Such a simple yet effective idea to promote a really great cause…

There is a whole variety of ways that you could define bravery and courage but the decision to come out and be proud of being gay is definitely one of them.

The LGBT Helpline have just released this inspiring video, as part of the #heart2heart campaign in the lead-up to National Coming Out Day, a civil awareness day celebrated annually around the world on 11th October.

In the video, six people of different ages from around Ireland talk to their ‘younger selves’, giving themselves advice on how to handle the process of ‘coming out’ and talking about what they could or could not have done differently.

The video is attracting support from a range of well-known personalities, Rory O’Neill aka Panti Bliss and broadcaster Anna Nolan are just two of the many ambassadors for the campaign.

Take a look.

In addition to promoting the video online in the lead-up to National Coming Out Day, the LGBT Helpline is calling on members of the public to share their stories of coming out on Facebook and Twitter, using the dedicated campaign hashtag, #heart2heart.
