99 Coming Out: Process and Our Stories

In this episode we give a super quick overview of the Cass Identity
Model of the coming out process, and then each of us shares our
personal experiences of coming out, which continues to this day.
Siena was raised Catholic and attended an all-girls Catholic high
school. Toast was raised as an Evangelical Christian. By sharing
our stories, we hope it helps to encourage and affirm, validate and
support you, wherever you are in your process. Because truly, it
never ends!

We recorded this episode on Sun. Jun. 21, 2020 which marked our
101st day of self-quarantine during the global COVID-19 pandemic,
amid a fresh realization in the broad social consciousness, of the
presence and wrongness of structural racism in society.

Our intention has always been to uplift, entertain, and encourage
people, especially fellow LGBTQers and progressive allies around
the world, ever since we first started podcasting in 2007.
Over the years, we’ve continued to get messages from listeners
who’ve shared how it’s helped them through difficult times, like
coming out, rejection from family, dealing with religion, or living
in the closet, helping them feel more understood, less alone, and
just kept them going, reminding them and showing them, that life is
worthwhile.
That’s exactly why we do it.
We managed to self-finance the podcast since 2007. For 13
years!
But now, we’re extending an invitation, and a way for you, the
listener, to play a part in supporting it. See all kinds of ways to
