This week we are featuring a non-traditional break-up story: breaking up with a perceived identity. We talk to Gently Evolving who, after identifying as a lesbian for four years, fell in love with a cisgender man. She discusses the complexities of queer identity, how she still considers herself part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and tips on how to handle tricky coming out situations.

Survival strategies include:

Be gentle with yourself Surround yourself with those who will be understanding of your journey Be careful who you come out to
