When I came out, I was at the park with my friends (two boys, one girl) and they asked who I liked. I told them they were looking in the wrong gender, and what her name was. They got the message 🙂 (F/Bi)

When I came out I didn’t want to hide it anymore with my mom. Unfortunately, I’m 24 and live with her but I knew I didn’t want to hide my girlfriend anymore. I am proud of my girl and our relationship. Long story short, I decided to immediately search for a new place to live and am moving in with my girlfriend in a month. I am the happiest I’ve ever been and am so excited to live with the love of my life and start out next chapter together; my mom will come around in time I hope. (JB, Bi)

When I finally came out to my mum about 2 hours ago, she seemed somewhat accepting but a bit funny about it. I know no one else from my family or school who is (openly) from the LGBTQ+ community so this was a big step for me. But I’m glad to have finally gotten it off my shoulders. (F/15/Bi)
Story #1500
When I came out as bisexual to my two best friends, I texted them and that’s the only way I could do it. They automatically explained that no matter what they will always love me. It went so well and even though my parents don’t know, it feels great to let my two closest friends know and have people who accept me for me 100%. (F/Bi)

Story #1495
When I came out to the first person at my new school, it was to a guy who was texting me and thought I was pretty. I had to tell him that I was into girls so that it didn’t seem like I was leading him on. It was all super stressful but he was pretty chill about it. I still feel bad though cause he was gonna ask me out to the movies. 😕 (F/15/Lesbian)

When I came out to my mom I started crying so hard she thought I’d been raped and was afraid to tell her, so when she knew what was really going on she was relieved and said, “Really? that’s it? Why would I care LOL”. I love her. (F/17/Bisexual)
Story #1489
When I came out to my best friend, She said that it “makes me uncomfortable and I don’t want to talk about it anymore.” So I said, “I’m fine with that, but you can’t talk about your love life ever again either.” We are merely acquaintances now and I’ve never been happier. (F/14/Pansexual)
Story #1487
When I came out to my best friend as bisexual she told me that I wasn’t and that I was just confused and scared of being bi because my parents don’t believe that bisexual is a thing. I don’t think I will ever come out again. (F/14/Bi)
Story #1486
When I came out to my teacher, it was just the best moment in my life. She had to guess what’s up and when she got it, I started crying and she hugged me immediately and told me that everything’s alright. All of that was about 2 1/2 years ago and she still supports me so much, because I haven’t told anyone else yet. I am so glad that I told her, because I couldn’t ask for better support!! (F/16/Gay)
