You and me
All adults
"They show support when they respect that I'm not out to many people, and check with me about which name and pronoun set they should use with other people."
"We know who we are and if we come out to you that's means we trust you enough to tell you. But that trust can easily be taken back."
"The problem I come up with is that when people find out how I identify they treat me different like I'm 'fragile'."
Relatives
"I have lesbian aunts and they're awesome but they're not really close with my family. I'm not out to them but I'm sure they know because I'm kind of obvious about it haha."
"I don't have this kind of supportive relationship with LGBTQA+ adults in my life bc my uncle is gay and I haven't came out to him."
Coming out in general
"I choose not to let others know about the real me, especially with those who I do not trust whole heartedly."
"Going from friends groups that are accepting to society where they are not shoved me back into the closet in order to survive, let alone succeed."
Best practices for adult allies
Don't think of or treat me differently when I've come out you.
"Don't tell others without permission from me."
