Sound like you are on the right path, Graeme, and it takes time. Probably not what you want to hear… What other resources or groups are available to you in the area where you go to college?

With respect to being a communications major and talking about coming out… you are working though stages of gay shame and authentic validation (both concepts in The Velvet Rage). If it would help, I’d be happy to book some time to have a chat with you.
