When I came out to my best friend it was on a Twitter DM. I had jokingly made a comment about how I would never have a boyfriend, and she responded by asking me if it was my way of telling her I was into girls. I couldn’t lie to her. Unfortunately she went on to tell me it was ok “as long as I didn’t like everybody.” (I’m bi.) I told her that and she told me it was ok, she didn’t think I was “greedy” or anything. And I think she is ok with it; we haven’t really talked about it again.

When I came out, I was at lunch just talking about how I low-key stalk people on the internet. She asked me if any of these people were girls and I said no. That’s when I told her I was bi. My whole world got brighter (literally the room lit up) and she was so accepting and loving. I still haven’t told my parents though. (M/13/Bi)

When I came out I posted a coming out song in a group chat at 3am. The next morning my friends were just like whatever, we don’t care. (F/15/Bi)

When I came out as bisexual 2 weeks ago, I told my “short time best friend” first. What I didn’t tell her is that I found out that I was definitely bi thanks to her. So yup… I’m deeply in love with my best friend and she doesn’t know. (F/20)

When I came out as bisexual to my friends, I had been worried they’d judge me. It was in science class and I had tried to casually bring it into a conversation. In the end I had managed to and I was happy with the results… until I went back the day after and the WHOLE school had found out and was questioning me on it. – RAC, 18, UK

When I came out I realized that my parents already knew. When I told my sister I finally came out, she said, “They already knew.” I was crying so nervous over my breakfast and they just said, “Okay, so how’s your toast?” Biggest relief ever. (F/16/Bi)

When I came out to my best friend, we were at school and he was asking who I liked. He said, “So your crush, did he move away?” The bell rang and I was late, so I looked at him and said, “Not a he,” then ran to class. This was about four hours ago and he hasn’t said anything. I’ve seen him twice since I told him. 🙁 (F/13/Bi)
Story #1537
When I came out to my friends, we were joking around and taking those “Are you gay?” quizzes online at lunch and when my test results said I was bisexual I sighed and said, “Well, that was a waste of time, I already knew that.” It got quiet, then all my friends congratulated me, saying it was obvious, and we went back to eating lunch.

When I came out to my parents as bisexual, their initial response was “We’re here for you but we want to pray for your healing.” That’s the saddest story ever since we all know we can’t pray the gay away. Dream on, folks. Out and proud, 27. 🙂
Story #1533
When I came out as bisexual, I got so much love and support I didn’t expect! I wrote up a Facebook post, posted it, and watched as friend after friend commented and liked it, telling me they were happy for me. It made my day.
