When I Came Out

When I came out, my best friend screeched with joy, then said, “We can talk about boys together!”

When I came out to my best friend today she was not really surprised. I had a feeling I was a little obvious but she just was happy for me and I will always love her. I am a 16-year-old guy but I’m still afraid of coming out to my parents.

When I came out, I was talking to my mom about people being accepting of gays. Then, I proceeded to ask her if she knew anyone in the family that was gay. She told me my sister dated a girl when she was in 7th grade, which was new information to me. She then asked what I was. I replied with “I like girls but I am still figuring it all out.” I am a 14-year-old girl.

When I came out to my best friend, he said he loved me unconditionally. When I came out to my sister, she said she was keeping her children from me. When I came out to my mom, she ignored me. And still is doing so. I’m scared to tell anyone else that I’m trans.

When I came out, I didn’t know I was coming out. I was in 4th grade, and I told my mom, “I think this boy is cute.” This year she told me she knew I was gay. That was a bit of a shock to me. I still don’t like to talk about it.

When I came out as bi to my best friend, she said she had known all along and gave me a big hug. I felt so supported and loved. I am still afraid that my parents won’t believe me, so I am waiting until I get a girlfriend to tell them. I am a 14-year-old female.

When I came out to my best friend, his reaction was better than anyone could imagine. But when I came out to my mom she kicked me out of the house. I’m living with my girlfriend now and am waiting for my mother to accept me and to apologize. I don’t know if this is ever going to happen.

When I came out, I told my friends at school (the word spread quickly). Now most people sit as far away from me in fear of being raped. I then told my mom, who told me that she is bi.

When I came out as bi to my older brother, he hugged me and told me how proud he was of me for telling him. It felt great, and now I want to come out to more people. I’m still too scared to tell my parents. I’m a 14-year-old male.

When I came out to my parents, I did it through song. I sang them this beautiful song I had written about struggling with my sexuality for a while and I never got to finish singing it because I burst into tears. My parents were extremely accepting and I have now told most of my friends that I am bi.
