    Hi peeps,

    http://emptyclosets.com/home/pages/resources/coming-out-stories.php

    This is the latest resources page to be added to our coming out section. So far it contains the story of 6 members of staff: beckyg, Behling, Martin, Paul_UK, pirateninja and Vampyrecat.

    We are hoping to add more soon, and we welcome more stories from you all. We want to try and get a mix of stories, such as different reactions from people, different perspectives (such as becky receiving the news) and just a wide mix of stories.

    If you are interested in adding your story then please PM me your story and the staff will review it and add it. :slight_smile:

    Enjoy. :grin:

    Straightforward no-hassle ones are welcomed too. It's good to get a balance, so no matter how easily or badly it went, please send it in.

    I'll try to get mine sent in tomorrow, but mine also isn't that interesting. Things didn't go like clockwork, but I didn't have any major dramas or hassles.

    I'm thinking of sending mine in...it's not super dramatic, but it's been a rough road as well. Tis good to have balance though, yes?

    Yep, we would like a wide mix of stories. :slight_smile: The stories don't always have to be doom and gloom, and we don't want to scare peeps by making it seem like it's always like that. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: It's good to read eventful and dramatic stories, but when you're thinking of coming out it also feels good to read uneventful and and quiet stories. :grin:

    I'll throw mine in there later. I think I have most of it already typed out, so some simple revisions and it's good to go.

    You could either PM it to Martin or post it in Ask The Mods. Only a few of the staff can add and change stuff in the Resources section so we'll copy/paste it there (assuming there are no problems with it). :thumbsup:

    Hi there! If you would like to contribute your coming out story, cut and paste it into a new thread in Ask the Staff, and a staff member will add it to the resource page.
