Many of us wonder: Can I be myself AND be accepted?
At Authenticity Fest, the answer is yes.

At this FREE 3-hour event, we will share stories and talk about our true selves. You can come and just listen, and if you want, you are welcome to share your own story. The theme is authenticity & coming out, so please tell us about anything you were or still are nervous to share.

Some examples of experiences or identities that people can sometimes be nervous to share about are

physical/mental health
drastic career changes (or desires to change careers)
non-traditional relationships
immigration status or history
drug use or abuse
financial struggles
gender identity
sexual orientation
other struggles or experiences

You don’t have to decide in advance whether you want to share your story. You will also have the opportunity to share without getting on a stage, including anonymously.

SCHEDULE
Please come within the 1st half hour and try to stay for the whole event. That being said, if you need to come late or leave early, you are totally forgiven.

3:00-3:30 - snacks & fun welcoming activities
3:30-5:00 - story sharing
5:00-6:00 - discussion

LOCATION
LGBT Center
3909 Centre St
San Diego, CA 92103

The LGBT Center is near the intersection of Centre St & University Avenue, half a mile east of the Trader Joe’s.

Free parking is available.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is at the LGBT Center but it is about all kinds of authenticity, not only about sexual orientation/gender identity. Any stories about anything you were/are nervous to share are welcome. We are thankful to the queer community who courageously developed the tradition of coming out — sharing their/our truths even when being authentic was even more risky.
