The site is unique because, rather than claim that coming out is obligatory, it emphasizes the fact that the process of coming out must be taken at a pace which is comfortable with each individual. We have to feel comfortable with ourselves before taking the giant step of telling other people about your sexual orientation. We have to be aware that coming out can be a positive and self-affirming action, but that it is not always an easy thing to do. So, that's why ASD gives it approval to this site. Although the group meets on the grounds of the church, the chapter is not affiliated with the church.
New participants are always welcome.
