When I Came Out

When I came out… I texted my mother in 6th grade (I am now a freshman in college) and she said, “no youre not” so I was like whatever. My brother came out because of my courage and they accepted him. I came out a second time and they were more willing to accept us both. 🙂 Go gay siblings! And now…I am about to give my speech about coming out at the local PRIDE organization at MWSU 🙂

When I came out to my sister I couldn’t say it because I was very scared (not because she would reject me; it was because I’ve never said it out loud) so I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote, “Im gay” and then she started crying a bit because she said she was very happy that I trusted her so much to tell her the truth and after a while she joked, saying, “So you don’t like women because they don’t have something you like” (hahahahahahah). Now I feel very happy and free (even though she is the only one who knows XD ).

When I came out, I originally only told my guy friend who turned out to be gay too. Now down the line I’m in college and all my friends except one are not straight and I feel so free to be a gay/pansexual 16-year-old gender fluid person. 🙂

When I came out to my sister, I was laying in her bed helping her with homework. I had asked her a question but she wouldn’t answer because she said she didn’t trust me. I told her I’d tell her a secret if she would tell me and she agreed. I said, “I like guys…” She said she still wouldn’t tell me. When I asked why, she said I had to tell her a secret that wasn’t obvious.

When I came out, my mom wept. And cried. She was so distraught. I had also told her I am not Christian. She still doesn’t accept it 4 months later :/

When I came out to my mom, she told me she loved me now and she always will. I could barely contain the tears.

When I came out to my friend, I was laying in her lap. I looked up and said, “Do you like boys?” She’s like, “Um, yeah?” I said, “Me too!” And she said, “Well, that’s one way of doing it.”

When I came out, I was dating my “best friend.” We had sleepovers every weekend. One day her mom found a love note that I gave her. That day is today and now I’m going to die because when I told my mom I wasn’t gay anymore she was relieved because she is homophobic but now she’s going to shun me ….

When I came out it was on National Coming Out Day. My friend had posted on instagram that he was number 83 on the periodic table (Bi). I then posted that I was made of Gallium (Ga) and Yttrium (Y). I got all positive comments.

When I came out to my classmates as bi in religion class both they and my religion teacher started applauding and told me I was one of the bravest students. I freaking love religion class… and I’m a bisexual atheist.
