When I came out as bisexual in school, everyone saw me as a different person. Some of them started ignoring me and some of them started giving me sympathy as if it’s a bad thing. My best friends and close friends supported me even though some of them said that I am definitely straight and it’s just because I am in my teenage years. I have yet to come out to my parents because I don’t know how to tell them. They will be extra supportive one moment and not supportive at all at another. I live in a country where people who don’t fit in according to the societal norms are made vulnerable. I just came out this year and have already experienced a lot of homophobia.

When I came out…. well, I’ve only come out to one person, my closest and only friend. She is homophobic, but not as homophobic as my parents. I texted her “I have something to tell you…” A minute later, she says, “Are you bi?” And I was shocked. Then I remembered my homescreen is a bi flag. So I’m planning on coming out to my parents as demigender and bi. 💜🏳️🌈 (Demigender/11/Bi)
