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.

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.
Story #1148
When I came out, I told one of my really good friends that I wasn’t sure about the feelings. She went to her boyfriend, and they both told everyone in the school that I was a Lesbian. So a 9th grader walking into high school for the first time had no friends; people would laugh at me, stare at me. Three years later I have made friends with people who accept me. I am now in a happy relationship.
Story #1146
When I came out, I was up late at night, thinking through it and before I knew it, I posted my coming out on Facebook and Twitter. I cried the whole night, talking to friends and family. I’ve only gotten positive responses, which surprised me because my whole family is religious, except for me.

When I decided to come out I emailed my mom. She called me into the kitchen and I broke down in tears. She later spoke to my dad and told me that it doesn’t matter I’m gay and she still loves me for who I am. 🙂
Story #1144
When I came out, my friends all fully accepted me. A while later, I got my first girlfriend. Her parents found out about us and told my parents. My mom was okay with it but my dad completely shut me out. My girlfriend and I are still together despite what they say, and I won’t see her until school starts again. But hey, I have to stand up for who I am and who I love.
