When I Came Out

When I came out, my dad’s side of the family said that because I think girls are pretty doesn’t make me bisexual. They also say they’re praying for me. They don’t understand I’m happy the way I am.

When I came out, I was with this guy, and we were talking about listening to each other or something. And I just said, “Well, since you’re listening let’s get one thing straight — I’m not…” And he said that was the best way to come out and he’s totally supportive of it!

When I came out it was to my best friend. He slapped me and was like, “Vaz, you drunk?” Ended up kissing and been dating ever since.

When I came out, it was to my parents. We were talking about plans for the summer, and the conversation nearing its end, my dad got up to leave the table we were talking at. Out of nowhere, I blurted out “Don’t leave!”, and after a few awkward moments, I told them that I was Pansexual. It was a surreal experience, but overall, I’m so glad I had such supportive parents that will stand by me no matter what.

When I came out it was really due to the Supreme Court ruling. It was the same day. It was 11:59 and I texted into the group with my close friends “in light of 50 states of gay today I need to say something before the day is up” then “HEY IM GAY” and they were all super supportive and don’t see me any differently. Next stop is the family!

When I came out, it was to one of my friends on my way to school. I had promised myself that I would tell him before we got there. We were joking around and I realized how close we were to school, so I just blurted, “I’m gay.” As soon as I said it, I panicked and played it off as joke (he didn’t believe me anyway). I’m planning to tell my friends (and my parents) next week, I just need to gather enough courage.

When I came out, all of my friends came out, too. I thought I’d be the token gay friend, but now we actually have a token straight friend.

When I came out to my friend, I tagged her on a tumblr post where you’re supposed write down your sexuality. When she saw it we were at school, and she ran away from me, screaming like crazy. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me she was bi too.

When I came out I was living in Atlanta. One Friday night I went out to Blake’s and came home with a friend. We started making out and having sex. Out comes my mother from my bedroom. She had come to surprise me for my birthday.

When I came out to my mum I just told her there was something I needed to tell her. She just guessed straight away and told me it doesn’t matter and we all love who we love. Love my mum 🙂
