‘I’m sorry I can’t say this to your face, but words fail me every time I try, even though I know you would be fine (and knowing you, you might have already guessed).’
‘Shit. I’ve made this sound like a big deal. It’s really, really not. I’m not a murderer or a heroin addict (how boring), I’m just the same old bitter, unreliable, drunken fool you know and love.’
A moving, inspiring and thought-provoking collection of 50 coming out stories from around the world. From the good, the sad, the surprising and the funny, no two stories are the same, yet all are written by people who share the courage to be vulnerable, take huge risks to find love and acceptance and are brave enough to be their authentic selves. Whether you have any experience of coming out or not, these stories are incredibly powerful and moving.
