When I Came Out

When I came out, I was texting my best friend. We’ve been like brother and sister for 7 years. I told him I was bisexual and his reply took forever; it was the longest minute of my life and when I read the reply I couldn’t believe it. The text read, “We have more in common than I thought.”

When I came out to my best friend, she just looked at me first. It made me extremely anxious. But then she shrugged her shoulders, said that it won’t change anything between us, and hugged me for almost 5 minutes.

When I came out to my sister, she cried. Not because I was gay, but rather it took me so long to feel like I could tell her. I love her.

When I came out as FTM transgendered everyone got really shocked. But everyone supports me and loves me for who I am. Cause in the end I’m the same person as I’ve always been!

When I came out it was on the phone with my girlfriend. At first I used codewords so she wouldn’t understand me, but then I told her I was gay and she accepted it. I also told her the relationship was simply platonic and she said, “I love you no matter what.” We still keep in contact to this day, even.

When I came out for the first time, it was to a coach I had always been really close with. It took me a good minute of silence and deep breaths to finally blurt out “I’ve been wondering for a while… if I might be bisexual.” She was completely accepting, and really helped me calm down. I had been able to think of almost nothing else before, but all of a sudden it didn’t seem like such a big deal anymore. I’ve told one other friend, who was great, but nobody else. I don’t feel like I’m hiding though — just making sure.

When I came out, I told 3 of my best friends (all of them are girls). I had a lot of support from them. Then the news spread through the whole school just in less than a month. Every student called me “the very first brave and proud gay guy of the school.”

When I came out a couple days ago to my friend, he replied with “Thank GOD. I’ve wanted to ask that.” We’ve gotten closer and I can be completely open about my bisexuality.

When I came out, I only told four best friends. I will never tell my family until I am 18 years old. I can then move out. I am only 11 years old but I know what most teens and pre-teens feel like.

When I came out as bisexual I was 14. I had a lot of support from my friends and family. I now think I might be genderqueer. I haven’t told a soul.
