Story #2756

When I came out, I was 12 years old and I was with a straight friend at a sleepover. She started talking about her female friend who had a crush on her, and I obviously looked uncomfortable (I was HEAVILY closeted). She asked if I was queer, and I replied with a very unconvincing ‘No!?’. She saw right through me and told me she wouldn’t tell anyone. I finally admitted I was gay. Then I barely slept the whole night and wished I was back in the closet. I still haven’t come out, and I don’t see my friend all that much. She moved away, and hasn’t told anyone ever. I go to a school where queer kids don’t get beat up, but they get excluded and people are weird to them. I’m planning to come out when I’m 16. (F/14/Lesbian)
