#NationalComingOutDay remember your journey is your own. Coming out is a constant journey and not a once in a lifetime announcement.
Make sure it is safe for you to do so and remember you are loved. I came out as a lesbian and as a trans gay man. I have never been happier than being myself.

Let's start a ripple effect and get the talking going, let's make it acceptable to reach out and say when we are not ok.
It’s OK to talk!
Ask people how you can help.
Keep an eye on friends with mental health issues, they may be really struggling and could be desperate for someone to open up to.
