“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.” - Audre Lorde
This an open call for submissions for "coming out" stories that will form part of an anthology on Gay African Coming out Stories. This anthology, entitled, "Africa Coming OUT" will capture stories from across the continent. We hope that these stories will not only entertain us but also provide encouragement to us all, that we are not alone in the process.
We want our voices to be heard and our empowering presence to be felt.
We encourage all members of the community from all walks of life, to send in a submission and encourage all types of stories (happy, sad, painful, inspiring, or celebratory).
Submissions are accepted from LGBT individuals or family members of LGBT individuals.
