When I came out in my junior year, I got bullied and teased. I never felt like I belonged with the boys nor the girls and I just kind of sat in the middle. When I came out to my parents, they were supportive and a bit edgy. Now, I identify as non-binary for the meantime (I’m still searching up what my gender is) and I’m homoromantic.

When I came out I was texting one of my friends on Messenger. And I told them I like someone. “Is he nice?” she said. “… she” I corrected her. (Agender/14/Asexual/demi-homoromantic)

When I came out, I was talking with my friend and she asked who I liked. I refused to tell her and made her guess the name. She finally put two and two together and asked me if it was a girl and I just nodded. I was super lucky that she accepted everything and actually knew what asexuality was. (F/14/Homoromantic Asexual)

When I came out I was completely terrified. I wanted so badly for someone else to know so I pulled my friend aside during recess. I started shaking before we even sat down, and as soon as we did I burst into tears. My friend hugged my tight and asked me what’s wrong. I struggled to say the words so I wrote it down on a piece of paper. She hugged me even tighter and said that everything would be okay, and that she promised not to tell anyone because she knew that it’s my decision to make when I come out. That is one of my happiest memories. (M/12/Homoromantic)
