When I came out as bisexual to my friends, it was when one of them decided we should do “Am I gay?” tests online together and decide which ones worked and which ones didn’t. I got bi every time, but they just thought I was changing my responses to mess with them. I thought they realised I was actually bi, but after a while, someone turned to me, and said, “Wait, are you actually bi?” “Yes,” I replied.

When I came out to my best friend as bisexual, he was super supportive. I didn’t even know I liked boys until he came along and he doesn’t know. I’m going to tell him how I feel in a week; if not, there’s no other option but to move on.

When she said no, I replied, “Bzzz! Incorrect answer!”
And her reply: “Are you — Are you coming out like this?”
“Yep.”
“That’s so cool!”

When I came out, I was scared that my friends would judge me. They knew about my sexuality and gender identity, but being polyamorous isn’t normally socially acceptable. But the friends I told were super supportive! (15/Pan/nb/polyam)

When I came out, it was to two of my best friends and I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I’ve come out to more friends since I went to college but am afraid to come out to my parents because I live in a small town and people aren’t very open-minded. (M/20/Gay)
