When I came out I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was outdoors with a couple of my friends for a school fundraiser and they were messing around asking dumb questions. One of them eventually turned to me and asked me rapid fire questions such as ” Do you have a girlfriend” and “Do you have a boyfriend?” Eventually I cracked and said I was bi. One of my closer friends was confused and said, “I don’t have many LGBTQ friends.” At the time I had a crush and I was about 80 percent sure that he wasn’t completely straight, so I said that he could possibly be gay. It turns out he wasn’t, but we’re still friends. The original people that I told that I was bi eventually leaked the tea to some of my other friends and now the majority of my friend group knows. I’ve yet to come out to my parents and, even though my family is atheist, I’m scared. (M/13/Bi)
