 ​"We gather for the purpose of listening and sharing with one another as we walk together along our life paths as women-loving-women.

​
Our subtitle is AWE: Authenticity, Wholeness, and Empowerment, as these are our ultimate goals. We value and progress towards:
  • AUTHENTICITY: being truly who we are;
  • WHOLENESS: being all of who we are; and
  • EMPOWERMENT: moving through life as healthy and strong-spirited women.​​​

Welcome Message

Welcome to the website of the Coming Out Women Support Group of Tacoma, WA. Coming Out Women is a confidential support group for women, mostly in their mid- to late-adulthood, who are dealing with coming out issues. We are diverse in many ways from our ages to living situations to degree of out-ness. Yet together we embrace one important gift: we are women-loving-women. Now is the time to be truly ourselves:AUTHENTIC, WHOLE, and EMPOWERED.

Meetings

COWomen meets 6:30-9:00 1st + 3rd Wed. each month in a private room at the University Place Library located at 3609 Market Pl W, University Place, WA. Once you enter the library, head to the far right back corner to find the meeting room. This is a confidential support + networking (not therapy, but therapeutic!) group for women mostly in mid- to late-adulthood. This group is absolutely free of charge. We welcome you!

Unable to attend in person? 

Coming Out Women strives to make itself available to everyone interested in participating. For some women, and for various reasons, meeting in person is not always an option. In the past, we have arranged to include women in the meeting through FaceTime or another computer connection, or via phone.  

Who Uses This Group?

​We are women-loving-women. Each of us finds that our primary attractions and most beautiful, meaningful relationships are with women.
  • Some of us are coming only now coming out to ourselves.
  • Some of us are coming out to friends, family, and co-workers for the first time.
  • Some of us have been out for years, but continue to struggle with coming out challenges, especially as we age. 
  • Some of us currently share such a relationship with a partner.
  • Some have recently broken up.
  • Some have never been with a woman, yet we know that our hearts, spirits, and passions dwell within a relationship with a woman.
  • Many of us are (or have been) married to men--as we tried diligently to fulfill society's (family, church, work) demand that we mold to fit into the heterosexual box. 
  • Most of us ​​ have lived to please others/tried to meet their needs for many decades.

Coming Out Women is Sponsored by TLC, Tacoma Lesbian Concern and  and by PS OLOC, the Puget Sound chapter the national organization, Old Lesbians Organizing for Change. It has also been recognized as a resource for our community by the Tacoma Chapter or PFLAG.
