Reasons to coming out. And live a happy life.

For International Coming Out Day, we have collected 10 of the most popular reasons to take a decisive step towards an open gay life. If you like at least two of these, then perhaps it's time to do it. 


Coming out is a deeply personal and courageous decision. While everyone's journey is unique, there are several compelling reasons why many people choose to come out. Here are 10 reasons that might resonate:

1. Living Authentically.

Coming out allows you to live your life true to who you are. It removes the burden of  hiding your identity, enabling you to embrace yourself fully.

2. Mental and Emotional Health.

Hiding your true identity can lead to anxiety, depression, or stress. Coming out can relieve that pressure and lead to improved mental health and a sense of peace.

3. Building Deeper Relationships.

Coming out can strengthen relationships with friends, family, and loved ones. It allows them to truly know and understand you, deepening emotional connections.


4. Creating Visibility and Representation.

By coming out, you contribute to greater LGBTQ+ visibility, which helps break down stereotypes and misconceptions, making it easier for others to come out in the future.

5. Empowerment and Self-Confidence.

Embracing and sharing your true identity can be empowering. It builds self-esteem and confidence, showing you have the strength to live authentically.

6. Fostering Inclusivity.

Coming out can inspire others to be more open and accepting of diverse identities, promoting inclusivity and tolerance in social and professional circles.


7. Challenging Prejudice.

When more people come out, it challenges societal prejudice, homophobia, and transphobia. It helps shift public perceptions, leading to broader acceptance and equal rights.


8. Finding Community.

Coming out can connect you with supportive LGBTQ+ communities, offering a network of individuals who understand your experiences and provide solidarity.

9. Modeling Courage and Pride.

Coming out can inspire others, particularly  younger generations, to be proud of who they are. It shows that they’re not alone and that acceptance and self-love are possible.


10. Long-Term Happiness.

While coming out may involve challenges, many people experience long-term happiness, fulfillment, and a stronger sense of freedom by living openly.

The decision to come out should always be made on your own terms, and it is important to consider your personal circumstances. Support networks, including LGBTQ+ organisations, can provide guidance through the process. We hope everything goes smoothly for you and are keeping our fingers crossed ;)

Faces of Pride and small stories about a big holiday, self-acceptance and involvement in Pride Month

Once again in June I started thinking about what Pride Month is with its endless Pride Parades and ubiquitous rainbow parties in an individual sense for each of us. For me it's a time of intense work, for others it's a reason to travel to see a specific event like the Berlin Love Parade, a friend of mine argues that there's nothing to celebrate because the way you have sex is a stupid excuse for large-scale events (dude, you celebrate with thousands of people the fact that you just prefer to ride a motorcycle!), but for some John from a small town, this is a reason to take a deep breath, finally announce “I’m gay, my dear parents!”, tell everything to hell and start live an open and happy life. And here are some stories about why Prides are cool and why a whole summer dedicated to it all is so important. Someone will recognize themselves, and someone will share their experience in the comments. Let's go! It sounds very corny, I know, but for me Pride is a time to be you
