Shirtless Conversationalist

 Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 8:28 am
I'm planning on coming out on April 10 of this year. Since its the day of silence, I can't yell at homophobes when they're like, "Really? EEEEEWWWW!" and pull all of that bullshit. I'm gonna wear a shirt that says, "Bi and proud-- April 10: Day of Silence."
I'm also gonna carry a whiteboard so I can have some form of communication, cuz without it, Life would suck.

I came out to one of my gay friends and one of my bi friends first, and they gave me the confidence to tell my boyfriend. I didn't know how he'd react so I was terrified, I at least thought he'd need some time to think about things. But the first day I saw him after he came back from vacation, I was going to tell him. I was so scared I couldn't talk for a good five minutes and finally I just said "I still love you more than anything... And so I'm just gonna say this; I'm bi", and without even hesitating he said "Okay, I don't really mind as long as you still love me. But you didn't tell me what movie you wanted to see."
Then I told my drama class at school today, at least three people came up to me and told me they already knew I wasn't straight, the others just shrugged cause it was nothing new to them.
My parents and some other friends don't know yet.

I came out to my friend Emily first as bi... and then after a year, I came out officially as lesbian, and some people around the school had already heard rumours that I was gay and perpetuated them. Then I came out to my Dad, and then to my mom, and my grandparents found out from facebook. XD They hate me now.

Honestly, I'd feel better if they just figured it out. So that's my plan.
...
I think it's working.
My friends were talking about how stereotypically gay one of their friends was (sadly, it was true) and somehow the conversation turned to me, with one of my friends saying, "as far as we know, we don't know if Brett (me) is."
Awkward silence. Me, looking down and quite obviously blushing.
HOPEFULLY THAT WAS A BIG ENOUGH CLUE. emotion_donotwant

*le leaves porn up on the computer (not that I watch it... often... I just thought I'd make it easier on everyone myself and cop out)*
Mom: I saw some pictures of.... girls... doing things on the computer. Are you gay?
Me: Yes. What's for dinner?
My brother's was the classic, though. My mother and I were sitting up in her room talking about something and he just ran up the stairs, leaned into the doorway, and shouted "I DON'T LIKE VAGINAS AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" He proceeded to run downstairs. My mother gave me one of those "did he really just...?" looks and we continued with our conversation.
It wasn't the most shocking of revelations. I mean, the kid used to run around the house in my Easter dresses.

To put it plainly: my closet kicked me out.
To expand on this... I was deeply closeted, but I was willing to be out in public with my relationship as long as my family never got to know about it. I ended up buying a shirt that said "I'm only gay for the social benefits" to wear at a pride event my girlfriend at the time promised me that we'd go to, and... well, as closeted as I was, I didn't want my mom to find it. So, that said, I turned it inside out, bundled it up, threw it in the corner of my closet and piled clothes on top of it.
And then, one night when I was out watching a movie with my best friend, my mom decided to get a hair up her a** and clean my room. And my closet. Not only did she find my porn stash in my underwear drawer (still wondering about that one) but she found the shirt. When I got home, my porn was trashed and there were three notes- on my bedroom door ("We need to talk"), on my closet door ("We need to talk") and, as I opened the closet in fear, there the shirt I had hidden to the best of my ability was hanging, ironed out (OCD much?) and with a page duct taped to it with words written boldly in Sharpie ink ("We really need to talk about this").
So after asking three times, twice where I tried to deny it and say it was a friend's, I admitted the truth to my mom. We didn't talk to two weeks after that. Not because I was gay, but because I didn't just tell her. Weird family, but still messed up all the same.
So yeah, my closet kicked me out.

I've told a couple friends, but no one besides them knows. I don't think my family does, and I trust these two not to tell the blabber mouths at school I want to be ABSOLUTELY sure I am not straight before I tell them, and even then I'll find a way to stay away from them after telling.
Jsut to let them cool down after it, in case they ARE mad.

i came out slowly as trans to my friends and then picked up speed by insisting on a name at college. my folks on the other hand learned slowly. first with denial, then my dad started realizing that it doesn't matter to him if i'm male or female, so long as i'm being responsible. XD
and my step mom pulled the whole behavior of, "you don't know anything, you're too young" "things'll change" and even to this day she refuses to use my chosen name. -_-
and as for gay, i had a feeling since i was little but i never quite had the words or courage yet to stand up and say it so to speak. it took until i turned 19 to come out as trans and gay.

I was always scared to come out in high school openly,I already was getting picked on and harassed enough.I open up to my family *my mother,father and older sister* on my mother's birthday when I was 17.I was really scared,but my family was really supportive with me.My father ended up making a joke and we all laughed.I openly came out after high school,cause I never wanted to see most of the people in my class ever again.Since then,I've learned that you should be proud to be who you are no matter what others may say or do.

I'm sorry to hear that your mother was like that to you.It hurts me to hear this about anyone.You would think your parents would be the most understanding,but that doesn't always work out that way.I hope things do get better for you with your mother now *big hugs*
