I want this to be a continuation of the other thread we had on the old FA forums. There is a very long, helpful copypasta there that instead of copy-pasta-ing here I will leave the link to the thread via the "wayback machine" (https://web.archive.org/web/20110602131647/http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/31826-Coming-Out-The-Thread) This thread is for people to discuss coming out as LGBTAQ+. This should be considered a "safe place" within the forum rules for people to come out, receive advice and support for coming out or to tell their stories. Please note that this thread is not about "coming out" as furry. For some reason, it was a common misconception in the past.
