In loving memory of Katie Thompsen, my surrogate mother, sister, and friend. 
I just wanted to to thank you for this great website. I think it’s wonderful that someone thought of this and I believe it can help people in places you haven’t even thought of. Anyway, I’m looking forward to watching more stories and thanks.
I agree with Loana. This website is so inspirational, and provieds people with such a wide variety of coming out stories, and really gives people an insight as what to expect if they choose to come out to their family or friends.
Thanks very much, the site is very helpful!
First of all, I’d like to thank everybody participating in this website; you guess helped me through an extremely rough part of my life… THANK YOU SO MUCH!
All the coming out stories played a huge part in my acceptance of my own sexuality; they helped me relate and understand myself – without this website, I suppose that years would have gone by before I would have realized who I really am. So again, I thank you with all my heart!
I’m glad to see that so many new people have chosen to share their own story with the world, because I know that it is a great help for so many people, both straight and gay and everything in between. I only hope that this site will gain even more visitors and attention soon!
10000% support from Denmark! <3
thank you so much for creating this website. i, too, have been going through a very difficult time and have been feeling like there is no way out. hearing these stories makes me feel so much less alone and i just can’t thank you enough for that.
I am so grateful to you all for leaving such touching comments. Christina, your comment brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy that these stories were able to help you realize that your sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of and should be embraced! Thank you for watching. You are all part of this project, and I am so lucky to receive the incredible support from you all around the globe. THANK YOU!
