When I Came Out

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.

When I came out to two of my best friends, one said he loved me and was proud of me for being brave especially because I live in a country where LGBTQ is illegal. My other friend just said “ok” and she hasn’t brought it up since then. Even though I haven’t told my family (super-homophobic bunch), I feel free 😀

When I came out to my mum as asexual she just kept on telling me I just haven’t found the right guy yet. She didn’t listen to me at all. Wonder what she says when she finds out I’m aromantic. My closest friends are supportive though.
