When I came out I posted a coming out song in a group chat at 3am. The next morning my friends were just like whatever, we don’t care. (F/15/Bi)

When I came out as bisexual 2 weeks ago, I told my “short time best friend” first. What I didn’t tell her is that I found out that I was definitely bi thanks to her. So yup… I’m deeply in love with my best friend and she doesn’t know. (F/20)

When I came out… my mom didn’t really believe me but now she says things like “You gotta get your grades straightened out.” And laughs and makes it a joke with me. She also saw me looking at John Cena and Nikki Bella when we were watching wrestling with my little brothers and she said, “Ooooh you want a threesome.” (F/14)

When I came out today I had been trying to tell my mom for days. I’m a 27-year-old female and have been denying my feelings for a long time. I was on a bike ride when she called and heard me crying and asked what’s wrong. I kept saying how I didn’t want her to hate me or resent me and finally I told her while I sobbed. She told me she kind of figured and was incredibly supportive. (F/27/Gay)

When I came out I realized that my parents already knew. When I told my sister I finally came out, she said, “They already knew.” I was crying so nervous over my breakfast and they just said, “Okay, so how’s your toast?” Biggest relief ever. (F/16/Bi)

When I came out, it was to my mom. She told me that “it was okay to be confused.” She then told me (with different wording) that it was a phase, and I wouldn’t be that way when I’m older. That was two years ago. (F/13/Lesbian)

When I came out my friends all told me I was a freak. I started being bullied by a girl I had a crush on; she told me I was nothing. I haven’t found any solace in this world. (F/17/Lesbian)
Story #1538
When I came out it was the beginning of the school year. I had talked to my gay uncle and bisexual best friend and decided to tell my mom and her boyfriend. I literally went out and told them I had something important to say. I just said I like girls, went back to my room, then came back out to my mom crying and my mom’s boyfriend standing there. My best friend told me tonight that my mom told him that I’m just going through a phase. (F/16/Lesbian)
