When I came out to my best friend it was on a Twitter DM. I had jokingly made a comment about how I would never have a boyfriend, and she responded by asking me if it was my way of telling her I was into girls. I couldn’t lie to her. Unfortunately she went on to tell me it was ok “as long as I didn’t like everybody.” (I’m bi.) I told her that and she told me it was ok, she didn’t think I was “greedy” or anything. And I think she is ok with it; we haven’t really talked about it again.

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)
