When I came out, it was to my best friend. I sent her a picture of “Bismuth” (Bi) on the periodic table and wrote “I am” before it. She said she still loves me and that was it. Nothing has changed; it’s like nothing happened. (F/14/Bisexual)
Story #1175
When I came out to my friend of almost 10 years it was to tell her that I liked her. When I told her, she asked if I was joking. I said no. She said that nothing will change and I hope that they don’t. If she ever sees this I want her to know that I love her.

When I came out, I told my best guy friend first (I’m a girl). He said that he knew since we first met a year ago. Everyone thought I had a crush on him but he knew they were wrong. He still loves me and has been a great support!

When I came out it was to my best friend, who is a straight male. I told him in a text. He has ignored me ever since. (13/Gay)
Story #1171
When I came out to my best friend it wasn’t a big deal at all. She low-key came out to me as bi as well and asked me about the girl I had been seeing. I was so scared that she would be uncomfortable around me but absolutely nothing changed!!

When I came out to my best friend, she told me to keep it a secret as no one would accept me.
Story #1172
When I came out over a group message with my closest friends, everyone was really accepting and supportive. Later, one of my friends messaged me separately and told me that she was really angry that I didn’t come out to her personally and that she felt like she deserved to know first. She then told me that she knew since we were in 6th grade. How she knew that I was bisexual I will never know, because I didn’t even recognise my attraction to girls until 11th grade and have never been very close to her.

When I came out for the first time, to my best friend, he was so unbelievably supportive and accepting. He’s given me so much confidence to come out to others and live the life I deserve!
Story #1168
When I came out, my parents were sure it was a choice. They keep telling me it’s “Satan’s lies” and that once I save up enough money I need to leave. This is going to be a painful few months, but it feels good to be free of secrets.
