When I Came Out

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 🙂

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.
