When I came out to myself, it was a long process. I started having a crush on my female best friend and thought I was bi. I soon discovered pansexuality and clicked. I stayed in the closet for months before casually texting my very Christian friend that I didn’t know if I would marry a boy or a girl. We never discussed lqbtq things before so I didn’t want to include nonbinary people as well in case she didn’t know who they were. She hasn’t answered yet. If you want to come out, do it! There will always be people to support you. 🏳️🌈 (F/demigirl?/11/Pansexual/demisexual)

When I came out about questioning my gender, I was having a kinda intimate conversation with two friends (pan guy A and cishet guy C). They already knew I’m a lesbian, but now also that I’m demisexual and somewhere between girl and agender. I’m not sure yet about my gender but I’m okay with that. Paradoxically, I’m more okay with “feminine” things like wearing skirts since I know that. A understood me exactly because his trans boyfriend had similar experiences, C was confused but supportive.

When I came out to my friends, it was in 5th or 6th grade. In 4th grade, a girl came to our school. I thought she was reeaallyy pretty. She had dark brown hair, freckles, and blue green eyes. I will not name her. I told my friends I like her, and nothing really changed. They tried to “set us up”, which failed. It was adorable though. (Demigirl/13/Biromantic/asexual)

When I came out my mum was shocked. She was not accepting at first, but she’s gradually changed. Her first reaction was that she ran away into another room and cried her eyes out. I was shattered, and I hid in the closet for four years. I moved out, and I don’t speak to her very much anymore, but I’m fine with that. I have my wonderful chosen family with me, and I know that if you are struggling with this, it will all work out. Proud of you 🌈❤️ (Demigirl/19/Lesbian)
