When I came out, I did it to change the subject when my parents were grilling me because they found my weed. It worked. Now they forgot about the weed and are being awkward/rude about me being a lesbian. Yay me? (15/Lesbian)

When I came out, it was to my best friend. She told me her brother was gay, so it was okay. Now, I’m a 14-year-old teenage lesbian in a relationship with my best friend, and everyone in my friend circle has some attraction for the same sex.

When I came out, I just got home from school. A friend had asked me if I was gay, because I never talk about cute boys. I answered, “Yes.” So I opened the kitchen door and went like, “Hey, mom! I just told a girl I am a lesbian.” Her reaction made me realize that I hadn’t come out to her yet, which I thought I had. Her reaction was good though. (16)
