When I Came Out

When I came out to my parents for the first time, I was a little bit drunk and they took it with a pinch of salt. My friends easily accepted my bisexuality, they weren’t surprised, to be honest 🙂 But as to my parents – I guess they’re still deceiving themselves that I’m straight and they’ll have lots of grandchildren in the future…

When I came out to my friend about being “confused” she then immediately came out to me about being bisexual. We’ve both only told two people ever, and in trying to give up a secret, now I’ve gained one, and it’s both rewarding and frustrating…

When I came out to my friends, a good majority of them were supportive. However, 2 or 3 of my friends were creeped out or trying to convert me to straight from my bisexual transgendered self. I still talk to them, but I do not bring up my sexuality to them anymore. I still haven’t told my parents about my boyfriend, but that’s mainly because he lives so far away that it wouldn’t make sense to tell them yet about him. I’ll tell them eventually, but I’m pretty sure since they know I’m bisexual, they won’t mind as much.

When I came out, I was 18. I only told a few people at the time, but they said they pretty much already knew. I still haven’t told my family, and I don’t know when or if I ever plan to. Overall, I’m just glad I came out to myself. Time will work everything else out. 🙂

When I came out to my mom this morning, she said she never suspected. She then said that once I live an honorable life and respect myself and others she is happy, and that she loves me because of the person I am and that will not change. I am so grateful. The relief is indescribable! She is the first person I’ve told. Now to tell the rest.

When I came out I only told six people. It was great. Half of them said, “I would have never suspected you, you have had sooooo many boyfriends.” They are all supportive, but I don’t think I’ll come out to my family anytime soon :'( for fear of rejection.

When I came out to my mother, which was about 3 days ago, she caught me by surprise and just asked. I had been meaning to tell her anyway so when she asked I told her the truth that I was. After hearing the news she told me she loves me but does not support my decision and how embarrassing and disappointed she was by the fact. Although it was hard to hear her say these things I hope that with time she will come to accept me since before I told her we were like best friends and I don’t want to lose that.

When I came out (last night), I was deathly scared. After about 8 years of hiding it, I finally told my best friend that I’m a lesbian. She was totally supportive and accepting. I am 20 years old and it feels wonderful to finally be accepting of myself!

When I came out I was 16 on the last day of school (my parents are teachers) and I had been debating for so long how and when to tell them. I felt like I just had to get that weight off me and the adrenaline of the last day of school was with me, so I texted them on my way to my friend’s house. It said, “With [my friend] and going to her house, I’m gay, not a big deal just more info about me.” I didn’t see them until later that evening and it was weird; they weren’t accepting, but they weren’t mad, just caught by a huge surprise and in shock. I don’t regret texting even though it’s kind of bad, but I never would have been able to do it any other way, I think (I may have changed the timing).

When I came out it was to a group of my four closest friends at a party. We were playing truth or dare and they asked me who I liked. I told them I was a lesbian and that I liked a certain girl. They were all really supportive; one of them even wanted to throw me a coming out party. I was 13 at the time; now I’m 15 and I’ve told my older brother. I’ve yet to tell my parents; I’m still trying to work up the courage.
