Well, most of my firnds know I'm bi, and they're cool with it (basically 1/4 of the parents/faculty at my school are gay), and I tried to tell my dad (he acts like he's open about all religions, but he's really open to being a homophobic atheist, he HATES religion and gay people) and he just lol'd and said OMG you're you young to know if you are or not. You're just a kid!. You are going to make me lots of grandkids. YAY.
*facepalm* I wonder if he knows what I do on "sleepovers"...


lol sounds like my grandmother XD (lol even if you are gay, you can still give him grandkids. i'd do it for spite, but im just like that XD )

Well, first I told my best friend and he was okay with it, then I told my mom who laughed for some reason and then she told my brother who said he doesn't 'believe' me and thinks it's 'cute' neutral

I told the whole school first, my parents second. Just came out and said it. If they didn't like it then I didn't really care.

I'm a bi sweatdrop .. It took me a long while to figure out that I'm a bi, cause there wasn't any terminology for this before I had internet. Also I;m the sort of person who could deal with other people's problems, but can't figure out my own and I get really confused over myself.
When I first liked someone same sexed as me, I freaked out all the girls cause as I get so damn possessive and they all avoided me and left me out of things as they try to "rescue" that girl. I felt so sorry about my actions. I didn't know what to do. So I just kept my feelings in the closet.
Then later I also came to fall in love with my current partner who is a boy. I told him I also liked girls, but I rarely do fall in love with one. He accepted it and said its alright. He also has some gay tendencies, but he prefer to like girls.
I think its so difficult to come out of the closet as I don't know how to speak well.. I just fumble about for words, I'm so clumsy. I'd just make myself look stupid. So I haven't said anything about it publicly..

Well for me, it was simple, I lied through my teeth to my dad, bribe my sisters not to tell him, my mom was alright with it. and my friends... all but one is alright with it. the one i didn't tell is afraid of homosexuals... (we share his small, one room apartement, where i curl up on his twin size bed, and flirt with him) he is very thick headed, and doesn't relise, i say, when the time is right, you will know, and how it will happen will come naturally as well

Hah. I came out on Mothers Day while I was in college 1k miles away from home...on my way to get my first tattoo.

I called my mother and told her, word for word, "Hi mom! Happy Mothers day! I wanted you to know that I am gay and I am also on my way to get my first tattoo! Oh! Also I put your present in the mail so it should arrive soon! LOVE YOU!"

She then proceeded to yell at me for 20 mins about my tattoo.
I said, "mom you heard the whole 'I am a homo' thing right?"
She said, "Oh that! yeah I knew that when you were like 10 and had an unusual obsession to Xena Warrior Princess. Why do you think I let you watch that show all the time?! Because it defiantly wasn't age appropriate! NOW ABOUT THAT TATTOO?!"

It's kind of obvious that I'm transgendered. I always forget I have a female body. sweatdrop I mix up gender pronouns, too, and I go by a male name. Mm-hmm. Anyone can figure it out.

Or ask. I don't believe in closets. I just don't flaunt it.

I'm not out to my family yet, minus a few cousins and whatnot.
I came out to all my friends at school. All I really had to do was say,
"Hey, I'm gay." All of them were totally fine with it.

My family is very religious. They're Christian/Catholic.
I'm Christian. I don't see why everyone is so shocked by the fact.
Anyway, I'm not sure I'm going to come out to them until I'm with a girl
and very serious about the relationship. Not that I haven't been serious
before, but I'm talking "Let's get married and spend the rest of our lives
together" serious. I might even go an even shorter time and just tell them
whenever I move out of the house so that way they can't kick me out.

I came out to my family when I was 8.
I have been in love with females and
males and everything in between ever
since. I told my mother that I liked kissing
girls and guys, and she didn't seem to have
a problem with it.

My Aunt, my mom's sister is a
lesbian, so it made it really easy for her
to come out after I did. So. I have been
happeh ever since.

I had to come out 3 times. I came out at age 12 as a lesbian to my mother who took it rather well because she herself told me she was bisexual (go figure). By the time I was in college I started to have feelings for men. I shrugged them off but they got stronger when I noticed I had an attraction to gay men. Anyway, yeah, so I had to come out again as bisexual. My mom by this point was raising her eyebrow. I told her that the only sex I could have with a man is if I simulated gay sex. Well, that was odd. Recently, in April, I couldn't take it anymore and I came out yet again as transgendered.

Yes, it's been weird. My mom was finally proud of me for coming out as who I am. She knew I was holding something back. My friends ALL KNEW. It was annoying. I've had the same group of friends since high school and they all KNEW. gonk I wish someone would have told me!

Lol my story's kinda depressing so take the warning here if you don't wanna read.


Due to issues in my past, I never really developed mentally and couldn't really comprehend relationships and other stuff. But after graduating and going to college I started watching Pokemon a lot and realized that I was blushing whenever Ash took his shirt off. Took a few months to figure out what it meant but when I did I thought I was a monster from all the stuff my Christian relatives had always preached about. Sooo I tried driving my car off the road and cutting a lot before finally accepting what I was. xD And this was before I had even told anyone. Told my grandma and she called my aunt and they were telling me how god says its wrong. While I was crying.

Lol fun times.
