When I came out to my two best friends one was shocked. The other was through text so it was hard to say but he seemed nice. Other than that I’m still scared to tell anyone else. (Genderfluid/14/Pansexual)

When I came out… it was to myself at 15. I cried all night long and had a panic attack but it was a huge weight off my shoulders and I’d never felt more relieved in my life. I’ve grown to fully accept myself, I finally know who I am and even if not everyone knows it I couldn’t be happier. (FtM/16/Trans and gay)

When I came out my friends all told me I was a freak. I started being bullied by a girl I had a crush on; she told me I was nothing. I haven’t found any solace in this world. (F/17/Lesbian)

When I came out today to my friends it went way better than I thought it would’ve. They high-fived each other and were happy they finally had a gay friend. Then we just moved on and the rest of the day was just like before.

When I came out it was the beginning of the school year. I had talked to my gay uncle and bisexual best friend and decided to tell my mom and her boyfriend. I literally went out and told them I had something important to say. I just said I like girls, went back to my room, then came back out to my mom crying and my mom’s boyfriend standing there. My best friend told me tonight that my mom told him that I’m just going through a phase. (F/16/Lesbian)

When I came out to my best friend, we were at school and he was asking who I liked. He said, “So your crush, did he move away?” The bell rang and I was late, so I looked at him and said, “Not a he,” then ran to class. This was about four hours ago and he hasn’t said anything. I’ve seen him twice since I told him. 🙁 (F/13/Bi)

When I came out to my friends, we were joking around and taking those “Are you gay?” quizzes online at lunch and when my test results said I was bisexual I sighed and said, “Well, that was a waste of time, I already knew that.” It got quiet, then all my friends congratulated me, saying it was obvious, and we went back to eating lunch.

When I came out to my best friends their reactions were just “Oh, okay, we honestly don’t care.” They gave me the strength to come out to my other friends too and are helping me to come out to my parents. I’m really proud and I love them. (M/15/Gay)
