October 11 is National Coming Out Day. This month, we will be discussing coming out. Let's talk about coming out as polyamorous/non-mono, and how that intersects -- or doesn't -- with coming out as LGBTQ+.
Bring your stories, your experiences, your concerns, and your celebrations. We'd love to hear from YOU! See below for more information, and some reminder notes.
