Grandma; Who’s this on your relationship status?
me; .. that’s my girlfriend..
Grandma; You never told me you were gay kayla.
me; you never asked so i didn’t think it was important.

Nobody knew and everyone thought i was a slag for guys (I still dont know why) anyway me and my family all decided to go for a meal because my incredibly religious grandparents were visiting. My brother stood up and said ” everyone, stacie likes vagina” I went bright red and ran out. I then told everyone close to...

How I came out to my sister
I think I knew I was bisexual for a while, but it took me time to piece it together because for me, I never really liked people. Crushes don’t happen very easily with me since I guess I’m a more logic over impulse person. Anyway, I asked her questions and stuff in the beginning of my high school career, because my sister was very close with me and someone I could always go to for...

I Crashed the Car
So I’m pretty open about my sexuality ever since I was outed by my friends in secondary school when they read some texts between me and a girl I was seeing at the time. I won’t shove the fact down anyone’s throat, but if they ask or a subject comes up to do with it, I’ll tell pretty much whoever that I’m bi. Telling my parents on the other hand was a little difficult...

Coming out as Bi to my best friend
I’ve know that I’m Bisexual since 2010 and sometime during 2011 (I can’t remember exactly when) I wrote on my Facebook status that I’m bi.. Some people liked and I didn’t really think about it I just thought everyone would know then. I also came out on my blog and twitter. Anyway this story is about when I came out to my friend.
Today the 31/1 2012 I texted my...

That Awkward Moment When...
I was still unsure about my sexual preference around this time, so I’m not sure if this counts as a legitimate outing. I was walking to class with a friend, talking about this guy I was being intimate with at the club the previous night, saying that he was a little androgynous but I still kind of liked him. Thinking that my friend knew about my questioning I joked, “Now if only I could...

Better Than Expected
I went to Arizona last year to visit my brother and sister. I’d been thinking that I should probably tell them for months beforehand, but I was more than a little worried about how they’d react. (The three of us haven’t had the best experiences with the term “Bisexual”)
We were out for a drive and had stopped at a gas station to fill up and for my brother to buy been when my brother saw one of...

Telling the brother...
So, my dad came out when I was in grade 10, my brother was 19. At the time I was a raging Christian homophobe, of the bible thumping variety, and needless to say things got ugly.
Two years later, after attending a Christian liberal arts college, I realized that being gay was A-OK thanks to a radical Theology prof. Anywho, many tearful facebook messages and heartfelt apologies later, my dad and I...

The Immortal Highlander
One night my parents and I were watching Highlander on Netflix when, lo and behold, Duncan McCloud was suddenly shirtless. Again. So, as usual, I squinted my eyes shut and made a face until it was over, which made my dad tease me a bit about boys and whatnot. And I felt this weird little urge to say something so…
Me: I’m pretty sure I’m gay.
Dad: (laughs) Like we didn’t...

Im 12 years old, i figured out about last year that i’m BI
I spent about a month trying to figure out the right way and the right time to tell my mom and dad.
I told my gay uncle last night because I knew he would accept me.
I didn’t exactly know how to tell them in person so I left them a note in their bathroom saying this-
dear mom and dad, i love you guys so much, through our...

Coming Out
Looking back, I knew I was gay for a long time. I didn’t really come to terms with it and accept it on my own until Sophomore year of high school. I never told anyone, family or friends, because I was deathly afraid of being rejected or something worse. I came out to my best friend, and she was totally indifferent yet supportive, and while that was a positive experience I was still far to...

I don’t really know why I’m writing this, haha, I’m listening to a particularly saddening song right now, thinking about life and such, crying my eyes out over a stupid comic I don’t even like that much and will probably forget about.
It’s eight a.m., because I live in Asia, and I’ve been up all night, so my memory probably won’t be very reliable. And...

Not Entirely Surprising
I waited until I was absolutely certain that I was a lesbian before I chose to come out. I was hardly having doubts, but I guess that was the excuse I used whenever I chickened out. However, when I found that I couldn’t watch episodes of Castle without falling in love with Beckett every single time her face showed up, I decided maybe it was time.
My family is a pretty close-knit bunch, and...

I was really worried about telling my ex-boyfriend (who was also one of my best friends) that I was gay. I thought he’d think that he had something to do with it or not believe me because I went out with him but when I told him he just said ‘I know. You’re not exactly subtle, are you?’ I refrained from saying ‘Well, you didn’t notice when I had my tongue down...

