Annual national coming out day reminder that you dont owe it to anyone to come out of its not safe or you’re not ready & it doesnt make you worth any less in our community. Equally important to not force anyone to come out. You dont know their journey & they dont owe you that part of their story.

Thanks NYCC, for many coffees, and the rainy farewell. So much to say, and yet I will not be circling back with a longer post or recap later, this is what you’re getting.
