When I came out to my best friend she was super happy for me and told me that she was also figuring out her sexuality. I texted her that I wanted to tell her something that’s been on my mind for a few weeks and I was like, “so like I’m bi!” and she responded, “OMG YAY IM SO HAPPY YOU TOLD ME IM SO PROUD OF YOU”. Best moment of my life, since she’s my best friend ever. (F/15/Bi)

When I came out was yesterday at a party. I had come out to my close friends, but that’s all. Yesterday we were at a party and I was really, really drunk and when I saw the girl I like I yelled, “I want to f*ck you!” Then people started asking me if I was a lesbian and I just said yes.

When I came out it was first to one of my best friends who funny enough I made through our mutual love for Dan and Phil. Funny enough she came out as bi to me and I came out as lesbian to her. I used to have a crush on her but I got over it when she said she more into guys then girls. I now have a very loving girlfriend who I can’t wait to meet (sadly we are long distance ;-;) (F/14/Lesbian, she/her, you can call me jay)

When I came out on my Snapchat story for National Coming Out Day, I only thought my friends would see. Turns out, I forgot to block my cousin from seeing it, and she found out. I told her not to tell anyone in my family, and I was extremely shocked and surprised at her acceptance for me, since she’s Catholic, and I thought all Catholics condemned homosexuality. She told me that if I wasn’t ready to tell my family, that I should take it off my story, because “Social media travels fast.” I have no idea how many friends saw the post before I took it down, but I’m ready to come out again if I need to.

When I came out as a lesbian my mom asked me if it was because of peer pressure. It’s been almost two years and she hasn’t talked about it since.

When I came out to my mom I was 15 and she said, “At least I know you won’t get pregnant soon.” Then she told me she wanted to meet my girlfriend.
Story #1428
When I came out, it was May 2015 and I was on holiday with my mother in the St. Kitts. We went to a restaurant together and a female waitress appeared to like me. My mother said the waitress has no chance, as I’m straight and have a boyfriend. I said, “She’s right, the waitress has no chance because I love my boyfriend, but I’m not straight.” My mother looked shocked and confused. I wanted to put her mind at ease. I simply stated that I was “pansexual” and wasn’t with my boyfriend because he’a a man, I was with him because I love who he is as a person. She didn’t comment further and appears to accept it.
Story #1427
When I came out it was to my boyfriend of eight and a half years. I told him I’m pansexual. He accepts this and it doesn’t affect our relationship, because we love each other. I felt obliged to be honest to myself and him — that’s why I told him. The funny fact about it is — I only realised I was pansexual two and a half years ago. It was during an introspective moment with myself lol I have these moments often 🙂 I realised I love my partner, not because he’s a man – but because of his personality, temperament, humour, strong moral values and good nature 🙂

When I came out to one of my friends, she told me she had liked me for a while. I told her the same thing back! And now we’re dating. ❤ (F/Bi)
Story #1423
When I came out, it was one of the most emotional times of my life. I was 13, and I was hanging out with my mom in my room and she saw my self-harm scars. After repeatedly and worriedly asking why, I gathered the courage and told her I thought I was lesbian. I started crying, then she started crying; it was a big mess overall. But in the end, my mother and I had created a bond no other two human beings could share. We’re closer than ever now, and I don’t regret a single bit of it.
