First steps in the gay community

Do I have to tell my employer that I’m gay? How do I deal with rejection after coming out? And how did other gay people experience their first steps in the community? Countless questions arise, especially at the beginning of your journey into the LGBTQ+ world. Maybe you’ve been gay or bisexual at heart for a long time, but only now are you ready to live this part of your identity in everyday life.

At Tom Rocket’s, we accompany you from the very beginning. Our guides and experience reports help you find your way in the community, build self-confidence, and get answers to the most important questions.

Our community shares real stories and encouraging testimonials that show you: you are not alone.
