The Truth Comes Out Project To Release Youth CD on National Coming Out Day

             The Truth Comes Out Project (www.truthcomesout.com) will be releasing a CD called The Truth Comes Out on October 11, 2003.  This is also the day often called National Coming Out Day by many gay and lesbian advocacy groups.

             The 16 track CD is geared toward high school and college age people and provides answers to questions that are often raised by individuals struggling with same sex attraction and homosexuality. The narrative advises against declaring a gay or lesbian identity during adolescence and provides balanced information about sexual orientation that is not often reported in the popular media. The text of the CD was written by Warren Throckmorton, PhD, one of the leading writers and researchers in the field of sexual orientation, and was narrated by Byron Harvey. Noe’ Gutierrez, Jr. and Jerilee Smith talk about their stories of change from gay to straight. The CD also features music by Sonia Vannest, Stephen Bennett and Throckmorton. The CD is available through www.truthcomesout.com and www.mp3.com/truthcomesout.

             The Truth Comes Out Project is a new effort to provide factual and balanced information concerning sexual orientation directly to youth through the Internet and CDs. Written materials for youth leaders, youth groups and churches are in development and will complement this new CD resource. A secondary focus is to provide a clearinghouse of factual and balanced information for the media and other sources.

             The project developer, Warren Throckmorton, can be contacted at (724) 458-3787 or ewthrockmorton@gcc.edu and is available for interviews and comment concerning this new project.
