In honor of October's LGBT History Month and National Coming Out Day, and in conjunction with the upcoming CT Forum "Being Gay" on October 5 with Martina Navratilova, Dan Savage, Bishop Gene Robinson, and Jonathan Capehart, The CT Forum gathered a diverse group of 20 people -- including Connecticut citizens, business and political leaders, and students --to share their personal "coming out" stories about being gay.

Deeply personal, powerful, and compelling, this 90-second video is just a sampling of the rich stories shared by this remarkable group. A longer video compilation will be shared later this week.

These stories give a local Connecticut focus to the "Being Gay" Forum conversation on October 5, and it is our hope that they will serve as a platform for important dialogue -- not just platitudes and soundbites -- that our community needs.
