Our glitzy friends over at Soho drinking haunt Ku Bar, have put down their cocktail shakers for a second, to engage in something a little more sobering.
In partnership with charity Diversity Role Models, they’ve recorded a video featuring coming out stories from the staff. The aim is let people know that coming out is something we all go through as LGBT people, and that sometimes, it might not be as difficult and scary as you think it is.
“Continuing the launch of our charity partnership, Diversity Role Models, I am so proud to utilise the wonderful people a part of the Ku Family, to create the “Ku Coming Out Diaries” said PR manager Nieko Strobel.
“Diversity Role Models is an organisation that aims to tackle homophobic bullying in schools, and to help LGBTQ+ youth be confident and happy in who they are, and to face the issues and battles that come with coming out”
“The Ku Boys and Girls are often looked up to, we have a range of very confident and happy members of the Ku family, but we wanted to show that even they (the muscle marys and the promoters), have had their own stories of coming out, they themselves weren’t always so confident – and we hope those stories of growth helps people, whether LGBTQ+, allies or people that are the bullies – understand that being who you are is absolutely okay.”
