When I Came Out

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.

When I came out I was 16 years old. My two best friends (a lesbian couple) noticed that I was little extra friendly to a female friend of mine (we’re now together). They finally asked me about it and I told them the truth. They were excited that I was a lesbian, as well.

When I came out my junior year of high school, I knew it was time. I was sitting at my desk in my room doing homework and talking to a friend online when she asked me, “What is actually stopping you from coming out to your family?” I thought about it for a few moments, got up from my desk, walked calmly to the living room, called a family meeting and simply said, “I’m gay, guys.” After a half hour discussion, I went peacefully back to my room to finish my work.
