When I Came Out

When I came out, it happened at school when a guy friend of mine texted me saying he wanted to tell me something. We met up at lunch and he told me he was gay. I came out as bi then; he was the first person I told. Now we text each other about sexuality related stuff all the time. I’m so glad I told him; he’s an awesome friend.

When I came out I was leaving the house for school. I’m not one for long heartfelt conversations so as I left I called out, “Bye! Oh and by the way… I’M GAY!” and then ran out of the house. Apparently my mum was like, “Are you serious?” and my brother, who already knew, replied, “Yeah”. They accepted me and now I feel so much more free!

When I came out, it was to a close friend and I just bawled before I even said anything. I told her to guess, and eventually she said it and I just nodded yes. She then started to cry because she was happy I told her and she said she didn’t care as long as I was happy.

When I came out to my family, we were having dinner and everyone suddenly became silent. I became terrified and ran upstairs but my brother followed me. He helped me get through my tears and was easy to accept it. My parents are okay with it but think I’m going through a phase, I thought I had made it obvious I was bi, but apparently not.

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.
