When I Came Out

When I came out to my best friend, we were on IM. I told her that I liked boys, but I was in love with a certain girl. All she said was, “Really? She’s super nice.” This whole time, my best friend was okay with it. I don’t know when I’ll come out to my family as bisexual, but this feels great for now.

When I came out, I made a joke based on a running joke my dad had. He always told me that no matter what, I wasn’t allowed to bring home a white girl (not serious, of course). So I told him, “Well, dad, I know I’m not allowed to bring home a white girl, so I got a white guy instead! Careful what you wish for!” He got a kick out of it.

When I came out, it was years ago. I told my friends that I was bi. I know say I am a pansexual, but more and more I find myself more attracted to other boys. I haven’t told my family save one brother, who doesn’t care as long as I’m happy. I plan on telling my family once I’m safely in another state at college.

When I came out, I was 14. I am a bisexual man, and I told my two best female friends, and they were both so supportive of me. Right now, I have a girlfriend who doesn’t know, and I love her with all of my heart. I plan to tell her, along with my parents, soon. I am so glad that I chose two people I really trust to tell, because they have been so incredible during this process.

When I came out… I was humiliated. I told my “best friend,” and he told the world. I’m only 15, and it seems as if everyone hates me.

When I came out, it was last week after watching the incredible, lovely Big Eden movie. I just posted on FB how much I feel close to this movie, then my sister saw and she called me and she said since when you are gay and then she smiled and that was the point. I announced myself as a gay for the first time to my sister. BTW I am an Iranian guy in the US and it took me 12-13 years to know myself and come out finally at the age of 25. I am so glad that I came to the US and came out here 🙂

When I came out a week or two ago, it was through an email to my parents. They were just like, “So?” and when I told my sister a day or two afterwards she was like, “You already told me…” which I don’t recall doing. I’m 13, by the way. My mom pretty much said, “I love you for you, but you’re too young to date anyone, girl or boy.” And that’s about it. I’m coming out to my friends soon!

When I came out it was accepted by all my family but it took a long time for me to realize and admit I was gay. But today I’m accepted by myself and by my family and friends.

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.
