Description
People who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community unfortunately have to find their way through this rite of passage, "Coming Out." The idea is not balanced, or fair, straight people don't have to come out but, in this collection, we ride the roller coaster of someone who explains how and why they've had to be closeted for so long. They share with us the idea of Games and that hiding who they were was like a game to them. If they weren't found out they were winning, though so much of their self was losing. In Behind Closed Doors we are reminded of the strength that this person has. They know who they are, and they love themselves. The joy they have with the honesty that they have to hide from everyone but themselves. And finally, in Finally Coming Out, we hear the final moments before their truth is revealed and their adamant response that they are never going to hide again. A coming of story for all of the people in our rainbow that have fought just to be who they are and share that gift with the world. *This performer may be any gender.