Chillin' in the doorway
I haven’t really come out of the closet yet, most of my friends and my brother know, but my parents don’t know. And I don’t plan on telling them until after high school. My best friend says I’m chilling in the doorway.
Anyways I came out to one of my friends today, unintenionally really. We were talking about past relationships and I said “Oh my last girlfriend was...

Coming out to my sister
Coming out to my sister was good.
Me: I need to tell you something big.
Sister: Okay, go on.
Me: I’m bisexual.
Sister: Oh okay! So who do you like?
She also told me she’ll love me no matter what and commented on the love I’ve got for Logan Lerman.
She might be a plonker sometimes and we might fight, but she really is a treasure to have.

When I came out to my mother, it was pretty anticlimatic. I was about fourteen years old and had discovered that I had a crush on a girl, and subsequently discovered that I was in fact attracted to girls as well as boys. At that time, I figured that I was bisexual (I have since redefined myself as pansexual) and since I was raised quite liberally, it wasn’t much of a deal for me, except for...

Coming out twice.
I first came out to my mum when I was 14. At this point, I was in a state of complete confusion; I was certain I liked men but thought I may be bisexual or at least didn’t rule out women. Although this confusion persisted for a couple of years, I still think it was almost an excuse so as not to accept that I was gay. I have now come to terms with my sexuality, and if I have to classify myself, I...

Hi, I'm bisexy and I know it.
I first came out to my brother while walking the dog together, just cause it was natural, and I assumed he already knew anyway, but yeah. Were really close, so I felt comfortable with it.
Then I was on the phone to a close friend, and I mentioned a hook up at a party with a girl, and it was like
“you’re bi?”
“well, yeah. I thought you’d have caught on by...

My favorite coming-out moment was over this past summer.
There was this boy I was friends with, we’d been hanging out and talking about math and minecraft and such. We had started this thing where we’d make that’s-what-she-said jokes out of everything we said to each other. It went on for a few days, and then one day we were walking to lunch together and he points to this boy...

I suppose there isn’t a defining moment when I came out to my parents. It happened at different times for each of them (I have four since my parents divorced and remarried different people while I was very young). It wasn’t necessarily a ‘coming out’ either. I was never in the closet to begin with.
Rather than have a big, teary confession, I simply stated that I thought an...

This might be a bit of a weird coming out story, because it is about me coming out to God and hir’s reaction. (I am pretty strict on the don’t-create-yourself-an-image-of-God rule with myself and assigning a gender seems to be a pretty strong making-of-an-image to me, so you’ll have to deal with invented pronouns. My apologies if that makes it harder to read.)

My Coming Out Story
How I Came Out to Myself
It was sixth grade. I was walking through the halls right before I went to lunch, and I saw this girl. She was an eighth grader at the time, but I just couldn’t keep my little sixth grade eyes off of her. She was completely stunning, and every time I saw her I couldn’t form my words correctly, I got the biggest butterflies, and I just could...

The first time I came out as pansexual was to one of my many best friends via msn, she was cool about it, the second time I wrote and ask to another dear friend here on Tumblr and after she pretty much said “wathever” I came out to all of my followers.
I have a friend I’ve known for almost 15 year (I was 10 months old when we met) and I sent him the post I used to came out...

How I Came Out:
It all started when I got close to these two boys. One of them was bisexual also and I got quite close to him. He’d always talk about the guys he likes to me because obviously he thought that I was straight. A few months after we had become extremely close, he asked me. He asked me if I was bisexual, I felt so uncomfortable and simply said “no” to him, he repeatedly asked if I...

It's Complicted
I had always had the feeling I liked girls, but it didn’t start surfacing until 8th grade. I talked about it with a couple friends… I didn’t “come out” but I told them that I was kind of confused. It just felt nice to get it off my chest.
My parents had always been fairly gay-friendly, until they found out I liked another girl (and that she liked me). They told me...

Hi everyone, i’m Josh, i’m an 18 year old Theatre Arts major living in New York. It’s nice to meet all of you! I guess I’m hear to talk about my coming out story.

I found myself attracted...

“Coming Out” was never really a thing to me. Being pansexual isn’t something important I need to tell people. If you’re going to judge me on it, you’re not my friend. If you ask me, I’ll say I am, but if you don’t bring it up, I won’t think I need to. I told my friends at lunch one day because they asked, but nobody else knows. It’s not...

