When I Came Out

When I came out to my best friend I was shaking like crazy. After about 20 minutes of staring at the words “I’m gay” that I typed on my phone, I pressed send. She was very accepting like I knew she would be; that’s why I came out to her. But still I haven’t come out to anyone else because I’m afraid of how they’ll react.

When I came out as transgender to my best friend, she was extremely supportive. She started calling me my female name and referring to me as a girl. Word got around school; I get and still get bullied for being transgender as well as gay. I told my parents and they are not really supportive. Oh well, at least I have my friends.

When I came out, the only support was from my best friend. Then I told some other friends and some were not as supportive. Word got around and I got bullied and bottles that said “fag” thrown at me. No matter though, I have the support of those who truly do matter.

I came out to my best friend when I was 14 as bisexual. She took it pretty well because after I said my huge speech she looked at me and instantly hugged me. I didn’t need to come out to my parents, I just brought home my girlfriend and that was it.

When I came out I was 12. No one supported me and I went back into the closet. It was a bad time for me; I was suicidal and stuff. I came out to the doctors after my 11th suicide attempt. I later told my friends and family, who were so supportive, and I’m a proud lesbian now turning 16.

When I came out, I first told my best friends. They were accepting and a few years later encouraged me to tell my parents. My mom walked away and didn’t talk to me for two weeks. My dad hugged me while I cried because my mom walked away. Now everyone goes around pretending I didn’t come out. Makes for some awkward moments.

When I came out, I had a super bad hangover and the guy I liked took care of me that morning. He told me I looked cute when I’m tired, so I told him he looked cute all the time and now we’re together.

When I came out I told the guy I was into that I liked him that way. He got pretty angry at me and didn’t speak to me for a while until today. He called me and told me that he secretly liked me too and didn’t know how to tell me before. I don’t know if I can tell my parents just yet but I’m going to tell me mates about my… first boyfriend.

When I came out it was first to a lesbian friend I had, who was really supportive. I wanted to come out more, and to someone my own sex, so two nights ago I came out to my best friend. He was super cool with it and I never expected it. Now to tell the rest of the world.

When I came out, everyone was accepting. All my friends and family were fine with it. Now, after a few months have passed, nothing has changed in my life; I am still miserable and alone.
