When I Came Out

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.

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.
