When I came out it was about a month ago to my best friends. I’ve known them since 1st grade for one and 3rd grade for the other. One of them, who is pansexual and a demigirl, was super cool about it and told me that she was happy I told her. My other friend didn’t seem to like it that much. I’ve since been talking to her less but I’m still happier than ever. (Leah, 12/Bi)

When I came out it was today at a class party and I said to 3 friends that I’m bi. One of my other friends already knew and helped me bring the news. They took it very well and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. (M/Bi)

When I came out I was outed to my mom by someone who I still don’t know and it’s a fresh story. I felt soo relieved and I felt like this huge weight left off my shoulders but at the same I was worried about my mom and told her I love her. She told me she loves me too. I hope she will be better and better about that. (Leo, 19/Bisexual)

When I came out to my mom she told me I was creepy and weird. She said I shouldn’t tell any of my family. It was the only time I ever felt ashamed of my sexuality. I was just so disgusted at my stupidity in thinking she’d accept me. (Savannah, 18/Bi)

When I came out to my best friend in 7th grade as bi she took it very well. Soon after I told the the rest of our friends. One of them told me they were bi too. I still haven’t told my family and it’s been 3 years, mainly because they are very religious. One day I hope to have the guts to tell them. (Chloe’, 15/Bi)
Story #1454
When I came out to my roommates, I asked them if they knew anyone who was homophobic. I knew they weren’t but just wanted to steer the conversation in that direction so it wouldn’t be so random when I finally told them. They said no and asked me if I knew anyone who was and I said, “I hope not because I’m bi.” I must’ve caught them off guard or said it super quietly because they asked me again, so I repeated myself. They just said, “Okay” and proceeded to talk about why McDonald’s fries are the best.
Story #1443
When I came out to my best friend she was super happy for me and told me that she was also figuring out her sexuality. I texted her that I wanted to tell her something that’s been on my mind for a few weeks and I was like, “so like I’m bi!” and she responded, “OMG YAY IM SO HAPPY YOU TOLD ME IM SO PROUD OF YOU”. Best moment of my life, since she’s my best friend ever. (F/15/Bi)
Story #1441
When I came out to my mother she made me feel very uncomfortable about it, asking personal questions about my sex life and insisting I was going through a phase. Meanwhile I was openly bi at school, flirting with both sexes, and during a talk with my friends I had discovered that one of them hadn’t caught on. So my other friend and I simply explained it to her and both are extremely accepting while mum still insists it’s a phase.
Story #1437
When I came out to my best friend, she came out to me. We were texting back and forth, and she told me that she had something to tell me but was afraid that I’d hate her. She said, “I think I may be bisexual, meaning I like boys and girls.” I texted her back, saying, “Me too.”
