“Two or three things I know for sure and one of them is that to go on living I have to tell stories, that stories are the one sure way to touch the heart and change the world.” –Dorothy Allison

Do you have a story to tell? Coming Out Valley is interested in STORIES – not political rants. Your story may in fact be political – how could it not be? But here we would like to focus on the narrative. We are especially interested in coming out stories as they may overlap with other identities (religious, racial, ethnic, or class-based identities). 

OR your study doesn't even need to focus on "coming out," necessarily - it could just be a story that's connected in some way to what it's like to grow up/live/work/go to school as a LGBT person or as an LGBT ally in NEPA.
