Living out on a daily basis can be really hard! I've often caught myself slipping into gender-neutral language or other vague speech habits to cover up the reality that I'm gay. And that's while intending to live openly!

Living out is rewarding, but it takes a certain amount of conscious self-discipline.

And then there's the balancing act of speaking authentically without being an annoying bullhorn.

But living out is our road to personal and public freedom. You're a trailblazer. And that's often not the easiest thing to be.
