Gay Wedding Glossary: Coming Out

Bernadette Coveney Smith - Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Coming Out:  Also known as "coming out of the closet."  The ongoing process of telling people that you are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, which is a lifelong process of acceptance. Publicly identifying one’s sexual orientation may or may not be part of coming out.

When planning a wedding, most wedding vendors will assume that a couple is straight unless told otherwise.  Same-sex couples must come out over and over again while wedding planning.  A good wedding planner will come out on behalf of his or her clients so couples can avoid awkward situations.
