When I Came Out

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 🙂

When I came out… my brother had asked me a year or so previous if I was a lesbian. He could not fathom why I was nineteen and still had never been in a relationship. I lied to him that I had been with men, but had simply chosen not to talk to him about it. A year later, I came into his room, shaking and on the verge of tears to admit the truth. His reaction was “Right on! I’m glad that you finally told me.”

When I came out my parents forbid me to see my girlfriend. She’s 18 and I’m 15 so technically it’s illegal. They are trying to make me someone I’m not and it’s suffocating me.

When I came out, I had told my friends I was bisexual. Word spread that I was a lesbian instead of bi. Then a few months later I was bullied by lesbians. My mom still doesn’t know i’m bi.

When I came out as pansexual my mom said, “I’m more surprised you are not asexual considering how much you dislike everyone. You aren’t going to cut your hair, right?”

When I came out to my mom I had been considering it for a couple minutes when my best friend texted me. I came out to her knowing she would be accepting. She convinced me to come out to my mom, who was also accepting.

When I came out it was because I had to. My best friend took my phone and went to my Instagram that no one knew I had. He started asking questions about what I posted so I told him and all my friends that we were hanging out with that I am a lesbian. They all reacted really well, even the guy that likes me, and we are all still best friends. I have yet to come out to my family because I’m afraid they will not be as accepting as my friends.
