Coming Out Stories has played a huge part in both better understanding my daughter and understanding myself. My very heartfelt thanks,

“This is such an empowering, inspirational podcast! It brings together various coming out stories from LGBT+ people with very different identities and from very different backgrounds - but each of them offers hope to anyone considering coming out. A must-listen.

Coming Out Stories has been massively helpful for me over the last couple of months, deciding to end my 8 year 'straight' relationship and come out as gay. Keep up the good work.
