Coming Out is a rite of passage that anyone on the LGBTQ+ spectrum has to deal with at some time or another in their lives. The whole thing is a very personal choice and there are no real set guidelines on when and how in this heteronormative world, we should take this step.
Openly gay Ron Holt is a Certified Psychiatrist and motivational speaker who has made the ‘coming out’ issue a major part of his work. He has produced a very useful video series on How To Come Out Safely, which may not hold all the answers, but they definitely go a long way to helping anyone about to embark on this part of their life’s journey.

P.S. When 20-year-old filmmaker ALDEN PETERS decided he was ready to come out as a gay man he did it the only way he knew, and that was to film each of the encounters which he hoped would then help him and his immediate circle understand the situation better. Check out his documentary COMING OUT which can be viewed on ITUNES and other streaming platforms.
