- “Why We Need Another Coming Out Story” discusses the challenges of living in a heteronormative society. As individuals who identify as LGBTQ, it can be difficult to find others with similar stories in order to create ties and generate a sense of community. This talk explores the negative effects of living a secret life, and builds on the theme of connection to persuade others that sharing their stories is a key factor in creating a more inclusive society.
Christine is a senior Psychology student at Wichita State University. She is a member of the McNair Scholars program, which helped her get started in undergraduate research where she found her passion for social justice and diversity and inclusion. With the help of her faculty advisor, she is currently conducting research on attitudes toward athletes who identify as LGBTQ. Upon graduating in May, Christine plans to pursue a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology, while focusing her research on LGBTQ issues. After graduate school, she aspires to work at a university in a counseling setting, and later, become a professor.When she is not in class or working on her research, she is a Peer Advisor at the WSU Career Development Center and a Health Care Specialist in the U.S. Army Reserve. She volunteers for the Compeer program at the Kansas Mental Health Association and is a member of the Student Government Association Mental Health Task Force.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
It DOES get better, thank you for sharing your story, Christine!
Proud to be a 27 year old, bisexual woman with a physical disability.
This is the point I think so many are missing when they comment things like, "oh just another celebrity trying to get sympathy by coming out and makijng themselves a victim." Everyone has a story to tell, and we never know who will be impacted.
Beautifully explained, thanks!!!
I really enjoyed this Ted Talks! So much I had to be nosey and see where Christine has been and where she is headed. No surprise this humble yet eloquent speaker is in grad school (2017) and well on her way to inspiring social justice in an area many assume we have "arrived." We need more "Christines" in this world, and three years past this speech I hope her voice is being heard. The title "Why We Need Another Coming Out Story" is apropos in a time we are surrendering our civil right progresses to convention.
