&#13;
Cheryl: Introduce the panel and ask them to say when they came out.  Then take the earliest first (probably Boden and Casse, followed by Patsy, Kim, and Bonnie).&#13;
&#13;
Ask them first to talk about what resources they were aware of and what links they had to the lesbian community before they came out.  Let all of the panelists speak to this first.&#13;
&#13;
Then ask them to talk about the challenges/difficulties of coming out in their period and follow up with their own coming out story.&#13;
&#13;
Audience:  Ask the audience how the five coming out stories relate to their own experience and invite them to ask the panelists questions (if they haven’t already done so).</text>
