Coming Out
'Coming Out' as a 'statement', whether personal or political, is a relatively recent phenomenon. Recognising and admitting one's own sexuality to one's self, is something every single one of us has done. The term 'coming out' is used retrospectively as a general one in relation to telling friends and family, or being open at work. Our contributors have shared many experiences of coming out and linking them to other factors such as religion and ethnic background, school, university and work as well as coming out in or through the Women's Liberation Movement, as well as to the prevailing laws and mores of society at the time.
