Coming out means when someone decides to tell others about their sexuality or gender identity. Sometimes people are not sure about their sexuality or gender identity and it can take time to figure it out. When someone is ready to come out, it means they want others to know this important part of themselves. This might mean telling friends, family, or even the public.
It can be scary to come out because not everyone will understand or accept the person for who they are. But it is important to remember that coming out is a personal decision and nobody should ever pressure someone to come out before they are ready.
Sometimes people might come out multiple times because they might constantly be discovering new things about themselves or may meet new people who they want to share their identity with.
Remember, coming out is a big step towards being true to oneself and can be a very empowering experience.
