When I Came Out

When I came out, it was to my sister.
Me: I’m pretty sure I’m 500% homosexual.
Sister: Aight.

When I came out as asexual in my second year of college, I was in an acting class (I’m a music theatre student) and the general reaction was “Well duh, tell us something we didn’t already guess.”

When I came out to my dad I didn’t know how he would react. I was so scared on how he would take it. I came home from church and started crying. My dad came upstairs and we talked. I told him that I was bi and he said as long as I was happy it’s ok. 🙂

When I came out as lesbian to my sister I was scared. She asked me if I had a crush on anyone I said yes. She asked me about “him”. I showed her a picture of her and she hugged me and said that she will always love me.

When I came out I wrote a note to my mom and she ended up calling my dad. My mom still hates that I’m gay but my dad is super supportive and says he will always be there for me. Coming out to people is still the scariest thing for me but my dad makes it okay… and he’s trying to get my mom to come around.

When I came out, I told my best friend on Facebook. I made her try to guess what it was and it took a while but she finally said, “Are you gay?” I said yes and she said that she supported me. After that I asked her if she thought of me differently. She just said, “No, you’re just my gay best friend.” 🙂

When I came out, I was afraid to tell my parents I was lesbian. So, I told my friend. She helped me make a funny PowerPoint to give the news. My parents didn’t ask questions, and didn’t care. They still love me for me.

When I came out, well, my parents forced me out. They saw a photo on Facebook of me with my now boyfriend for a year and they knew. They called me and asked and I had to tell them. My parents told me they loved me no matter what. Even after living with this secret for 24 years it was tough. I couldn’t be happier now.

When I came out as bi I did it on Facebook. I’ve known since elementary school but never told anyone because I was afraid it was only a phase so I waited until college just to be sure. Now I’m in college and I’ve realized that I didn’t care about what people thought of me, I just wanted to be all of me so in October this year I wrote “HEY! I’m bi” as my status.

When I came out to my mom I burst out crying before I could tell her, and then told her I was bi through my tears. She told me she loved me no matter what. I’m glad to have a supportive family.
