Episode 10 - Coming Out - Helena

Author: LGBTQ+ Stories & Inspiration July 13, 2021 Duration: 39:03

“I remember there were a couple minutes of you trying to get it out before you actually got it out. And me just hanging on the edge of my seat thinking ‘WTF is it!! What is it!?’. But it did take you a little bit to get it out.”

-------------------------------------------------------

A very special episode with one of my closest friends/soul sisters/horoscope and spiritual believers. We have 20+ years of history together (not a typo!) and she tells my coming out story from her own experience.

-------------------------------------------------------

Helena is an unapologetically passionate educator, dreamer, and a curious lifelong learner. When we’re not sending each other ridiculous memes, we have deep, thoughtful conversations which often go for hours and hours into the night.

Episode mentions:

  • Prop 8: A harmful proposition in California which passed and became law in November 2008. It created a stark divide in the state of California where harmful advertisements and scare tactics were used to spread misguided information which ultimately persuaded people to vote to ban same-sex marriage. It directly harmed many families and to this day, still brings back memories of a dark, disappointing time in California.

There’s something quietly powerful about the stories we carry but seldom voice-the small, defining moments that shape who we are. Gay Narratives is built on the idea that while photographs lose their color and keepsakes can crumble, personal narratives endure. This podcast from LGBTQ+ Stories & Inspiration dives beneath the surface to share real, often untold, experiences from within the community. Each episode is an invitation to listen intimately to stories that live deep within people, shared not just as recollection but as a release of positive energy and connection. You’ll hear a wide spectrum of voices and reflections on life, love, struggle, and joy, all framed within the broader contexts of society and culture. The aim isn’t just to document but to create waves of understanding and introspection. Tuning into this podcast means joining a space where storytelling is an act of resilience and authenticity, encouraging you to reflect on your own narrative while honoring the vast, human ocean of stories around you. It’s about the moments that shape us, told with honesty and heart.
