When I Came Out

When I came out I was really terrified of what my friends would think, but once I said I was bi a lot of them started coming out as bi or pan etc.!

When I came out as gay to my mom today, she fully accepted me and told me that she would always love me. She’s the best!!

When I came out to my mum, her first words were “I’m so disappointed in you.” I chuckled, thinking she was kidding. She wasn’t. Over one month since then and she still hasn’t spoken to me.

When I came out earlier today, I was a nervous wreck. It was diversity day and we had to use 10 labels for ourselves, and I included “lesbian.” I was shaking when I said it the first time. Everyone was pretty accepting, I still feel like I just imagined the whole thing.

When I came out to my mum, I said, “I need to tell you something big.” She asked if it was a girl and I said, “It’s quite the opposite, I think I’m bi.” She was really supportive and said that nothing could ever change her love for me. She’s the best.

When I came out as bisexual it was backstage of a class fundraiser play thingy… My best friend was telling my other best friend about how she was bi (I already knew) and I told both of them I was too. Later that night the other best friend told us she is a lesbain and our guy BFF said he is bi too! I guess we are the queer squad! I haven’t told my parents yet though…

When I came out I was 16 and very depressed and insanely scared of my family’s reactions. They didn’t accept it and my mom didn’t talk to me for 6 months. Now I’m 19 and they’re slowly getting there, by avoiding all together.

When I came out as bi my girlfriend left me. She said couldn’t be with a guy who had been with other men, which is understandable I guess. My friends were amazing though! Some were shocked, some said they already had an idea that I was. They thanked me for telling them, said I was brave to do so, and then we went to the pub.

When I came out as bi it was to my best friend by text as I was too scared to tell her in person. She was so loving and accepting and said that she had actually suspected for a while. I haven’t told anyone else; my dad is very homophobic and doesn’t believe bisexuality is real but knowing that my friend knows and loves me for who I am is enough for now and gives me confidence that soon I’ll be able to tell others.

When I came out to my best friend, she said she was jealous of me because I could be close to the boy I love, even if he is straight. I still haven’t told him because I’m afraid our friendship will come to an end.
