When I Came Out

When I came out I asked my mom to guess who I liked and she guessed the girl on her second try. After that she basically just said that I don’t need to put a label on myself, at the end of the day I’ll always be human. But that if I choose to put a label on myself (lesbian, gay) she’ll be fine with whatever it is.

When I came out to my bisexual best friend, it was so awkward because I thought maybe he would like me and we would get into a relationship. But no, I came out and he gave me a really huge hug and told me that he was happy for me. I felt so relieved, and now on to my family. (Male, 15)

When I came out (30 minutes ago) to my grandma, she said that she had never suspected a thing. A while passed and she says that she loves and accepts her thirteen year old bisexual granddaughter.

When I came out, it was the most difficult thing ever. Twelve hours ago, I told one very close friend that I won’t talk with him anymore. And he wanted to know. So, I told him that I am bi and I was in love with him. I wanted to say that 3 years ago but I couldn’t. He was so cool with that. “NO MATTER WHAT, YOU ARE STILL MY BROTHER”. That collapsed me. He was so supportive. But I am still so sad. I think that he will change his attitude against me.

When I came out to my mom I wasn’t that nervous because I thought she wouldn’t care but she said I was too young to know (I’m 14). Then a week later we saw a movie and two girls kissed and she said, “The girl-kissing-girl thing grosses me out a bit,” then said, “Oh, but aren’t you gay?” Then she told my aunts and my brother, which was annoying, and is making me tell my sister even though I’m not ready. And she keeps trying to talk to me about it so now it’s really awkward between us.

When I came out, it was only a few weeks back (keep in mind I’m 15). I went up to my mom and with no hesitation or shame said, “Yo, mom… I’m bisexual.”

Yeah, I had to define bisexual. Mom just said, “I used to think you were gay… so this ain’t too big of a surprise.”

When I came out to my dad it was by praying because he died in March before I could tell him.

When I came out, my parents acted like it was nothing and sent me to a psychologist. Now my father thinks that I am lying to myself, but my mom completely accepts me. I am worried about what will come for me in the future (I am 14 years old).

When I came out as gay I called my emo/alternative girl friend after having a f everything moment. She was like, “No way!” because we used to sort of go out. She told her sister (who is bi) right there and that got me slightly mad because it broke trust, but coming out was such a good decision and after that I told two close friends, my parents, and one of my sisters. Now I just have to tell my other sister, my homophobic best friend, and my totally accepting best friend before I tell everyone.

When I came out to my brother (20 minutes ago) I sent him a snap that said I was a lesbian and he is cool with it and so supportive. Now on to my parents.
