When I Came Out

When I came out to my sister, I texted her and asked her to call me because I had something to tell her. She called and every time she asked what it was I drew blanks. I finally counted 1…..2…..3…. and said, “I’m gay.” She had no idea and has no problem with it!

When I came out, it was in the car with my best friend in the middle of a snowstorm… in Texas. Not only did I confess that I was a lesbian, but also that I had fallen in love with her and I knew our relationship could be nothing more than one of friends. She accepted me completely and we laughed and poured out our hearts together for the next 2 hours. It was as if a great and terrible weight was lifted from my soul.

When I came out to my friends they were all really supportive. On New Year’s Eve my mum was really supportive and two days later my dad asked me if I had a boyfriend. I feel so much better.

When I came out to my best friend, we laughed, because I had kept it so long from her, and we all started to wonder why I made it such a big deal when I was still the same person I’ve always been.

When I came out it was a surprise to both of us. My buddy (who’s like my little brother) came out as bi to me… something I somewhat always knew. When asked if I was ok with it, I replied: “You and I have more in common than I thought. Surprise!”

When I came out, I had to make sure I had enough strength to tell everyone. I first told my best friend, and she was ok with it. Then I told my mom and she was very acceptable of me proclaiming to be bi.

When I came out I was very very nervous. I did that after reading a bunch of stories here. They encouraged me to do that. I told my friend via whatapp and she first thought I was kidding. After she realised I wasn’t, she said she supported me and loved me no matter what because I am still the same person. I hope that by this story I will encourage YOU to come out to. CLOSETS ARE FOR CLOTH, WE AREN’T SHIRTS (:

When I came out to my parents yesterday, I told my dad first. I kinda mumbled, “I’m bisexual.” There was a pause. Then he goes, “What?” Then I burst into tears. He said, “You’re bi, so what?” When I told my mom, I couldn’t stop laughing (I was nervous) and she goes, “It’s just a phase,” hugs me, and walks out of the room.

When I came out as a bisexual girl, I told my friend I needed to tell her something important. When I told her, she said, “Ok. And what’s the important thing?” She was very accepting and I’m glad to get it off my chest. To anyone out there who’s struggling, tell someone you trust and be you.

When I came out, I was in my 9th grade classroom and we were all sharing our deepest secrets (school project) so when it came my turn I said, “Yep, I’m a lesbian.” They all burst out laughing, even my teacher, and apparently they all thought I was gay even before I came out.
