I came out as queer my 20s, and the bar scene was very much at the centre of my social group, dating women for the first time, exploring my sexuality, etc. The guidance and inspiration you offer here would’ve been so helpful back then.
This really resonated with me, only in reverse! Sobriety is what allowed me to see clearly that I was queer. So I had to “come out” as sober first and then later “come out” as queer. But all these steps are so helpful.
I am so glad you were able to lean on the queer community to help you get sober, even though it makes bars and Pride events so incredibly tough. Congrats on your sobriety! IWNDWYT
Such a beautiful share, Caitlin. Thank you!
