Coming Out & Resources

Coming out is a process of understanding, accepting, valuing and embracing one's identity. Coming out includes both exploring and acknowledging one's identity, and it is a very personal and unique process that happens in various ways and occurs at different points of an individual’s life. Coming out experiences may also vary based on age, location, familial status, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, religious/spiritual beliefs and countless other factors.Coming out is a continuous, sometimes lifelong process that some people will disclose while others may only identify on a personal level.

The LGBT Resource Center is here to support you by providing a safe space where you are able to talk one-on-one about your experiences, learn about student organizations, attend educational cultural events and find supportive resources.

Feel free to ask the LGBT Resource Center director a confidential question.
