Building a Contemporary Queer Youth Archive in Brighton & Hove

Conversations of significance (coming out)

  • “I think in this age and generation, nobody should be afraid to do anything”

  • “So me and my mum came out to each other!”

  • “I realised the things that made me identify as one or the other, were inherently really sexist“

  • “I don’t really mind what pronouns people use. I normally put ‘they’ on my sticker, because it’s easier than writing ‘whatever takes your fancy!”

  • “I went to quite a religious school where it wasn’t really acceptable to talk about being gay”

  • “I talk to most of my friends. Quite a lot of them are queer, so it’s fine. Then the ones that aren’t, I try and talk to them and they ignore me”

  • “My dad’s side of the family is actually Muslim and I haven’t come out to them”

  • “That’s just how they are, so I’m quite happy. It went as well as it could do I think”

  • “I haven’t worked it out. How do you come out to your mum?”
