When I Came Out

When I came out as bi, my mother told me I couldn’t be, because I was dating a man. She still believes that, even when I brought home women. When an ex outed me as a member of the Kink Community, she told me that officially meant she couldn’t respect me as a woman. At least my partner/Master is supportive and loving enough to fill some of the void…and goes girl-watching with me. 🙂

When I came out my mom told me, “I’d rather die than have a lesbian daughter.” Now I’m planning to move to another country with my girlfriend.

When I came out to my mom we were talking about the Cleveland Indians. I kind of just blurted it that I was a lesbian. She asked me if I was sure. I nodded; she cried; she told me she loved me no matter what.

When I came out today, my father called me a freak. That I should try to be normal. That I’m too far gone. I don’t know what to do anymore.

When I came out to my father, he shrugged because it wasn’t a big deal to him. When I came out to my mother, she started screaming, crying, and hitting herself; she had to smoke a joint in front of me to calm down. Later on, she accused my father of being intolerant of me, despite her being the one saying I’m confused and screwed up. I don’t really talk to her anymore.

When I came out I was 16 and I didn’t plan to come out to my parents. They were very angry and disappointed and they thought that I’m sick and that someone has convinced me that I am a lesbian. We argued about everything and they said that they will never accept me. Now I need to “live” like I’m straight until I can move out and start to live alone.

When I came out today, I did it on Facebook. I was expecting the worst, but I just had to get it out there and Facebook was a good way to just let everyone I know know. I surprisingly got a ton of love and support back and tons of encouraging messages from my friends and family. It was a very very good day today. I’m so glad I did it.

When I came out I told my mum I was sexually attracted to girls and cried. She laughed and shrugged and hugged me, and whispered that she used to masturbate over Madonna. Eww.

When I came out, I actually had a forced coming out. My dad was checking my mobile and found a couple of messages that left very little room for explanation. He didn’t do anything stupid or bad. He bottled it all up inside himself and two years later, even now, he still is passive aggressive towards EVERYTHING I do.

When I came out my friends just said: “Told you so!”
