When I came out, it was… awkward. My parents had looked through my phone and saw that I was dating a girl (I’m AFAB) and my mom was very unsupportive and treated me like a little wh0r3. (I was twelve.) My father was somewhat better about it, and I am now FTM and use he/him. I am also abrosexual, lithrosexual, and demiro. (FtM/13/Abrosexual)

When I came out to my parents, it made me realize a lot. I didn’t get the choice to come out on my own terms, as they found out on their own and I was forced to come out. I felt pretty heartbroken when they responded with disgust and disbelief, almost like it was phenomenon. After that they just ignored who I was and it was just pretty awkward after that. I wish it ended up differently but it made realize that I should accept myself because that’s who I am. Do not let people dictate on who you are. Be yourself. (Non-binar/transmasc/13/Abrosexual)

When I came out, a few of my friends and I were chatting away in study hall. One of my friends said that we should play a blooket, which is this educational and kid-version of Kahoot. We all played it and got bored of it after ten minutes. After that, we played Spill the Tea, which is me and my friend’s version of secret spilling. When it was my turn, I told my friends I was abrosexual and I was questioning my gender. My friends squealed and hugged me and supported me, while this group of Christian football players insulted me and called me a disgrace to God. I started to cry when my best friend, who was lesbian, started shouting at them. Ever since then, I had a minor condition of anxiety issues, but now I’m happy with the way I am. Also, I now identify as a demiboy but who knows what’ll happen next! (Demiboy/14/Abrosexual)

When I came out I was 9 years old. I knew I was a girl so I came out to my best friend, who supported me. I haven’t come out at abro or aceflux yet, but I really hope everybody upports me when I do! (MTF/10/Abro/aceflux)
Story #2407
When I came out I was in the kitchen with my mom. I had already told my two best friends. My mom said it looked like I did something, so I decided to tell her then even though I was going to tell her in the car (while she was parked, of course). I told her I was genderfluid and abrosexual, and she said she accepted me. She did say that at first people question their sexuality and mine might change. She said my grandparents won’t accept me very well and my dad would freak out but he was on a trip. I asked her if I could cut my hair really short (because my hair is below my shoulders) and she kept making sure it’s what I wanted. I also asked for a flag. She said the change from she/her to they/them would be difficult but she will try. (Genderfluid/13/Abrosexual)
Story #2303
When I came out it was to a stranger online. I had been questioning my sexuality and gender for a while. I had no idea what being gay was at all; I didn’t understand it. I was explained what it was with a stranger online on Discord. It was eye opening and honestly I’m so thankful to that stranger. I had first thought I was bi but turns out I’m abrosexual and genderfluid. (Genderfluid/Abrosexual)

When I came out it was to my best friend. She was completely fine with it and then she came out a biromantic to me right after! (F/13/Abrosexual)
