Diane Kresh: On Coming Out

Post Published: October 11, 2018

Everyone Has A Story


"Before there was a 'coming out,' there was a coming of age."

"To me, a relative latecomer to this party, it means something more. It means standing up for yourself. It means opening yourself up to risk and disappointment. It means finding your voice, and speaking out with that voice, and not only when it's safe to do so. It means telling yourself you can, when everyone else says you can't, or shouldn't."

Listen as Arlington Public Library Director Diane Kresh tells her moving coming out story at Arlington County's 2017 Pride Celebration.
