I, myself, had the sting and backlash of coming out, first as a gay youth and now as a trans* woman. I have had to face personal hell and demons. Now, looking back I can say I have had to face life with determination I never thought I had. Life never stops, it keeps moving, so as a Buddhist, I realize that consistency from beginning to end has allowed me to keep going. Love is realizing what we can do for ourselves as much as we do for other people. We can make efforts to change what is going on in our lives through self~reflection and affirming our ability to transform the negatives into positives. Slowly, but surely, I shall tell you about my own experience and hope the information helps you in small way. My story is sad, to be true. I'm no longer sad, but have the memories that I keep with me. ~^*^~ (will edit more into here on a later date)
