Coming out as LGBTQ or Two-Spirit is often an important milestone. It means coming to terms with one’s own sexuality or gender identity and sharing it with family and other important people in one’s life.

It can be both difficult and liberating. Some are greeted with love, acceptance and support. Others face rejection.
