When I came out it was to a girl I had just met. We were in eighth grade, and I basically broke down crying against her shoulder in one of the back storage rooms of my school’s music room. My family is extremely homophobic, and having the support of this girl made me realize that I could make my own family. She came out to me around a year later as a fellow lesbian and we are still very close. Though I still haven’t come out to my family or anybody who I am very close to, I still found my own safe place with people who love and support me, and I am happy. (F/Gay)
