How did you guys come out?
im bi
with my friends it was easy i just let them know and they took some time to accept it and stop seeing me and being in love with every girl ive ever laid my eyes on but,,,,,,, i stopped being friends with a lot of them and with my current group i cant remember a time when i wasnt out.
as for my family, i just told my sister i was dating a girl she thought was my friend and she asked for all the details as sisters do. shes probably always known i was gay. with my mum it was more like, my girlfriend told her parents and they freaked out and she was gonna stay with me but her parents demanded that either i tell my mum or they do. so i told her the reason my "friend" got kicked out was because i was dating her. she said theres worse things i could be and hugged me and took my sister, me and my girlfriend on a roadtrip so id stop being so upset.
i wish i wasnt forced to come out to my mum because i never thought id have to come out to her id just bring a girl home one day and thatd be that. but its whatever, i still cry a little when i think about how much pain i went through that day. i wish id let them tell her because shed totally have sided with me.
I was talking about my gay friend with my mom while she was driving and I thought "well it's now or never", so we started talking about how most men are stupid (lol) and I said "yeah that's why I don't really like them, women are better" and she was "eH¿", so I explained how I discovered I was demisexual and it's meaning. Then she said "lol then I...... reply
I’m also bisexual. However, I’ve never fully come out to my loved ones and friends. I’ve only come out to a few close friends, but have yet to come out to my family. I don’t think I can ever see myself come out to my family. It was easy for me to come out to my close friends, though. The way I came out to them was like this, every time they...... reply
When I came out to my friends it wasn't a big deal, most of them were lgbtq+ and those who weren't were very accepting. There was only one friend who wasn't very accepting, but I knew that before hand and was prepared for her reaction. She didn't understand and slowly stop talking to me, but thankfully she was never cruel or mean about it. My mothe...... 1 reply
bi girl here. i've been out since 8th grade, when i came out to my mom. that's when i figured out i liked girls, but i'm pretty sure i'd been suppressing it for longer than that. i couldn't say it out loud bc i was crying so hard so i wrote it on a post it note. i don't remember how i came out to my dad but it was pretty soon after. they were both ...... reply
Funny-ish story: I'm bi
In 9th grade me and my friends were talking about exes and I said my ex girlfriends name and they all gasped. Just so everyone knows my friends are mostly apart of the lgbt community. I was so confused and so were they. My wifey asked me since when and I just stared at her for a minute. I swear I thought I told them before. ...... reply
I don't know if this is technically coming out but....when I was 5th grade, during outdoors P.E. I told a friend I had that I like liked a girl in our class, at this time I thought I could trust her and everything would be cool and shit. A few days later, she told our other friend about the girl I had a strong liking for, she was just fine with it...... reply
First time (coming out as 'gay', 16, now I know I'm gay for all genders): Friend-wise, said that guys kissing is hotter than straight people kissing. Family-wise, emailed my parents and let them tell extended family.
Second time (coming out as asexual, ~18): friend-wise just mentioned it many times. Family-wise, my brother told my dad and I said '...... reply
I'm pan-
I first came ou to my friends but somehow they thought i was bi due to the way I act lmfao-
I didn't think it was that big of a deal since my friends never really cared-
I came out to my family but first was my sister since she is trans and she wouldn't really care-
then I came out to my parents and they were so damn proud but they don...... reply
I simply told my family that I had came out just a bit gayer than expected. My mom was completely supportive seeing as she's a bisexual herself. My dad on the other hand threw a bit of a tantrum. All of my friends were totally fine with it because almost all of them are gay or trans or just super cool people in general. I was actually super lucky. ...... reply
i've never made a big deal out of it, yk? not that im saying coming out isn't a very gruelling experience for some or invalidating anyone's experiences - but for me, i mostly let people figure it out? i think the only people i've ever ACTUALLY come out to is my sister and my ex girlfriend before we started dating and a couple of friends i met on a ...... reply
