As we celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride Month this June, let us recognize that the ability to live openly and fully in a society deeply steeped in heterosexism and transphobia requires navigating the transitions of coming out every day. For some people, these transitions are too dangerous to think about. For others, they are magical and liberating.

What is it like for you not to know?
