What inspired you to write "Out"?

If I'm honest, I was less 'inspired' by what exists already, and more motivated by what is yet to exist in terms of LGBTQ+ literature. As anyone who is part of a minority will tell you, representation in the media is so important, and as a community we have suffered without that for so long. This is why the likes of RuPaul's Drag Race, Pose, and Hollywood have become so popular in recent years - because they come following such a long period of time when these things were considered taboo. We can finally celebrate these aspects of our community, instead of suffering in the dark.
