with No Comments

Coming out will be a different experience for different people. Some young people will have struggled with their sexuality or gender identity, and may find it difficult to tell friends and family. Others may find it liberating to be able to express themselves freely. But whatever the situation, coming out to a parent, sibling or other family member can be extremely stressful.
