Coming out of the closet' can be a scary experience for those in the LGBTQ community. According to Stonewall, only half of LGBT people feel able to be open about their sexual orientation or gender identity to everyone in their family.
But this is a path well trodden by many, and some of those stories have been shared on the Coming Out Stories podcast and book.
Award-winning broadcaster and journalist Emma Goswell began the series in 2018, after taking inspiration from her friend and fellow broadcaster Sam Walker. The book inspired by the podcast was released in 2021.
