The person who is coming out gathers the people they want to come out to and requests that they assemble in a circle and, if possible, hold hands. The person then states:
“As we are connected in this circle, I am connected both to you and to the gay community. I hereby come out as a gay (man or boy, whichever appropriate) and encourage us all to reflect on how G-d has created us all in our different sexual orientations, for G-d’s glory.”
Everyone then is invited to bow their heads and take time for reflection.
After the reflection time is over, the person coming out says, “Blessed are You, Adonai our G-d, Sovereign of all, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season. Let us go in peace.”
Then everyone disperses.
