When I came out as bisexual my friend told me, “Wait, but girls can’t like girls. That’s just wrong. Ya know what? It’s probably just a phase anyway.” She was the first person I ever told, so now I have a fear of telling anyone else because I think they’ll have the same reaction.

When I came out for the first time, it was over the internet. I told everyone on a random chat site, “I’M BISEXUAL!!” and then cried for an hour, confused about my feelings for both guys and gals. That was when I was 10. I’m now thirteen and am terrified of being accepted in the real world. (F/13/Bisexual)

When I came out, it was to my mom and stepdad over a dinner of hot wings and cheese fries.
Me: I have something to tell you.
Mom: What?
Me: I don’t know how to say this.
Mom: You have a girlfriend.
Me: Close. *sigh* This is hard.
Mom: Just say it.
Me: I’m queer.
Mom: So you’re a lesbian?
Me: No. I don’t really want to get into it right now.
Mom: You have to educate us.
Me: Well, I date boys and girls and everything in between.
Mom: Oh. Okay. I love you.

When I came out I was trying to convince an homophobic friend that gay is okay so I accidentally shouted, “IF I BRING MY GIRLFRIEND WOULD YOU BE OKAY” in front of a classroom and my math teacher.

When I came out to my mother, she gave me a huge hug and told me that she loved me for who I was. Later that day, I found out that my grandpa has hit her because she didn’t “raise me right.” I’m too afraid to come out to anyone else now.

When I came out as bisexual to my best friend, she told me that she still loved me, and it didn’t change our friendship. She said that it might be a phase, and whether it was or not, she would always be my best friend. She said that no matter what, she would always be there for me.

When I came out (a few hours ago) to my grandma, she was in the kitchen and I just entered the house. She started teasing me about boys, and I turned around debating on what to do about this. After a few hours of work, I went back inside to change clothes and she called me into her bedroom to talk. She was upset because we never really talk anymore, and I told her it’s because you always tease me about boys and I kinda swing more towards girls and that’s why I go to my school’s GSA. She told me that’s ok, and to get myself together, and she just wants me to be happy.

When I came out I sent my friends a snapchat of a closet and then another one of me walking out. I think they got the idea.
Story #1149
When I came out, my mother told me not to label myself. She said that I wouldn’t be able to escape the label, citing incidents from 6 years ago, when I was half my age. She also says I’ll change my mind. She says 12 is too young to be asexual. I’m 13 now and I want to come out again, but every time I try I get lectures.
Story #1147
When I came out as gay to my close friend, he really understood. Supported me, and is a super trustworthy person to talk to. Slowly telling all of my other friend now, and I’m much happier! Easier than I expected.
