When I came out to my mom as bisexual she was like I told her I killed someone. Now my brother doesn’t talk with me because my mom told him she thinks I will make him gay and that’s weird and disgusting. I won’t do anything to my brother. She even told him to not walk beside me. (M/18/Bisexual)

Then, she came out to me.

When I came out… I was panicking and almost didn’t say anything. Then I realized I had to say something. So, I said, “Mom, I’m seeing someone… and it’s a guy.” Her response: “Ok.”
Needless to say I am thrilled she didn’t banish me… Still gotta tell my friends :/

When I came out to my best friend I just casually said, “I’m in a bad mood cause mom is upset that I am bisexual… which I am by the way. So do we have any chocolate?” She didn’t even give any reaction to me being not being straight, she just said, “No offense, but your mom is kind of a dick then” and then we shared a piece of chocolate and complained about the bad weekend we both had had.

When I came out to my best friend of six years, she was dropping me off at the train station. I waited till the last minute before the train was schedule to leave. When I told her I jumped out of the car and ran to the train. It turns out the train was over an hour late and I called her back and we sat in her car awkwardly till the train came. Good news, she supports me and it made us closer.

When I came out to my long distance best friend as queer, he said at first that he was okay with it and couldn’t change me. Then he said he thought I was confused or decided to change who I liked because I had little female attention, and told me to “jack off to a pic of a hot girl.” No thanks, and wtf?!?! (M/14)

When I came out I literally just walked into the lounge room and told my parents that I’m bi, and all they said was “Cool” and kept watching TV. So anticlimactic.
