When I came out I didn’t want to hide it anymore with my mom. Unfortunately, I’m 24 and live with her but I knew I didn’t want to hide my girlfriend anymore. I am proud of my girl and our relationship. Long story short, I decided to immediately search for a new place to live and am moving in with my girlfriend in a month. I am the happiest I’ve ever been and am so excited to live with the love of my life and start out next chapter together; my mom will come around in time I hope. (JB, Bi)

When I finally came out to my mum about 2 hours ago, she seemed somewhat accepting but a bit funny about it. I know no one else from my family or school who is (openly) from the LGBTQ+ community so this was a big step for me. But I’m glad to have finally gotten it off my shoulders. (F/15/Bi)

When I came out as bisexual to my two best friends, I texted them and that’s the only way I could do it. They automatically explained that no matter what they will always love me. It went so well and even though my parents don’t know, it feels great to let my two closest friends know and have people who accept me for me 100%. (F/Bi)

When I came out to my mom I started crying so hard she thought I’d been raped and was afraid to tell her, so when she knew what was really going on she was relieved and said, “Really? that’s it? Why would I care LOL”. I love her. (F/17/Bisexual)

When I came out to my best friend, I told him, “I’ve got something to tell you…” and he immediately asked me, “You’re bi?!” and when I said “yes” he laughed and said, “OK, bro, can you give me the camera please?”
Story #1487
When I came out to my best friend as bisexual she told me that I wasn’t and that I was just confused and scared of being bi because my parents don’t believe that bisexual is a thing. I don’t think I will ever come out again. (F/14/Bi)
Story #1485
When I came out, a girl kept asking me which boy I liked. She kept asking. I said none. She asked if i was bi and I hesitantly said yes. Then she literally named the whole class to ask. Lol.

When I came out to my best friends, they all had different reactions: One said it was a phase, another was completely surprised, and the other, boy, she asked a lot of questions, but they were pretty happy with having a bi friend, so yay!

When I came out as bi to my best friend today, I was super nervous. But once I did he was just like, oh cool. So I feel good, really good now! 😄 (13/Bisexual)
