When I Came Out

When I came out my mom had a panic attack and said, “I just want to die.” A week later she has still not accepted anything and wants to think I am straight. She believes my friends have convinced me I am gay.

When I came out to my friend, she hugged me and said: “You’re my friend and I love you no matter what.”

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.
