When I came out to my nephew who’s about the same age as me he took it really well. However, when I told my sister, she flipped her sh*t. Her loss, I guess (M/16/Gay)
Story #1273
When I came out it was via Facebook private messages to one of my best male friends. He often asked me if I had any crushes in my life or anyone special that he should know of. After days of denying I finally admitted that I had a crush on a girl. His response was amazing; he basically said that “that’s so cute, you should tell me more of this girl that stole your heart.” I never felt so happy in my life.

When I came out… I told my two best friends. They both hugged me and said they loved me and that we would be friends no matter what. Then the next day I told my girlfriend who I live with. She freaked out and I moved out that night. I told my parents and they didn’t say much at all and helped me move out. This was less than an hour ago.

When I came out to my grandma, she was shocked and surprised. She had no idea I was bisexual as I didn’t show any signs. When I came out to my mom, she was also shocked and disappointed. However, both of them love me no matter what and support me despite their disappointments.

When I came out, it was on a piece of paper. I had one of my little siblings give it to my parents. My parents then had a talk with me, expressing their total support. It was so great to finally stop keeping my sexuality a secret!! (13/Pansexual)

When I came out to my friend at summer camp, it was while I was talking about my depression. “You’re depressed? I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?” I said it was because of something. She said, “Oh, you’re bi, aren’t you?” Now she makes jokes about how gay I am.

When I came out I was really scared. I’ve came out to my best friend. I was nervous, and I’ve only told on skype: I’m gay. He said, “I thought that you want to suicide, but I feel now reassured. And really I feel very honored that you told me that.” I couldn’t sleep that night.

When I came out to my cousin with a letter she was like, “So?” I thought she would freak out or something but she was too calm and I was like, “So??? Give me a freakin reaction, woman!!!” Then she said, “I always knew and plus I remember that you were telling me how much you loved this girl when you were in fifth grade.” I was like, “Oh…”
Story #1266
When I came out to my close friends as lesbian they were like, “Oh… I thought so. But you dated a guy once so I thought you were bi.” And continued having a regular conversation. They are very accepting and don’t treat it like it’s the most interesting thing in the world.
Story #1265
When I came out, it was on a phone call with my friend. I expected him to hate me because I live in Korea (lots of homophobic people here). However, he said, “Meh, you always said being gay wasn’t bad.” I think it was the first time I cried from joy ^^
