This aim of this guide isn't to advise you whether or not you should disclose your sexuality. It won't tell you when you should do this or to who. Only you are familiar with the people that are important in your life, so only you can make those decisions. This guide will however help you think about all the things that need to be taken into account in your decision-making process.

The guide is divided into a number of sections, each of which can be selected from the menu bar at the top of every page.

Please contact us if you have any comments or suggestions on ways that this guide might be improved. We would also be pleased to receive any coming out stories so that we can learn about individual experiences. Again, this will enable us to review and improve this guide. All materials submitted to us will be treated in the strictest confidence. Nothing will not be published without your express permission.
