Happy National Coming Out Day!

Coming Out looks different for everyone. It's yours. It's your journey and your story to tell. It's not even mandatory. What is mandatory is your safety, your good health and your happiness.

Show up as you are, however you are. You can tell as many folks as you'd like, or as few.

Being out is not what makes your identity real.
You don't owe any explanations.
You do deserve happiness.
You do deserve to be celebrated.

Be YOU!
Be PROUD!

Check out the The Trevor Project in the comments. We've added a link to their website with a guide to coming out, should you need it.

Friday October 9th at 5:30pm is the next monthly Trans Support Group meeting.

🚨Update🚨
Our support group facilitator is "under the weather" and feeling ill, so tonight's meeting will be a meet up and hang out. Folks are still welcome to come, as always.

The Trans Support Group will begin meeting on the Second Friday of each month, unless we post differently.

Whether you’re seeking connection, guidance, or just a place to feel understood, this group is here for you.
All 18+ trans folks are welcome in this safe, inquisitive, and affirming space! 🩵🩷
