When I Came Out

When I came out to my best friend, she cried, told her parents, and her parents told mine. I don’t think she knows what she did, but now my parents don’t let me hang out with my other LGBTQ+ friends. Now I don’t trust her with anything and I’m not as close to her as I was before.

When I came out, my mother had a panic attack and my father kicked me out of the house. They are still convinced I’m straight, but I’ve fallen in love with the guy of my dreams… Not sure what to do.

When I came out to a friend it was in a mall and I did it over text because I was scared to say I was bi out loud. After telling her she said she guessed it because she thought I was gay at first then when I denied it she thought I was straight, but she still got a vibe, and came out to me as bi too. We then proceeded to check out EVERYONE in the mall.

When I came out to my mom, she simply nodded and hasn’t mentioned it since. She says it’s my business and I think she doesn’t believe I’m into females.

When I came out, I came out on Valentines Day of 2016. I told my family during dinner and said, “I’m bisexual.” It couldn’t have gone better. They were so supportive of me and they said they loved me no matter what, and they haven’t treated me any differently. I’m so happy.

When I came out, I spelled it on a Scrabble board. My mom looked up at me and said, “Well, are we going to play Scrabble?”

When I came out as a lesbian at 17 to my mom she hugged me and told me she loves me no matter what and just wants me happy. She said she had a feeling I was gay because I NEVER asked her about boys.

When I came out as bi it was not by my choice. Someone I was dating got upset when I wanted to end it and outed me to all my friends and family. Fortunately not too many people cared and it ended up being OK. Unfortunately people can be cruel…

When I came out, I was 30, and it was the most confusing process I’d ever been through. Friends froze me out and then blamed me for disappearing, and I was an outcast at church for quite some time. Through the difficult times, my wife just kept asking, “But isn’t this person worth it?” Two years later, I’m married to the woman of my dreams, and my relationships are starting to repair.

When I came out my mom thought I was joking. My mom said she would still love me no matter what. I love my mom.
