When I came out to my friend over the phone I said, “I like boys, and girls” to which she replied, “Oh my gosh same” and I did a double take. Coming out to my other friend was hard because first I actually needed to get her attention, then I said, “[Friend], I’m bi” and she said, “Wait, say that again” so I said it again and she was happy and jumping around, then I told her I was genderfluid. At another place I was talking with three or four people and one said, “I don’t think I know anyone who is bi” so I had to say, “Now you have!” I say that I’m bi and genderfluid because it is SO much easier to understand than saying that I might be this or that or both or something. Anyway, continue being your queer/ally self and show that closet who is boss. (NB/genderfluid/androgynous/gender is confusing/13/Biromantic/panromantic/demiromantic/akoiromantic/ace)

When I came out to my mom I was 14. I told her that I like girls but I am still confused about my sexuality. She said she will always love me and it doesn’t matter if I like a girl or a guy. After that I told her that my “BFF” is my girlfriend. She said, “I thought so.” I am so happy. A weight has been lifted off my chest. (F/14)

When I came out, I came out on my 15th birthday on 12/25/16 to several of my cousins and my one sister. I ended up learning one was lesbian and another was bisexual. They were all very supportive, but I’m not going to tell my parents or classmates yet. I came out as lesbian and aromantic, but honestly I am still lost and confused in the asexuality spectrum.
Story #1340
When I came out I told my closest friends I have a girlfriend. My family still doesn’t know and I’m too afraid to tell them because I’m still not 100% sure my orientation. I can’t imagine being sexually involved with most females, or males. I have had sex with a couple guys and I didn’t get that “woo” factor. I have had sex with my girlfriend and I love giving to her. But again I can’t imagine sexual encounters with women either. (F/20/Confused)
