When I Came Out

When I came out to my parents as lesbian, it was the scariest and most freeing moment of my life. They told me they loved me but not to tell anyone and maybe I just haven’t found the “right boy” yet. Little do they know half my high school knows and I’ve had a girlfriend for almost 2 years.

When I came out, I was at a party and I told all of my friends I needed to tell them something. My best friend asked, “Are you gay?” to which I replied, “Pretty much.” They were all accepting, thankfully.

When I came out, I told my best friend via Facebook I was gay. I was so scared of telling it to anyone, cause I felt like a failure. After I send him the message, he replied that he still liked me and then said he was gay too. Now we are gay best friends and he taught me to be more comfortable with who I am, but I still haven’t said what I’m actually feeling for him…

When I came out to my teacher (a little bit homophobic but still ok) after graduation, she was just like, “Noooooo”, but then she said that she wants to understand me because I’m the first lesbian friend of hers and she doesn’t want to hurt me. I was surprised but happy too.

When I came out as a lesbian my mum, dad, and my brother disowned me. Today we don’t talk and it’s like I never existed. Recently got married to my wife. They didn’t attend my wedding. Living my life with the person I truly love.

When I came out it was the scariest and most liberating moment of my life. I was driving with my best friend and I finally got up the courage to tell her, after numerous failed attempts, that I was bisexual. It took me the longest amount of time to get the words out, but when I finally did she hugged me and made me pull over. We ending up sitting there and talking for hours. She was totally supportive of me. I haven’t told anybody else since then but I still feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

When I came out, it was to my beautiful best friend, a catholic girl. I was twelve and she was nearly twelve, and I told her that I was bi and in love with her. She said it wouldn’t change us, but it did anyway. Now it’s been three years, and I still love her, and she knows, and she won’t even look my way.

When I came out as a bisexual woman to my friends, my ex-boyfriend and his twin brother kept saying I was a lesbian who doesn’t want to feel awkward. Lucky for me, I have great friends who accept me, and we’re going to give those twins a piece of our minds!

When I came out to my friend, it was at school and I was too scared to tell her. I just wrote it on a sticky note. She told me she was gay too. I’m just so happy.

When I came out to my brother we were in my room and he was trying to make fun of me, calling me “lesbian.” Then I said, “It’s true. I’m a lesbian.” He was super surprised but ok with it.
