NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY

WHAT DOES COMING OUT MEAN TO YOU?  COMMENT ON OUR INSTAGRAM AND WE'LL SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE!

FILM SUBMISSIONS FOR 2024 CLOSED - WHICH MEANS...GET READY FOR THE FILM FESTIVAL COMING SOON!

Movies and film have the power to connect us as a community; to share our sorrows and our victories.  Our community has always had to fight to be seen, and we want you to share your vision.

​

We've gathered film makers from all over the world to share their visions of what coming out means and want to share them with. â€‹

​

There is no one way of coming out, or how you express your gender and/or sexuality.  Each person who comes out follows their own unique path.  Get ready to explore coming out from some amazing film makers!

​

​

"Don't come out unless you want to.  Don't come out for anyone
else's sake.  Don't come out because you think society expects
you to. Come out for yourself.  Come out to yourself.  Shout, sing
it.  Softy stutter it.  Correct those who say they knew before you did.  That's not how sexuality works, it's yours to define."

Coming out is never the same twice, each person experiences it differently, at different times of their lives, and with different people they share themselves with.  It can be heart warming, it can be a comedy of errors, it can be scary, it can be heart breaking, but they are events that can shape our lives.  Each story deserves to be told and we’re so glad you’re here with us on this journey.
 
As we gear up for the first ever LGBT Online Coming Out Film Festival we encourage you to come along with us either as a participant and submit your film, or as a viewer of these amazing films.