I came out as heterosexual
I come from a very liberal family, so I was always taught that any sexuality is a-ok and I can do whatever I like as long as I’m happy. In fact, it appeared that my mother believed in this so hard that she shot out the other end and was convinced I was gay in my early teens.
She’d sit me down once a week for the “it’s ok to be gay” talk, to which I’d always say...

My sister and I were playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the computer chose to play as a Pink Meta Knight.
Me: That Meta Knight is gay. You know I’m gay, right?
Sister: Oh. Crap Meta Knight just KO’d me.
Possibly one of the easiest things I’ve ever done.

Such a relief!
I told all of my close friends about myself when I told them about my girlfriend. Before her, I have only ever liked guys, but I had fallen so deeply in love with her that it made me finally accept the fact that I could be truly happy with a girl. I don’t know what that means for my sexuality, since she’s the only girl I’ve ever loved, or will ever love, but because I am looking...

Celebrate Diversity
So there I was in the worst position I have ever been in my entire life: hugging my dad as he was crying on my shoulder. I hate seeing my dad cry. He’s always so strong. I saw him cry only once before when his brother died. And now, it was because of me. On something that I was never planning to bring up until many years into the future: my sexuality. But it was forced out. Forced out by my...

Coming out to my friends was easy, if nervewracking. When it slipped from the one friend I had told, the others barely batted an eyelid at the idea of me being queer. No, it was everyone else that was hard to tell. The whole mess started years ago, as I realized I wasn’t quite straight. I was fourteen at the oldest and had always been told all the conservative Christian rot about gay people....

My (first) coming out was kind of funny, I guess.
I was about to start 9th grade and I was at the beach with some friends of mine. They were talking about boys and asked me, “so, how many people have you ever kissed?” and I replied, “Do girls count?”
They were all a little shocked but were always cool about it.
It still took me a while to come out to my parents though....

Second Part of my came out...
After I wrote the first part, I was anxious to tell my parents that I am gay. I give more importance to my mom couse I thing my dad already knows, so I didnt tell him. Anyway, I tried to tell my mom for a week and I was always feeling a pain in my chest, so that took me more time.
I was Lying on her bed, and she was sitting next to me. I was staring at her and then I told her

I made my dad watch lesbian coming out scenes from a tv show .(I’m not good with words and talking about my feelings with them) I cried through the whole thing because I’m happy that I’m actually doing this, at the same time scared of what my dad would say. He turned out to be okay with it but he said talking to my mom about this wouldnt be easy. The next day,...

My Best Friend
I am what would probably be considered bisexual, but this is something I had a hard time coming to terms with. I’ve always been the ally and relished the title of ‘straight friend’. But I eventually had to accept that I found girls attractive as well as boys.
There was really only one person who needed to know, and I always told myself I would tell him first: my best friend,...

My Story
In 10th grade I came out to myself as a lesbian, but it wasn’t until the summer before 11th that I decided to start coming out to my friends. I have been so incredibly fortunate to have the most amazing friends in my life and continue to to this day. I have never had a friend react negatively to my sexual orientation. In April of 11th grade (2009), my mother found out about me. I had begun...

So uh I was about 12 when I came out to my mom, she was the first one. I knew she was okay with gay people, my sisters ex-boyfriend is gay and her best friend is bi, but I didn’t know how she’d feel about having a gay daughter. It was really hard for me to accept my sexuality though, because I didn’t want to be more different than I already was. I would lay in bed at night crying my eyes out,...

My mom never asks me about my personal life and I didn’t have anyone to introduce to her so I’ve never bothered coming out until today. Or actually, she said “So you can tell me this is none of my business but…” *incredibly drawn out pause* “Are you gay?”
I responded in affirmation, and she continued “You know, ‘cause I wasn’t sure. I...

my overly literal bisexuality
So me and my group of friends were very into literature and I had been thinking about this girl I had a crush on nonstop, the problem was she moved out of state to go to a boarding school and I kept telling myself that I was straight. That was all very romantic to me of course, so during one of the times she was home on fall break I wrote her this massively long, multiple page poem. At the time my...
I told my mom, and she didn't really freak out...
We were in the car, and after I told her, she didn’t really say much. So, I got out of the car where she was dropping me off.
My sister picked me up from there and took me home. We were going to go dogsit for one of our teachers, but we had to go pick some stuff up at our house first. So, I went up to my room and found a book lying on my bed entitled Same Sex in the City: So Your Prince...
