    Any recommendations for songs that speak to you about who you are or have comforted you in the coming out process?

    While I can't say there are any songs that helped me in the coming out process, this one speaks to me about trying to suppress who I am, and eventually deciding not to; I found it thanks to this forum on a thread similar to this one, so I can't claim credit for it:

    Thanks! Got to love Green Day. I think the 'True Colors' I know is the Phil Collins version.

    This song, definitely. There's nothing more comforting than listening to some classic alt-rock. Especially when it's The Replacements. <3

    Despite how omnipresent music has been in my life, I don't recall finding solace or comfort or strength in any songs. Probably just as well. :slight_smile:

    That isn't to say this one doesn't get the job done.
