Some people might not come &#8216;out&#8217; until much later in their lives, or may come &#8216;out&#8217; more than once as they embrace different aspects of their identities. We also know that many people, for a variety of reasons, may not be able to &#8216;come out&#8217; safely (worried about judgement, concerns around family reactions, religious\/cultural beliefs, fear of imprisonment\/jail). It is never okay to &#8216;out&#8217; someone without their permission!<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to watch the video above from the Human Rights Campaign for some words of support and encouragement from both people within the LGBTQ++ community, families, and allies.
