When I came out to my sister I prepared a piece of paper with everything I wanted to tell to her about me and read it out loud. She was very accepting about both, that I‘m bisexual and that I‘m genderqueer. I gave her the chance to ask questions and named a few sources about both subjects. (NB/19/Bi)

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 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 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)

When I came out it was midnight and I walked into my mum’s room, woke her up, whispered in her ear “I am a bisexual” and went back to bed 😂 (F/14/Bisexual)
Story #2120
When I came out, it was May, I think. One of my friends recently told me she was bisexual and that made me think about my own sexuality. I knew I was bi for about 2 years and I had not shared this with anyone yet. Day after day, I encouraged myself to tell my parents. One day, while we were having lunch, I asked my parents if it mattered to them what my sexuality was. My dad said he was okay with anything as long as I was happy, but my mom said it would be kinda confusing if I liked more than 1 gender. A few minutes later, I told them I was bi. They both seemed accepting, luckily. My mom kept on talking about grandchildren, but she accepted me 🙂 (F/14/Bisexual)
Story #2116
When I came out it was because I was bi. I told my mom, my counselor, and my best friend, then some of my other friends. Next year though I started questioning my gender and I thought I was a demigirl, so I told people that. But calling myself demigirl didn’t feel right either, so I was floating in the area of “uh I have no idea what the heck I am” so I eventually settled on nonbinary. I’ve told my mom and I’m planning on coming out in the other areas of my life. (NB/Bi)
Story #2107
When I came out to my brother today, it was entirely spontaneous and unplanned. I knew he would be supportive, I wasn’t worried about that, I just hadn’t felt ready to admit it to anyone yet. I asked him if he would tell our grandparents if he dated anyone of the same gender (he’s bicurious) and he said yes. He asked me if I would; I said that I don’t think I would. He asked if there was a possibility of that happening. I shut the door and just admitted everything: “Yeah, had my first crush on a girl when I was in year 7, and I think I’ve always liked them like that”. He said he wasn’t surprised and had always wondered. We laughed about it for a minute or two and then my mom walked in so we dropped the convo. I feel confused about it all, but like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I feel proud. (F/15/Bisexual)
