When I came out to my two friends at school that I was bi, one accepted but the other started acting cruel. She then got me in trouble cause she said I was forcing bisexuality on to her when I wasn’t. Guess she wasn’t a real friend. (F/12)

When I came out it was to my dog. I know that sounds dumb, but it’s true. It took me courage to even tell my dog. I plan on telling my crush, who is also lesbian, sometime soon. Send good vibes! (F/12/Gay)

When I came out, I was in class one day and the teacher walked out of the room to go get something for our experiment. I just yelled out, “Hey guys, I have 83 protons!” (on the periodic table it’s bismuth or bi) and everyone kinda looked at me strange, then one kid goes, “She’s BI” and I just winked while everyone kinda stared at me. (F/14/Bi)

When I came out to all my closest friends last week as bi-asexual, they were so supportive. I feel so much more confident now, it’s like a weight off my chest, although my best friend doesn’t seem to buy it, telling me it’s not possible and that I’ll struggle to find a partner like this. It caught me off guard and upset me a bit, but I’ll be making coming out cookies for all of my friends next week, so hopefully she’ll see that it’s real. (F/15/Bi-asexual)

When I came out, it was actually at school. I was talking to my friend PJ, and some dude comes up and says, “I ship it.” So I turned around and said, “Joke’s on you, I don’t like guys.” It was an interesting rest of the day. (F/13/Polysexual)

When I came out to my friends my life changed. They accepted me fully and I feel like a huge stone was removed from my chest, like I can finally breathe. I’m planning on telling my parents next. Wish me luck! (F/12/Pansexual)
Story #1670
When I came out, I decided to call my mom and dad individually. My mom and dad were surprised. My dad seemed immediately to say, “You are my daughter and I have you in my heart.” My mom was more negative about it, but both of my parents told me that they loved me. Perhaps they will adjust more in time.

Story #1664
When I came out around two years ago, I told five people. One of them told the person I liked, my twin, and my bully. Cutting her out of my life was the best decision I’ve ever made. Still haven’t come out to the rest of my family. (F/15/Bi)
Story #1663
When I came out to my mom this morning, I made her play a guessing game until she guessed, “Do you have a girlfriend?” I stood there and smiled and she said okay, but told me I was going to change my mind someday. She also told me that there are so many people around that are part of the LGBTQ+ community around us, even our neighbors! I’m just waiting to tell my dad. (F/11/Pan)
