When I came out
I came out to my mom first, and she’s more of a best friend than anything, but it was still so super heart pounding and gut twisting to have to do it. This is all after the school, my high school, had called my mother at her work and proclaimed that they thought her daughter was a lesbian, and I had a fit over that.
I just couldn’t believe that a school could ruin my coming out like...

What I think happened was....
Well in all truth I’ve only come out to those who aren’t family (other than my older sisters). This is because of conservative Catholicism that seems to be running true and strong…
A couple of years ago I figured out I was bi, I kinda knew it already, but finally having the confirmation lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. I told a few people and their response was generally...

Coming out to my friends.
A few summers ago two of my closest friends and I were sitting by the pool and I was really silent (which was weird for them because I usually never shut up). So they just kept asking me “whats wrong?!” and I kept saying nothing but finally I told them that I had something to tell them. They kept asking me what I had to say but my vocal chords just wouldn’t let the words come out...

Don we now our gay apparel...
So, this happened in 2009, but it still cracks me up/makes me cringe whenever I think about it, so I try not to think about it too much.
My cousins, whom I see about once or twice a year, had come to stay with my parents and I, and I was just beginning to seriously come out to certain people. I’d come home in the evening, and there they were, getting ready for the family-reunion Christmas...

Coming out... twice.
I always acted bisexual. I don’t know how to explain, in elementary school I told my mom about that one girl and always wanted to play “boys” where the girls were acting like boys and picking girls who they “loved”. I talked about women being attractive aswell and well, it was always THERE, you know. When I was 16 I thought I was gay. Since we’re an open family...

Girl Scouts?
I was 13 when I came out to myself as pan (though I tend to lean toward female-identified people). Though, at the time, I tended to just say “bi” so I didn’t have to explain pansexuality.
So I was hanging out at a Girl Scouts meeting, chatting with a friend I hadn’t seen in some time. We were just talking, and she said, “It’s kind of awkward when I go to [hey...
How My Dad Came Out
It was at Thanksgiving and everything. Just me, my sister, and my dad.
Dad: So, since it’s sort of tradition to confess things over Thanksgiving dinner, I think I ought to let everyone know that I’m…uh, bisexual.
Me: Cool.
Little sister: What’s that?
Dad: It means I like girls and boys.
Little sister: Oh.
(my sister and I keep eating)
Dad: …and everyone’s alright with that?
Everyone:...

Not So Much Coming Out as Dragged Out...
So, in the winter of my 10th grade year, I finally figured out I was gay. I worried for months about telling my parents until one day, during an argument with my mom, we had an exchange that went like this:
Me: (assorted angry statements)
Mom: I know why you’re so angry all the time! It’s because you’re gay!
Me, totally shocked and starting to cry: …how did you know?!

Coming out to my choir
Choir is a huge part of my life. It means so much to me, so I was terrified at the prospect of coming out to my choir friends in case they rejected or hated me for it.
One night, after a particularly well-done concert, I was at a sleepover with about 15 people from my choir. We were talking about things we just wanted to get off our chests, and so I decided that it would be the perfect moment to...

Coming out to Mama Dukez
Once the snake was out of the grass, I really didn’t have a lot of trouble telling people I was gay or accepting it.
Most definetly, the inly person whom I had the most trouble coming out too, was the only person who ever truly and trhoughly loved me and would give their own life for me, My mom.
After getting all jazzed up and glistening inspiration from a Marriage Equality rally i had...

I came out as bi and poly to my older homophobic brother..mostly by accident in the same conversation. He had asked me some stupid question to get a look into the female brain about whether I’d feel better if my boyfriend killed someone or cheated on me. And I replied that it was a moot question, as my boyfriend would be hard pressed to cheat on me since we have an open relationship. He...

Are you gay?
Technically, I didn’t come out to my Mom. She asked me flat out in the car around 6 AM on my way to marching band practice.
It went something like this…
Mom : “Jhan…are you gay?”
I sat there for a while thinking of whether to admit it.
Me: “Yes….yes I am.”
Mom: ” Oh okay…”
That was the most awkward car ride...

How I Came Out on New Years
I spent New Years with my dad, his girlfriend, and a few of our family friends. At midnight, we all ran outside and started screaming (of course..) and then everyone started hugging each other. After we all went back in, we went into the living room and decided to play rockband (we’re just that classy.)
Me: Uh…I have something to say. It’s sort of my New Years resolution.

When my brother and I came out to each other
My brother was in 8th grade, I was in 7th when this happened. He had just gotten suspended for fighting. We were playing NBA Jams on Sega Genesis, waiting for our parents to come home, at which point he would get in trouble again.
Me: Why were you fighting him anyway? He’s like, 5 inches taller than you. Big Bro: I know. He kept calling me gay, and then he yelled “faggot” and I...

Coming out in Facebook chat
I was chatted with my two friends, Abby and Daphine on Facebook when Abby came out as bi.
Abby: So how about you, Max(<- my nickname)?
Me: Queer as Dumbledore.
Abby: Dumbledore’s gay!?!
Daphine: I love how that’s your only response.

Coming out to my brother
I’m not really out yet, just to my brother and two (girl) friends. I’m a girl.
Me: Remember why I stopped telling you secrets?
Brother: Yea,I told mom about your long distance boyfriend.
Me: I want to tell you something but I’m afraid you’ll tell mom again…
Brother: I’m older now, I can keep a secret. I’m sorry for that one.
Me: Ok… You’re...

Coming Out To My Mom
When I came out to my mom it was spur of the moment. We were sitting next to each other on separate computers. I told her I was a lesbian.
She started by saying “I know… you may think you are.”
That really kinda hurt. I may have only been 14 but I had known for at least two years before that anyways.
The next part kinda hurt more. “But you are really too young to...

Lent
My parents are both very open, and in turn I am very open with them. I came out as poly to my mum, and it was as calm an experience as anyone could hope for. She pretty much expected it. Similar could be said of me coming out as Bi.
Both me and my mother tend to give up alcohol for lent. As a result, the night before lent, much drinking occurs. Last years lent I had moved away from home, and was...

Coming out to myself
I remember this as if it was yesterday. I had already like seen both gay and straight porn and i really hadn’t though about what i liked. But i knew that if I was gay I was different and bad. So I was lying in bed one night when i was like 14 years old, and i had imagined two things: a guy and a guy. After I saw these two images in my mind’s eye, I knew I was gay because that was what...

Came out to Facebook
on the 20th of October at about 6pm, about 800 people found out I was bisexual by the facebook status I made, letting everyone know.
‘I’m Bisexual. (: ‘
The next day at school, I got shitloads of stares, but it felt so fucking damn good. Words can’t describe how proud of myself I was… (:

That awkward moment when...
I’ve known I was “different” for ages. I’ve never really been able to put my thumb on how so, but I always have. I first started wanting to kiss girls when I was about 8…same time I wanted to kiss boys…I was a very confused child. So, as time goes on, I learn that kissing girls is a big “no-no”, and those feelings get locked away tightly in a drawer....

Came out to Mom.
I came out to my mom as queer. Didn’t say “queer”, exactly. Just that I’m “not straight.” I knew she wouldn’t understand the definition of “queer” just yet.
She said she pretty much knew already. Now that I’ve admitted it, she can accept it fully.
She asked if I was sure, then hugged me & said she’d always love me no matter...
