When I Came Out

When I came out to my sister it took two hours of me trying to tell her unsuccessfully before she just asked if I was gay. She said she had figured it out herself almost a year before and was completely accepting of me!

When I came out to my closest friend, she was a little apprehensive at first. A couple days later I found out that she had had a crush on me for some time, and never told me. She’s been so supportive, along with everyone else I’ve told – and finally (a full year later), today I’ve just come out to my parents. I feel over the moon.

When I came out to one of my best friends at school, I just wrote in the top of his geography book, and he wrote underneath it…
Me: Hey!
Friend: Hey
Me: Guess what?
Friend: What…
Me: I’m bi
Friend: No way!
Me: Yes way!!!
At this moment he looked at me and said, “Alright then.”

When I came out to my ex-girlfriend, who also happens to still be one of my best friends, she smiled, gave me a hug, and made a joke about the times I couldn’t get it up. I don’t know why I worried so much about telling her. I feel much better about telling other people now.

When I came out as gay to my friend on Skype, he was just like, “Dude I know a bunch of gay guys at school!” and proceeded to list them off. At age 14.

When I came out to one of my best friends and told her that I had a girlfriend she started crying. Later on in the day she told me she cried because now that she knew about me, she realised that she liked me and I was already taken.

When I came out I was 11 and my mom said I was too young to know. She knew I had crushes on boys… why was I too young for the same sex?

When I came out to my Mum she cried hysterically and went on a rant about me not producing grandchildren for her. I don’t remember anything supportive being said. It was really surprising as she is not religious and is usually pretty open minded. When I came out to my friends every single one was totally awesome and loving and funny and relaxed and honest. When I came out to the rest of my family…. to be continued when I have the courage to go there!

When I came out to my brother I told him I was going to stay at my “friend’s” house. Suddenly he just said, “Y’know you can say girlfriend” and I just stood there in shock.

When I came out, I meant to text my one friend who did know about coming out to my parents. It had to do with baking a cake and writing a coming out letter with lots of bad cake puns. I texted, “if I ever come out to my parents THAT is the way I am going.” Then I realized that I texted in a group chat with all of my friends. They were completely supportive.
