Coming out stories

Coming out stories are narratives of self-disclosure that become templates for how people should reveal stigmatized identities, often flattening the complexity, fear, and incremental nature of the actual experience. The published story rarely captures the drafts, the silence, or the times someone retreated into hiding.
