When I Came Out

When I came out I told my sister I had something to tell her, and she blurted out, “Oh my god you like girls!” When I told my mom she said, “Ya I know, I’ve known since you were in 5th grade. My dad said, “Hey now you can’t get pregnant, awesome,” and laughed. No one but me was surprised when I figured it out. Last week my friend told me I am pansexual, and finally, I truly understand myself.

When I came out, I was sitting in the living room with my 2 other brothers. (I’m a quintuplet, but my sisters weren’t there.) I must have been looking like I was about to puke, because my brother Noah asked me what was up. I kind of just blurted out, “I’m bisexual… I think. *bursts into tears*” They looked at each other and said they had already kind of known. They both told me that there was nothing wrong with that and I’m happy that they were the first people I told.

When I came out I was talking to my mom for about 2 hours and we were talking about random things. Then I finally told it and she was really supportive. I’m really happy that my family is really supportive.

When I came out to my flatmate’s sister, she was very supporting. Day by day, I get more confident with more people about my sexuality, and I’m always grateful to have met so inspiring and beautiful people. My own regret is just about my family. They don’t know except my mum, but she still think I’m confused or something else… I hope she could see soon who really is her son…

When I came out…it was to one of my closest friends after she told me she was bi (I had a crush on her). A couple months later a couple of my other friends started to question their sexualities and came out as bi as well. I’m now dating my bi best friend as a teenaged lesbian and my parents are totally supportive of my dating girls. SO HAPPY!

When I came out my mom and dad brought me up a glass of wine to toast to my lesbian-ism.

When I came out to my friend Brian he didn’t believe me at first since I joke around a lot. It wasn’t until I offered to show him my internet history that he realized I wasn’t kidding, and he was totally fine with it.

When I came out to my two best friends as bi, they said, “Wow…” “Well, that just opens SO many more options for you” “Not just these jerks you’ve been talking to”. They were so supportive I cried at how grateful I am to have them.

When I came out, I was 16 years old on National Coming Out Day. I first told my best friend I was bisexual and he was accepting, then my mom. She wasn’t surprised and told me she loves me the same.

When I came out in middle school to a handful of my friends it went great, but then I was sent to a homophobic all-boys Catholic high school and barely anyone there knows. I’m basically in the closet again and it sucks.
