I've only come out to my best friend and brother.
Best friend was like, "So....you do you like guys like me?"
I proceeded to stare confused and he proceeded to laugh.
My brother just said "Be careful, I wouldn't trust guys as much as girls and America sorta fowns on that sort of thing at the moment."

well im straight but if i was gay/or bisexual then their would probably be some VERY interesting stories to tell. lol i would probably be grounded and not on here tho bc my parents are baptist (i dont go to church often) and that would be a "bad" thing. haha...

It took my best friend to open me up. I knew she way bi but I had fought againstt religion for so long denying who I was. I came out to my aunt first and she said she had known. When i came out to my mom she said I had a chemical imbalance and said I needed meds lol. But now she accepts it she was never angry just unsure of how to react I suppose. I am bi not fully gay but I could lean more towards either side it depends on my feelings. I love both men and woman alot. Plus I think its gives me a larger playing field lol. That is about all i have to say on that lol. I am just searching for the right one now be they male or female. I know I have a soulmate out there somewhere.

I'm a gay woman. *doesnt like the word lesbian.* So really, the only person I've told was my mom because she accepts me. She was calm about it and everything.
My Dad and Brother will never find out unless I marry a gay woman, and well... They hate gay people, so they'd litterally disown me.

i just "came out" very recently. very few people knew before, really only my girlfriend. I'm bisexual. my mom freaked....she's practicaly avioding me. my sister says shes known about it. she's fine with it, we're really close. most of my chic friends thought it was nasty & now they dont talk to me, unless they're being mean. they few chic friends that do still talk to me, aren't like they used to be, very distant. almost all my guy firends, & even some random guys, think its cool & want to get w/ me & my girl. most people at school do the meanest things, like putting makeup on my clothes that say "freak" or other things on them, when i change for fitness (class at school) very few people took it in a good way.

I came out to my parents three years ago. Actually it was my mother that found out first.
Sitting in the kitchen with her after a huge fight where she tried to strangle me.
Me: Mom.. I think I'm attracted to females also.
Mom: *looks at me and nods* I figured.
Me: O_O You did? Why didn't you tell me? This has been killing me for months..!
Mom: I didn't think it was a big deal. You're not doing anything wrong.
Me: ....................does dad know?
Mom: We were discussing it the other day. Yeah.
Me: *goes to the bathroom to splash my face with cold water thinking I'm asleep.. or unconsious* Oh, okay. Good.

I have been coming out to people for almost a year now. All of my friends know, I'm pretty sure everyone at school who knows me at all knows, but my family doesn't, except maybe my brother.
The first person I told was my best friend who told me he was bi the day before, so he was ok with it. He was terrified telling me though, and my response was, "You know what I think about homosexuality, so why should it be a problem?".
I'm pretty sure my brother knows, as we have talked to each other when our defences were down, or he's talked to me when I was down. Also he has walked in on me browsing the internet... heh... sweatdrop

Yeah it was really hard for me to come out, but when I did I found that most of the people I told were really supportive. I did get a lot of "Oh... um... wow.... So like... You're really bi?... woah...." It was interesting but a lot of my friends support me... even if my family doesn't...

Well I figured about what I really was three years ago and here is how it went.
Me: Mom I'm bi.
Mom: I figured as much.
Me: ???
Mom: You keep drawing two girls doing things together.
Me: .......
Mom: And yes I've told your Dad about it too.
Me: ....great... XD
I think I'm turning lesbian now though because I'm becoming attracted more to females than males recently..... what do you guys think?

yashima very few people took it in a good way. I feel very sorry for you.... sad Aeyuki-chan I think I'm turning lesbian now though because I'm becoming attracted more to females than males recently..... what do you guys think? Personally I think all people are more or less bi. I don't believe that there is 100% straight or 100% homosexuality. It just varies with whom we meet and stuff. I'm quite sure that sooner or later you'll find a guy again that you are attracted to. About my own coming out... ages ago. Though I still haven't got around telling my parents. I am not sure why I should tell them anyway. All the people that are special to me know it, though. That is, all my friends, and most occasional acquaintances, too. I'm not trying to hide it in any way, and when the topic turns that way I'm about the last to not speaking about it. I'm glad that I mostly haven't had any bad responses like poor yashima, and those who did response in a bad way I'm glad to have lost. *hugsyouall*

First : it took me like 16 years to come out, cause I knew I was bi like always, somewhere at 13 I accepted it to myself and at 16 I came out to my friends and family, now Im 17 ...
Second : I told them all together somewhere about 4:00 am ... so second day when they all came to my house and when my family woke up it was kinda shocking but they all accepted it and supported me ... 6 months later I told it to the 4 friends more and they supported me too ... and they all still do ... there was many questions but everything was positive ...

Hmmm actually it's kind of interesting. Some of my family thought I was gay before I knew I was bi.
Hmmm well it started out with me doing research because a friend of mine was gay and was having problems dealing and I didn't know anything about it so I was checking things out online and trying to to help them deal. Well I left a website up... I don't even remember what it was but it had something to do with being gay and my dad saw it. I didn't know I just shut off the computer and did my usual goodnight rounds (hugs and g'nights) and went to bed but could hear my parents talking for a long time. Then around two am there was a knock on my door and my dad came in and we had a 'talk'.
Which pretty much consisted of him finding me on a gay sex website. I think I achieved a whole new level of blushing that night. God... My dad saw.... (shakes head) anyway.... Mom was crying for her 'poor misunderstood baby' (I love that woman. That was her reaction. She was worried about how people would react to me.) And dad told me he accepted and loved me and that some 'curiosity it was normal at my age'. That 'everyone was curious' at sometime and that it was alright to be curious.
I told my mom and dad I wasn't gay and that it was for a friend.... And now... well... low and behold I'm bi. I should have known then... I thought the website was hot. Well... at least I know they won't react to negatively but I don't want my mom crying for her poor misunderstood baby again. And experimenting and curiosity is slightly different from being sure about being bi... and leaning towards the gay side of bi. So anyway... I haven't come out come out to them yet.
I can out to a friend. A girl who was having issues coming out to her family and needed support. I also came out to my now ex... which is how we got together in the first place.
And some of my friends suspect. I'm a major flirt. But I think some of them are in denial and a few are kind of freaking out when I flirt with them now (although I'm not into them) so I think they know... or suspect.
