For Chad (he/him), coming out is a story of becoming more authentic to himself, becoming who he is, inside and out, and being more open.
“I had a hard time coming out to the snowboarding community… I didn’t know where I would fit in.
“I didn’t know if the timing was right, I didn’t know when and how I should do it… and I realized there is no best time. There is no better time than now. I realized it’s a journey for everybody, and it just takes time.”
...Coming out is more than one day or moment, it’s a lifelong journey. Find resources in the Coming Out: A Handbook for LGBTQ Young People from The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/trvr_support_c…/coming-out/
“If there are any people in your life that you love and that you also haven’t talked to in awhile, because you just think that, ‘Oh, they’re fine. They’re doing great.’ Those are probably the people that you need to reach out to.” - Lexy, a filmmaker living at home in Troy, Missouri.
“What Do You Love?” These are the four words that Lexy asked Levi, which led to her discovering that her friend of 15 years had a love for reading. That question during their video call led to a two-person book club to stay connected, and it proved the catalyst for helping Levi through his difficult time. Sometimes, a small gesture can go a long way.
