This is a section we'll all enjoy because they are OUR stories. Stories that help us learn from others, stories that show how much courage we all need to be ourselves.

As the page title indicates, we are looking for stories about Coming Out -- to yourself, to your parents, your friends, to a person you secretly loved -- or Staying In (the closet) -- because we're not ready, because of work, because of school, because we're not sure of anything.

If you have a story you want to share, please click here for submission guidelines.
