Dibs’ story about coming out
Dibs thinks back to their coming-out experience, including their first crush on a girl, their excellent friends and their supportive family. After looking back on it all, they've got some pretty great tips for other people going through a similar situation.
What are Freedom Stories?
Together, ReachOut and ACON worked with a bunch of talented filmmakers and storytellers to produce digital stories. Our storytellers share their own experiences in coming to terms with their sexuality and/or gender, and reveal what they wish they’d known then, that they know now.
