When I came out, it was on a piece of paper. I had one of my little siblings give it to my parents. My parents then had a talk with me, expressing their total support. It was so great to finally stop keeping my sexuality a secret!! (13/Pansexual)

When I came out to my boyfriend, he dumped me but then came running back minutes later. “I realized I was stupid. Um… will you go out with me again?” I laughed it off and we are still together. (F/19/Pan)

When I came out, my dad was drunk, trying to talk about what being gay is. In the process of me arguing him down I asked him, “So what do you think I am?” He said not gay. Then I replied, “Well, I’m not straight! And I can’t change that, just like how I can’t change the color of my skin.” (M/17/Pansexual)

When I came out as pansexual to my mom, I was fifteen at the time. I knew she suspected I wasn’t straight, because she would always ask me throughout my childhood. She doesn’t quite get pansexuality, but she ended up being really accepting and supportive regardless.
