Coming out is hard to do ... and there are some amazing stories collected here, from all walks of life, all over Earth.  Please consider sharing your story, whether you came out yourself, or somebody else came out to you.  For both interviews, there's a standard set of questions plus plenty of space for you to add anything you like, just use either of the aforementioned links - thanks.  The interviews are published here and on a South African LGBTQI portal called QueerLife - big ups to them for hosting the online form and supporting the project - don't forget to visit them and see your story there.
