Since we still live in a heteronormative culture in the United States (aka a culture where it is assumed from birth that you will be heterosexual), many queer people go through the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanwellnesscounseling.com\/4-ways-to-support-the-lgbtq-community-for-pride-month-and-beyond\/\">process of coming out<\/a>. Coming out can be a complicated process &#8211; often, it\u2019s ruled by fear and shame, but it can also be a celebratory time. Many people fear losing their loved ones if they tell the truth. It can be a weight off of a queer person\u2019s shoulders to be able to tell the truth about who they are. It can be a surprise to learn something new about someone you know. Our culture is becoming more accepting of LGBTQ folks, but there is still a lot of unlearning we have to do before the stigma is gone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having to hide something fundamental about yourself can lead to grief. Many queer folks experience some level of homophobia on an external level, but there is also internalized homophobia to deal with. When we grow up in a culture that tells us being straight is the norm, realizing you\u2019re not straight can cause complicated feelings to come up internally as well. Even if we don\u2019t believe it on a conscious level, the message we get in our culture is that being gay is weird or shameful, so it\u2019s hard to completely avoid that, even for out + proud LGBTQ people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding that there are larger cultural forces at work than just an individual\u2019s decision might help you come to terms with why coming out can be such a struggle. The pull between being your authentic self and risking the rejection of everyone you love is agonizing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If someone comes out to you, there are some important things to keep in mind to make sure the experience is a positive one and not traumatic. Here are some things to keep in mind when someone comes out to you:\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Remember it&#8217;s an honor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone comes out to you, they\u2019re trusting you with their true self. Many queer folks have to make hard decisions about who it is safe to come out to. LGBTQ people run the risk of losing their relationships, being rejected, being discriminated against, and being misunderstood when they make the choice to come out. Even if this is not how you feel, it\u2019s important to recognize that someone coming out to you is an honor. This means they feel safe enough around you to share this important information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Never ever out someone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are absolutely zero circumstances where it is okay to out someone without their permission. Outing someone without permission is an act of violence. LGBTQ folks face a lot of discrimination and violence in the world, and sharing this fact about them with others can lead to more of it. They get to decide when to come out and to whom. Remember, someone who is out to you might not be out to others. Many queer folks are out in social spaces, but not at work or in their family lives. Coming out is a personal decision that should only be made by the person themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ask who knows (so you don\u2019t accidentally out someone)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Related to the last point, when someone comes out to you, make sure to ask who knows. This is an important step to make sure that you don\u2019t accidentally out someone. Ask if there are certain people who don\u2019t know. Make sure you understand exactly who you can talk to about this. If you\u2019re not sure, err on the side of caution and don\u2019t say anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t make it about you<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes to help us understand things, we relate them to situations we\u2019ve experienced ourselves. This is not the time to do that. Someone\u2019s coming out is not an opportunity for you to make the situation about yourself or your reaction. If you\u2019re having a hard time with the news, wait until you\u2019re no longer with them before you begin to process your feelings. It\u2019s okay for you to have your own reaction, but don\u2019t add your reaction to their to-do list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Remember they haven\u2019t changed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after someone has come out, they are still the same person. They are just able to stop hiding their true selves. Instead of feeling as though you\u2019ve lost something, remind yourself that you\u2019ve gained something more precious: their trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be polite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because someone has come out to you doesn\u2019t mean that you can let all social graces fly out the window. It\u2019s still inappropriate to ask people invasive questions about their sex life, their body, their medical history, their plans for having children, or other private matters. Even if they\u2019re choosing to share one aspect of their lives with you, that doesn\u2019t mean that you have unlimited access to everything. Remember your manners!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Celebrate them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Too often coming out is seen as a bad thing, and that\u2019s because of our largely homophobic culture. While the tide does seem to be turning and LGBTQ folks are more accepted these days, many people still see coming out as losing something rather than fully stepping into who you are. Coming out doesn\u2019t need to be a devastating experience but it is way too often because people see being queer as a bad thing (even if it\u2019s subconscious). Let\u2019s celebrate people who come out instead of seeing it as something taboo. Throw them a party! Take them out for a special dinner, or write them a card about how excited you are to know them even better. A positive loving response to coming out can go a long way to making an LGBTQ person feel affirmed and safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you or someone you know is questioning their sexuality or in the process of coming out, <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanwellnesscounseling.com\/lgbtq\/\">our LGBTQ+ affirming therapists<\/a> can help support you during this process of self-discovery.
