"A Chinese LGBT organization is experimenting with a new coming-out strategy.

Trueself, formerly known as PFLAG China, aims to guide and educate those
willing to open up about their sexuality to family, friends, and peers through
the “A Journey to True Self” kit. Priced at 99 yuan ($15), the set comes with a
range of coming-out tutorials and a step-by-step guide, and will soon be
available for sale.

“It won’t be a one-size-fits-all package, but it will be a gift to discover
one’s true self,” Hu Zhijun, founder of Trueself, told Sixth Tone days before
the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia which takes
place on May 17 every year.

Attitudes toward sexual minorities in China have become relatively tolerant in
the past decade, especially among younger demographics. While the LGBT
community has become more visible, a growing backlash and shrinking discourse
have, however, raised concerns over the community’s rights."
