Welcome to Gaia! ::

When I came out, I was scared as HELL! (I'm bi)

But I told my best friends first, and they already knew I was questioning my sexuality. I'd figured it out long ago. Like, quite a few months before.
Me: I'm bi.
Molly: So, you finally figured it out, eh? Good job!
Jessica: Sweet! (she's bi, too)

Then, I told my boyfriend. I'd been going out with him for about a month, and I'd known for like.. heh, a while before that. He didn't have a good reaction. He was basically an a**, and he finally made me cry. Then, I guess once he saw that I was crying, he apologized profusely. I said it's fine, but I never forgave him. But I guess that's ok, because we're not dating anymore.

Other friends were what I was scared about, but it mostly went like this:
Me: Promise you'll still be my friend no matter what, ok?
Them: I promise.
Me: I'm bisexual.
Them: Wow, I wouldn't have guessed! How long have you known? (Among other questions about how I found out, etc.)

And I also got a few "It's so cool that you're comfortable with telling people! Congrats on being who you are!"

I haven't gone about telling everyone in the school, because it's none of their business, but I'm not stopping my friends from telling people.

I haven't told my dad yet, and I'm a little scared about that. I am going to wait until I have a girlfriend to tell him, because until then, there isn't much of a need to cause drama.

Anyway, that's my little story.

Eh don't sweat it so much. My mom started crying because she is a christian and doesn't like it. Also because her brother is gay. So I guess she was like "Oh no not my kid". But hopefully your 'rents won't be like that 3nodding

((sorry i posted twice!!))

The first to know was my friend Caroline. It sorta went down like this.

Caroline: Kristen do you like Megan?
Me: What?!
Caroline: Well, do you like Megan as more then a friend?
Me: Yes . . . but I've got a boyfriend and I don't want to tell him I want to date one of my friends.
Caroline: so you're bi. That's cool. someday you'll tell them your sexuality.

A few weeks later my bf found out and dumped me. I came out to my friends, Megan was shocked and I thought she didn't like me anymore because she started to aviod me. We cleared up the mess and she fully excepts me for who I am. All my friends do. I told my mom and she was completly fine with it. I have such a cool lesbian for a mother. I haven't told my dad in person but he read my old journal and excepted me for who I am.

But when it got around at school, well my school life became a living hell. Teachers gave me dirty looks and rumors were spread like mad. I didn't give a sh!t. When I got into high svchool it didn't matter what my sexual preference was. There are plent of gays, lesbians, and bis at school. We even ut with those that are straight.

Considering I've only really started to know what bisexual means and I've only realized I am bi one month ago I haven't told that many people (I don't want to broadcast it at school, it's a Catholic school and I'm scared shitless that they'll tell my parents before I do and take try to convert me to hetro.) Actually the only reason it actually leaked out to 3 of my friends was because we got on the subject of same sex marriages and I just blurted it out to defend my case.

They actually all seemed pretty cool about it, one of my friends was a tiny bit shocked but suppositly they always knew since I give off a gay vibe or something. Actually my one friend who is a girl actually thought it was really cool and said now atleast there will be someone that she can talk about girl stuff with xd and the one guy friend sort of shrugged it off and said it was cool to my suprise considering the whole school is really religous and strict.

Anyways that was yesterday and today they were still cool with it. But I have no clue what to say to my parents, my mom has gay friends and says that it's perfectly fine to be bi or gay but I still think she'd be stunned if I turned out bi. my dad, I haven't the fainst clue, again he says it's alright but I can just imagine how akward the conversation would be.

So yeah

first person i told was over email. along the lines of something like this

me: maddie i have something to tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone

maddie: i promise, the first thing that poped in my mined was that you have feelings for me second thing was that you have feelings for tom WHAT IS IT

me: no not tom and not you girls more in general

maddie: oh honey thats cool

second person i told
(over msn)
me:i have something to tell you
mr X: what is it
(me freak out and not say anything)
Mr X: is is your sexuality?
me: no..
mr x what is it then?
me: my sexuality i like girls
mr x: yeh dyke lol guess what im bi
me: i couldn't tell

quite light hearted really

when i told my mum she started to cry and compared me to my siblings her word

stevens a drug addict
tina has dickhead boyfriends
and your a lesbian

that hurt the most

but she is ok with it now i think, but its hard cos she wants me to be straight. i know this by coments like 'oh isnt he cute' or 'i bet you wouldn't mind him saving' YES I WOULD actually but its good i dont feel the need to tell people, i dont have a girlfriend when i do i might tell people but untill then it has nothing to do with them

one of my not so close friends found out and stoped talking to me all together. she hates my whole group now but no one except me and maddie really now why her lose anywho

*grumbles* I hate that speech. That is hilarious, though, about the razors mrgreen I mean, a little sad that you were thinking about that.. but funny nonetheless since you are better now heart
