NSRAP talks ‘Coming Out’

Remember what it was like when you first started coming out? Was it recently? Was it a few years ago? Or even longer than that?

The Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project (NSRAP) is hosting a panel to discuss this very topic this weekend. Held at Shirley Burnstein Hall at 2615 Northwood Terrace, the panel discussion will have six people — three youth and three elders — talking about the difference and similarities found in the coming-out process throughout the years, and their lives.

For more information, check out NSRAP’s website, or the Facebook event page.
