni but not their families etc.
If you would like advice on coming out, feel free to get in contact with any of our welfare officers or any other committee member you feel comfortable opening up to!
The video here was made by committee a few years back with a real range of coming out stories, enjoy!
