When I Came Out

When I came out, I talked to my best friends first. They were almost all supportive, albeit surprised. My family was next. My mom’s side was proud of me for being brave and telling them. My dad’s side is bi phobic and is trying to convince me to stop lying and vying for attention.

When I came out, I was hanging out with a friend. She said all of her checking out guys would “make me gay”. I replied, “You know I’m bisexual, right?” She said, “So am I.”

When I came out to one of my friends, she simply said it makes me even cooler.

When I came out to my best friend in January 2015, he was the first person I ever told and I was reaalllyy nervous. I texted him asking if I could tell him something and as soon as he said yes, I typed “I’m pretty sure I’m gay” and he answered with “I know. I’m not completely blind lol” and we went out for ice cream! (:

When I came out, I told my best friend tonight in the middle of a movie. I just paused it, and told her I had something I wanted to tell her. We both instantly started crying, and we talked for almost an hour and a half. It was so awesome being able to tell someone for the first time and take this weight off of my shoulders!!

When I came out… I was terrified. I was with my friend all day and I was thinking of when and how to tell her. Finally, I decided I would tell her when I was leaving her house. It was so scary, and my heart was pounding, but I said it really quickly, explaining how she was my best friend and I trusted her so much. It was was a little awkward, but she was supportive, and I’m really glad. At first I kind of regretted it, but after a few days it felt so good to have someone know.

When I came out to my parents it was terrifying. My mom got really quiet on me and asked me a few questions but said she loved me. My dad said he knew and kind of made me try to feel stupid for telling him. He told me I should’ve kept it to myself :-\. I’m glad I had the nuts to be honest with myself and my family though. They said they love me and that’s all I can ask for.

When I came out… Well, that was about an hour ago! I came out to my mom (she is the first person to know) and she was completely fine with it. She already thought I might be a lesbian, because I never talked about boys and stuff and said she didn’t mind at all. I am so happy and relieved right now!

When I came out I didn’t do it openly. I was hanging out with my friends and an extremely attractive male walked by and I simply said, “I would climb him like a tree.” My friends all looked at me and one of them asked, “So is this a thing now?” and I said, “Yeah” and then we just went on talking about school.

When I came out to my friend he was surprised but totally accepting, but he was concerned about how his parents would react. Turns out a while later he called them drunk off his a** one night and blurted it out. They took it well and I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe when he told me about how he told them.
