PrideFest Coming Out Stories

1 of 23

 

"My mom bought me a Tyra Banks calendar and I told her I liked dudes. We didn't talk for two years, but now were the best of friends. I've been out for almost twelve years now. I joined the military. My whole company knew about me. You can do anything you want as long as you don't let anyone hold you back."

- Craig Tyson, 27

Photographer Kate Levy asked 2011 PrideFest goers about their "coming out" stories and heard, well, a wide variety of answers from a wide variety of people.
