Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've been comming out slowly now for almost a year... THus far it's been pretty easy, although i've only told friends and on relitives yet. I know personally the hardest part will be tell my mother. Only becaus ei'm her only daughter and well, she'll want me to marry a man a be happy and "normal"...

How about all of you? What's the hardest part of coming out, do you think? Feel free to describe any personal experiance, or future fears...

*tear* people only come to vote and not talk.. i feel used...

I haven't come out ever, and i don't know if I ever will. this is my first day actually telling anyone (you guys) that I'm Bi.

*huggles.*

Hmm.
I've just recently decided to come out "of the closet". The bisexuality has been there, somewhere inside of me, though I chose to acknowledge and recognize it around Xmas. This very Xmas. Several friends are bi/homo, so that helped me and they are the ones who know. Furthermore, I'm studying gender studies on uni-level and classmates are lgbt-people and that simplifies this process for me.
The hardest part will be to inform my beloved family. I mean, I have had plenty of other stories for them: veganism, politics (very far to the left), gender studies, blahblahblah...
Then friends. I don't wish to feel alienated at all, just... accepted.
Today I had a conversation with a newfound friend, we're in the same theatre and lbgt-org at the uni, regarding bisexuality. Partly, it's been good for her, partly difficult... I mean, to hear your own relatives/family say negative things about your own life is pretty darn difficult...
Love to all of you who choose to come out. Love to all of you who choose not to tell certain people/anyone about your sexuality. You're great no matter what!

I don't tell anybody because they will think i am werid. (they all ready say i am werid) i only tell my cloest of people i like to call peepz which is only one.

I think I will tell the whole of my coming out story because I haven't told it in quite awhile. Well back when I was 15 and a freshman in high school, I began to remember things that I had sub-consciously locked away, things that I had done when I was 10 and in the Boy Scouts. More particularly I began to remember my step-mothers reaction to it, it was brutal and she was very abusive about it. As a child I was being constantly abused anyways, so things just became worse, so I locked all feelings and memories away. Well I got my chance to leave that enviroment when I was 12 and I got the chance to move to California and live with my mother. I took the chance without a second-glance and I was away from my step-mother for good. Well my dad divorced her three months later anyways, but at least I got away. So I still lived unawares through 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, though not unnoticed by the local bullies who had their eyes on me, thinking that I was gay. That bullying came to a head in 8th grade when I got jumped by four guys and between mercilessly, which resulted in the cracking of two of my ribs. At that time I did not know that they where cracked, because my chest was bruised and the ribs cracked in, so the swelling went unnoticed as simple bruising. Well I never told anyone about this or what happened with my step-mom, I was alwats very scared. But when I got into high school, everything changed. I remember meeting these two senior girls in my drama class, which I became very good friends with, Nikki and Katie. Well I always sat with them and talked with them about everything in high school and then they told me that they are bi, which didn't sound too wierd to me. It was at about this time that I was beginning my section on wiccan and pagan religion as part of six year theology study that I was doing on my own. Well as part of my studies, I actually worked some of the things with wiccan/pagan studies; deep meditation, chanting, rituals, and various other things, all of which I throughly enjoyed, but none of it called to me like the meditation. I began to do deep meditation almost everyday, going deeper and deeper into my own psyche, eventually coming to the blockade of my own making. It was there that I discovered my own bisexuality, though not the rest of what had happened to me, I dared not go that deep into my psyche. After a couple of months of analyzing myself and making sure that I wasn't just confusing myself, I broke it to my two friends Nikki and Katie, who were very supportive of me. In fact they introduced me to what was to be another of my really good friends, Tiana, the out and proud lesbian of the campus, and also Matthew, the gay man that I am the most like now, a artist and not someone who advertises themselves. Well I became great friends with them all, but I made a mistake with the next person that I came out to. She was my date to Winter Ball, and one of my good friends form drama class, Jean. Well I told Jean before we went to Winter Ball, but afterwards she told her best friend, Dominique, and then Dominique told everyone else, thus outing me to most of the people that I knew, including the guys that I had been on wrestling team with and well they weren't very happy about that. But I kept with my circle of friends and everything was ok. The next year I got my chance to right eveything that I had done wrong for the last couple of years. I was searching around the net and I came upon a site about gsa's and I decided to start one at my school, and after a very extended battle with my school principal I got it started. Well on that same time I applied to join the Jump-Start Leadership Team, a team from across the nation that works with gsa's and helps to organize student work. Well I was accepted, and last summer I went to the national conference in Washington DC, but before I went I decided to come out to my mom and my dad. My mom accepted me to the fullest, but when I told my dad before I went to DC he decided to disown me. Well at least I was out, and not hiding myself anymore, no longer scared of what was happen if were to stand up for myself. So I have been working with my gsa and the team for the last year, doing the good for all the abused queer students out there. Sorry if this has been a little long, but it has been good for me to get it out.

I am Bi too and I only came out a couple of days ago and only to a couple of really close friends who are Bi aswell.
