Coming Out, Coming Home: Finding Truth in a Loud World
“Today’s episode is close to my heart — a reflection shared in honor of National Coming Out Day. Coming out isn’t just a moment; it’s a lifelong journey of returning home to ourselves. For some, it’s loud and proud; for others, it’s quiet and sacred. Wherever you are on that path, your truth deserves safety, celebration, and love.
When I say coming out, I also mean coming home — back to that inner voice that was never wrong about who we are. In a world that often shouts over us, finding peace in our own truth is an act of courage.
To everyone listening — whether you’re out, questioning, stealth, or simply existing authentically in your own way — this episode is for you. Let’s sip our tea, share our stories, and keep creating spaces where we can all belong.”
The Center on Colfax in Denver — one of Colorado’s largest LGBTQ+ community centers, offering everything from youth programs to legal clinics to trans resources. If you’re listening and need a place to connect, that’s a great spot to start.
Nationally, a huge shout-out to:
• The Trevor Project — for providing 24/7 crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth. You can reach them at thetrevorproject.org or by calling 988, then press 3.
• GLAAD — for fighting every day to make sure our stories are told accurately and with pride in the media.
• Trans Lifeline — a peer-run hotline offering emotional and financial support for trans people. Their number is 877-565-8860.
• And PFLAG, the nation’s largest family and ally organization, helping parents and loved ones learn how to support the LGBTQ+ people in their lives.
