When I came out I was sitting in a chair at a mental hospital. I had been suicidal and got admitted. The fear of coming out was so crippling that I thought I couldn’t do it, but I did. My parents, over the phone, said nothing at first. It was awkward, and I was miserable. But when I got home things changed and now I am happily “out”. It’s not something we talk about a lot, but they know, and I know they love me still. (Demiboy/16/Gynesexual)

When I came out, I had an awesome, positive response. My super flamboyant male friend was like, “I’m bi…” right as Algebra was starting, so I couldn’t even talk to him, but afterwards, I was like, “I have a secret, too,” and I explained that I was non-binary and attracted to girls. He thought that was really cool, and now we are even closer than before! (FtNB/13/Gyneromantic/Gynesexual)
