By Like many parts of Asia, the LGBT+ community is a heavily marginalised group in China. As a result, there is still a very strong stigma attached to being LGBT+ in China.
This causes many LGBT+ people in China to struggle with their sexuality. In a bid to promote greater self-acceptance, an LGBT+ organisation have come up with an innovative way to help those struggling with their sexual orientation.
Dear Straight People,
An LGBT organisation in China have come up with a coming out guide to promote greater acceptance among China’s LGBT+ community.
Formerly known as PFLAG China, Trueself is an LGBT organisation in China that has been around for over a decade.
The coming out kit is called “A Journey to True Self” package. It includes guides and tutorials related to the topic of coming out.
“It won’t be a one-size-fits-all package, but it will be a gift to discover one’s true self.”
Hu Zhijun, founder of Trueself
Priced at 99 yuan ($15), the kit aims to help people come to terms with their sexuality. It took the Trueself team half a year to come up with the coming out kit.
Apart from coming up with the kit, Trueself also empowers the LGBT+ community through a range of other measures including a national hotline, workshops, conferences and more. You can find out more about Trueself here.
