Help for LGBTQ+ and coming out in Zimbabwe
From people who came through it
“Coming out is different for everyone. For me, my dad stopped talking. That hurt more than I expected. But some people surprised me. My brother let me in. A friend from class checked on me. The waiting list for the clinic is long, but I'm still here. If you're just starting, take it slow. You don't have to tell everyone at once. And if someone walks away, it says more about them than you. Keep the people who stay.”
Brief Orchard · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“Coming out is scary and messy. Not everyone will react well, but some will surprise you. Your journey is yours, and you don't owe anyone an explanation. Take your time. And find at least one person who sees you for who you are. They're out there.”
Rambling Dolphin · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“I was right where you are in 2023. Back then it was married with kids and only now admitting it to myself. I laugh properly again. It doesn't stay this heavy. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
Roberto from Arequipa · been through lgbtq+ and coming out“Reading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Starting HRT, every single day. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Be gentle with yourself.”
