Out Here

r/outhere

This is a safe place for all members of the LGBTQ community and its advocates. We're all family here. If you can't be "out" IRL, you can be out here. Feel free to discuss your day, your hopes, your dreams, and frustrations.

Imagine you're home from university and just sat down to dinner with your family. As everybody starts catching up, you want to share the exciting news about the new person you're dating. Unfortunately, you know if you do, it can only end badly. Or, you just really want your family to know that there is more to you than you have been able to share, but you can't tell them; either because you're not ready or they're not. We want to know these things. Share them with your surrogate family here.

If you do come out IRL, PLEASE let us know so we can celebrate your success or support you if it doesn't go the way you had hoped.

Flair with FFM identifies the person as a Founding Family Member of the subreddit, meaning they were here when all this happiness started. Without them, there would be no (out)here.

If you want to post a survey for the LGBTQ+ community, contact us first and get permission. Because of the nature of this subreddit, we take our family's privacy VERY seriously, and will generally delete any post that solicits or offers personal information.
