When I Came Out

When I came out to my gay friend as bisexual…

Him: My gaydar is strong today. I can sense it from your direction.

Me: Well, you’re not wrong.

When I came out, my boyfriend encouraged me to. When he came out to me he told me that he had a huge crush on me. I agreed to go out with him as long as he wouldn’t tell anyone that I am gay. I came out to my family and friends, and they were so supportive of me. I even told them about my boyfriend. I asked them, “What did you think I was doing with him?” They said, “Oh honey, we have known that you are gay for a long time.”

When I came out to my best friend, she was KIND OF against gay people, and when I told her I was bi, she immediately thought I liked her, as did my other friends who were girls. *sigh* I had a girlfriend at the time…

When I came out, I asked my best friend, “What do you think about lesbians?” and she told me “They are the most amazing people in the entire world. I think that anyone in LGBT community are amazing.” (I have another friend that is gay, so she knows all about LGBT.) I asked unsurely, “Would you like another lesbian friend?” She looked at me straight (no pun intended) in the eyes and said, “Is this your way of coming out? Because I already knew.” After that everyone was loving and accepting of who I am. I even have a girlfriend now.

When I came out, I came out to my entire school at once. I didn’t want to have to constantly tell people that I’m a lesbian. I did it at a talent show. I went up to the mic and said, “My talent is being a lesbian, thank you.” Everyone stood up and clapped for me. The girl I had been crushing on later came up to me, hugged me, and asked me out. She is now my girlfriend of 6 months.

When I came out, my mother resented me. She told me I was going to Hell. Forced me to do gay counseling, join the Airforce, and quit my jobs. I couldn’t take it anymore. I told her that I am who I am and she kicked me out. Today I am living my life the best positive way despite her actions toward me. Love for all.

When I came out it was to two of my best friends. It took me two hours (after the first two weeks of attempting to) to finally tell them I’m bisexual and after I said it they both hugged me and told me they had known for months… Goes to show how well I was hiding it hahaha

When I came out to my best friend, he asked me which girls I found attractive in the particular bar we were in. I said, “I prefer blokes” to which he replied, “That’s awesome!” and then bought me two Jäger bombs. To this day he is still my best friend. I live with him, work with him, and wingman him in the same bar we originally went to.

When I came out, I was hanging out with one of my best guy friends. He is gay, and I was the first person he came out to. I had known that I was a lesbian for about a year now, and I knew that I needed to tell him ASAP, but I just couldn’t do it. When I told him he said, “Tell me something I don’t already know.” He later helped me and my girlfriend get together. I could not be any happier.

When I came out I told my best friend over text and basically sent this massive paragraph (wasn’t really necessary) and she just replied saying how proud she is of me and that nothing will ever change. I’m 13.
