When I came out to my best friend as bisexual, I was freaked out. I couldn’t say it out loud, so I had to write it on a piece of paper and gave it to her. She laughed at first, then told me that she already knew and that it was kinda obvious (at least to her). She has been very supportive since, and doesn’t care at all. (F/18, France)

When I came out to my best friend I was too scared to do it in person so I texted him a picture of the girl I had a crush on and said, “shes hot”. He responded with “d8?” and I proceeded by telling him how she was probably straight and how I always ended up liking straight girls. A couple weeks later he asked me if I was bisexual and I said yes.

When I came out to my brother a few months ago, we were so drunk at a club. I was dancing with a guy. He asked me if I was bisexual, and I told him, “Uh, yeah.” We went home and he cried because I didn’t tell him before. Also he said that he will never accept me as gay. I really don’t care.

When I came out to my two best friends they were super accepting and just carried on completely normal. They support me fully and are helping me coming out to my parents and others. No regrets! (M/13/Bisexual)

When I came out, it was an accident. I wrote it on the bathroom mirror to help me feel better about myself, and my mom saw it. She was supportive. (F/Bisexual)

When I came out to my best friend, she didn’t believe me. I’m very discouraged because she was the first person I came out to. She thinks I am joking. (12/Bisexual)

When I came out to my friends one of them said, “Me too” and another ran away laughing at me. Now she says, “People who like the same gender are stupid,” and another one said, “OHHHH” and the other day one of the friends I came out to went up to my new friend and said, “[My name] is bisexual” and my new friend said, “No she’s not” and laughed… (F/11/Bisexual)

When I came out, it was bisexuality awareness day of 2017 and I told my mom to guess what day it was. She couldn’t guess so I said that it’s the day that people acknowledge that I exist! We then had a talk about it, while driving to see a play, and she was super accepting, saying that she was glad I was comfortable with myself. (F/14)
Story #1504
When I came out, I was at the park with my friends (two boys, one girl) and they asked who I liked. I told them they were looking in the wrong gender, and what her name was. They got the message 🙂 (F/Bi)
