To the Lighthouse is one of Virginia Woolf's most autobiographical works, and since she was an active member of the Bloomsbury Set, it inevitably echoes the once revolutionary thoughts that were to shape our world. Set in the pivotal years spanning World War I, it describes a gathering of artists, intellectuals and children at the Ramsays' holiday home in the Scottish Isles. Guided through their parallel streams of consciousness, we are given a poignant sense of the isolation coexisting with togetherness, and of a permanence that can survive the seeming transience of life.

I coming out sono tutti diversi non solo perché sono diverse le persone che li fanno, ma anche perché sono diverse quelle che li ascoltano. Ogni coming out è una storia, il racconto di un pezzo di viaggio unico, un incontro tra chi ha bisogno di dire e chi ha (si spera) voglia di ascoltare. Queste sono 12 storie che vogliono uscire dall'armadio, ora non resta che starle a sentire.
