When I came out the first time, I was 13. I came out on social media as bi. I lost a lot of friends and people at school started bullying me. Three years later I realised that I’m gay. I’m in a new school and I’m terrified of coming out again.

When I came out it was inadvertently to my best friend. We were goofing off and I said, “What if I told you… I am gay?” And he just shrugged and said he didn’t care and we’d still be friends. I didn’t bother to mention that I had a crush on our other friend, but after how I act in front of my crush it should be pretty obvious. Now I need to seriously come out.

When I came out I was drunk at my friend’s house. We were playing truth or dare and I told him I didn’t like girls but boys. He was surprised to say the least but he didn’t support me. We still don’t talk to each other. Now I’m scared to tell my best friend. I’m pretty sure he will accept me but I’m not willing to take the chance and lose another friend.

When I came out, my mom cried. I told her over a year ago, and she started crying. She went on about how she wanted grandkids, and basically told me not to tell anyone. I’m gonna come out to her and her side of the family again soon. (M/15/Gay)

When I came out… it was actually an accident. My dad was checking through my phone and saw my notes on my phone about my concern that I was gay. They were pretty awkward about the subject for about 4 months but now it’s been a year and I feel great! (F/14/Gay)
