Coming out
When you’re ready to tell that first person about your sexual or gender identity – or any people anytime – give yourself time to prepare. Think through your options and make a deliberate plan of who, what, why, and how.
Read through advice and other people's experiences in our collection of documents about coming out.

Healthy relationships
We believe in consent in all things, a politic and practice of the skill and joy of setting and honoring boundaries in all parts of our lives. Boundaries in friend, work, roommate, and dating relationships are all part of a culture of consent!
Check out these resources for some expansive perspectives on how to ‘do’ relationships, communication, and more. Some of these documents also include negative examples, like how to spot an abusive relationship.
