The person coming out gathers the people they are coming out to and rings a bell. They then state, “With the ringing of this bell, I come out proudly as a lesbian to you.”
Then they ring the bell again and state, “As this bell rings out loudly, may acceptance ring out loudly against lesbophobia in the Jewish community and in all communities.”
Then the people being come out to say, “We thank you for inviting us to your coming out. We accept you and pledge to do our best to fight lesbophobia.”
Then the person being come out to rings the bell a last time and states, “With the ringing of this bell, I end this coming out ritual with hope and pride.”
