Coming Out at 12: Gabby’s Story from Canada

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, we speak with Gabby – a brave and bright young nonbinary person who identifies as a bisexual lesbian, using they/them pronouns. Just days before the local Pride Parade in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, Gabby shares their powerful story of coming out at the age of 12 in a small Canadian community. 🎙️ What’s inside the episode: Gabby's reflections on the emotional and social challenges of coming out early – and doing so as a nonbinary queer youth in a relatively conservative region. What it means to grow up openly queer in a place where LGBTQ+ visibility is evolving but still limited. How family support – especially from their mom, who was present for the interview – helped them navigate the complexities of identity and acceptance. Why Pride is not just a party, but a powerful moment of recognition and belonging for queer kids. Gabby’s heartfelt advice to LGBTQI+ children in Belarus and across Eastern Europe who may be dreaming of coming out but are afraid to take the step. Personal messages for parents and allies, on how to create safe, loving, and empowering environments for queer youth. 🌈 This conversation is more than a coming-out story. It’s a quiet act of solidarity, a voice of clarity and compassion, and a gentle reminder that queer kids everywhere deserve to be seen, heard, and loved – just as they are. 🎧 Listen now to hear a voice filled with courage, wisdom, and heart. The podcast interview was conducted with the consent and in the presence of Gabby’s mother.
