When I came out to my grandma, she was shocked and surprised. She had no idea I was bisexual as I didn’t show any signs. When I came out to my mom, she was also shocked and disappointed. However, both of them love me no matter what and support me despite their disappointments.

When I came out to my friend at summer camp, it was while I was talking about my depression. “You’re depressed? I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?” I said it was because of something. She said, “Oh, you’re bi, aren’t you?” Now she makes jokes about how gay I am.

When I came out I was really scared. I’ve came out to my best friend. I was nervous, and I’ve only told on skype: I’m gay. He said, “I thought that you want to suicide, but I feel now reassured. And really I feel very honored that you told me that.” I couldn’t sleep that night.

When I came out to my cousin with a letter she was like, “So?” I thought she would freak out or something but she was too calm and I was like, “So??? Give me a freakin reaction, woman!!!” Then she said, “I always knew and plus I remember that you were telling me how much you loved this girl when you were in fifth grade.” I was like, “Oh…”

When I came out to my close friends as lesbian they were like, “Oh… I thought so. But you dated a guy once so I thought you were bi.” And continued having a regular conversation. They are very accepting and don’t treat it like it’s the most interesting thing in the world.

When I came out, it was on a phone call with my friend. I expected him to hate me because I live in Korea (lots of homophobic people here). However, he said, “Meh, you always said being gay wasn’t bad.” I think it was the first time I cried from joy ^^

When I came out to my younger sister, we were on our neighbor’s trampoline, playing the non-alcoholic version of Never Have I Ever. It was my turn, and I said, “Never have I ever had a crush on a girl,” and I put one finger down. My sister was shocked, and asked repeatedly if I was bisexual. I told her that I was gay, but that it wasn’t important, and that it didn’t change anything. We had a great conversation, and I’m so thrilled to know that she loves me no matter what! (F/13/Lesbian)
