It's true that coming out doesn't just happen once: it is a constant process that is different for everyone.

This celebration of diverse voices from across the LGBTQ+ community has been brought together to raise money for Akt. Akt is a UK charity which gives support to young LGBTQ+ people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness or a hostile living environment.

The anthology contains poetry, short fiction, memoir and essay pieces - all around the theme of Not/Coming Out. Each piece reflects the variety of experience within the community and that wherever you are in your journey you are welcome.

CW:

This anthology contains references to homophobia, transphobia, coming out, and mental health. Some individual pieces are introduced with their additional content warnings.
