INSIDE COMING OUT LIKE A PORN STAR
with Jiz Lee • interview by Amanda Ferguson
HUSTLER: Was it difficult getting people to share their stories with you?
JIZ LEE: A few years ago I started talking to my peers about coming out. Just getting advice and comparing notes about things like coming out to your children or your siblings, parents or people you’re dating. Everyone had such fascinating stories. I thought, you know, this could make a really good book. So around 2012 I posted a call for essay submissions on my website and started collecting stories. With some people I already knew their stories, and so I asked them specifically to contribute.
