When I came out, I came out to my girlfriend. She told me she has some interests in women so the following week I told her I have some interest in men. 2 years later, we still are happily together #bi (M/25/Bi)

When I came out to my two best friends they both wholeheartedly supported me and we had the best conversation about sexuality, although they are both straight! I still haven’t told my family yet, but I know the right time will come soon, and I hope they will support me as much as my friends have! (F/18/Bisexual)

When I came out last year I was 14 and thought I was bi. But recently I realized I am a lesbian as society had made me want to be with a man even if I didn’t want to be. I’m now more comfortable within myself then I’ve ever been and I’m starting to come out again; however, I’m not planning on telling my parents I’m gay as they know I’m bi. (F/15/Lesbian)

When I came out to my father, I did a book, a notebook, and wrote a letter to him in the first page. I left it at his house and traveled back to my city. He never gave me an answer. After a couple months I asked him and he said he didn’t say anything because it was normal, he didn’t have anything to accept because he wasn’t better than me. (M/31/Gay)

When I came out I was driving in the car with my two best friends and we were talking about guys our age who we like, and I had no idea I would come out then. I said something about how I am going to ramble, because it’s just what I do when I’m nervous, and I said, “I actually am bisexual,” therefore I could list both girls and guys who I could say I’m into. They both said that’s awesome and they were honored that they were the first people I came out to, and we went on talking about how I expect each of my family members and friends to react when I do decide it’s the right time to come out to them!

When I came out, the first person I came out to was this inspirational and bisexual YouTuber I found online. We began messaging through Instagram and he was very helpful. What stuck with me the most was that he told me, “You either live your life or live to regret your life.” After him telling me this I’m starting to work on accepting myself and my sexuality. I’ve always been attracted to guys, but in middle school I started to become attracted to girls as well. I think I was always attracted to girls, but I’d always push it down because I have a Christian family. I’m still scared to tell my family, but I’m going to do it through a note soon. I don’t really know what label I want to take on, so I’m deciding to ditch them all. I’m really happy I’m not hiding myself fully though anymore. (F/Don’t know, but I’m happy)

When I came out I was 16 and my best friends accepted me and supported me, so did my sister. I haven’t told my parents yet but it might not end well. I’m just happy that I’m proud of who I am. I finally feel free. (M/16/Transgender/bisexual)

When I came out, I was 14 and my friends were all hanging out in the basement. One suggested we play truth or dare and somehow we all decided to say our sexuality out loud. My friends wanted me to be the first one, and after a lot of freaking out I said I was a lesbian. Turns out only 1 out of the 8 of us is straight! Still waiting to tell my parents. (F/16/Lesbian)

When I came out I was scared as my family were slightly homophobic. So when I came out as demi and bi, I didn’t know who was going to accept me, but they all accept me and slowly one day at a time I am telling my extended family. (F/Demi/bi)
Story #2125
When I came out…. well, I’ve only come out to one person, my closest and only friend. She is homophobic, but not as homophobic as my parents. I texted her “I have something to tell you…” A minute later, she says, “Are you bi?” And I was shocked. Then I remembered my homescreen is a bi flag. So I’m planning on coming out to my parents as demigender and bi. 💜🏳️🌈 (Demigender/11/Bi)
