I'm coming out next school-year. I am absolutely certain that I am gonna lose all my friends, and my one very best friend (damn narrow-minded, insanely beautiful Roman Catholic), so I'll probably only have you guysm and maybe the GSA people.
That's why I changed schools, going to a different highschool than everyone else.
Does the GSA sell little rainbow pins and stuff??

yeah, it is a pretty magical feeling once you come out. it's like no one can hold anything against you cuz you're out in the open and it's not a big deal. it's not a weakness anymore! yeah, parents don't understand phases anymore. it's not like we're going around the playground beating up one another cuz we're going through a phase, or like we're not sleeping and crying a lot cuz we're going through a phase. they just like making excuses. haha, mine just thought i was an attention whore tryin to get outta church. xd

I've come out to my friends and they are all supportive. I haven't come out to my family yet, however. I honestly don't think I will for a while.

I have some advice: a magical and 100% true relevation to use against those who give the 'God' argument.
Okay, so everyone's always all like, "The Bible says that homosexuality is a sin!", etc, blah blah blah. And that's entirely true. But guess what? It never said that originally!
I'll tell you how I know. So me and my therapist, who is totally awesome btw, were having a conversation about how ridiculous Prop 8 is. And she was telling me that in college, she was taking these classes on literature and everything. And they had to, naturally, study the Bible in them. In it's original form. You know, all the Hebrew, ancient Greek, and that. So their job was to translate it. Because you know, when the Bible was originally translated, that was so long ago that the translators did not in fact know everything about the language they were translating. It was mostly an approximation, with a lot of guessing included. So if you go back and re-translate the original text with all the knowledge we have now about the language, it turns out that every single quote that people use to be all like 'God says gayness is bad nyaaah!' actually never said that originally. It said something else and was mistranslated to that!
So you see, the Bible originally never said anything against homosexuality after all. You can throw that in your parents' faces if they try and use the 'God argument' against you.
As for my coming-out story... I don't have much of one. I still haven't come out to my parents, although I think my mom might suspect. Most of my friends know, because I either told them when my love life was getting to complicated to handle alone, or on Day of Silence when we had a sleep-over, and I just out and told everybody when we were standing in a circle on Kristiana's driveway. It really is the most incredible feeling once people know.

All my friends and family know im a lesbian...even if i didn't tell them its obvious just by looking at me..i look like a boy.
To me it was easy to come out..i sat my parents down and said "you say you'll love me no matter what, well i have something i have to tell you. I'm a lesbian." My mom cried and didn't speak to me for over a month, my dad gave me a hug and said he will always love me, and my brother gave me a high five and made me his new wing man.
All my friends know. I told them first if they were my real friends it wouldn't change anything..and it didn't.
xd

The first time I "officially" came out to anyone, it was in October of 8th grade, to my best friend Kiara-chan. I'd gone to her church that Wednesday night, and there was a guest speaker there talking about all the things wrong with homosexuality. It kind of got to me, so I told her during the speech that there was something I needed to tell her. So afterwards we were alone in the bathroom, and I couldn't seem to make the words "I'm gay" come out. So I ended up writing it on a piece of paper and handing it to her. Then she gave me a hug and I completely bawled my eyes out. It was a very emotional moment for me =3 I had told another friend before that, but....it was a really complicated thing so I don't really count it. I never officially told her "I'm gay" until like, months after she'd already pretended to like me/etc...
So then, a little while later, I went to another friend's (Kei-chan) Halloween party. There, I ended up making out with another girl for a Dare (it was only for the game, and I didn't like her at all, ew) After that, a lot of rumors started going around at school, so I just gave in and told Kei-chan that I was gay. She was like "Okay, whatever." And completely cool about it.
The funny thing is, way before I told anyone, all of my friends had pretty much guessed I was gay, because I always said I hated men, and kind of gave a LOT of subtle hints.
After that, all of my other friends pretty much confirmed it from my other friends, until all of them knew, which I was cool with. The only two that didn't know were two of my friends: Ro-tan and Meru-chan, who I told later at a Speech competition, and were both cool with it.
Then my parents....... (oh this was fun XD)
One night I was acting really weird, because I wanted to tell my mom but was hesitating. I had waited a really long time to tell her -well- just because. I knew she would be fine with it, because she's very liberal and stuff, but I had just waited until I was completely sure. So this was kind of how the conversation went...
Mom: (for some reason we got into THIS discussion again) "I wouldn't care if you came home with a black man, or a woman...."
Me: *starts laughing*
Mom: "What?" -stares at me laughing with a concerned expression- "ARE you gay?"
Me: -bursts into hysterical laughter-
So yeah, we had a long talk that night.... ^^;;
I waited a really really long time to tell my dad, because I wasn't sure how he would react (he's one of those people you just can't gage a reaction). By then my mom had told most of my family and her close friends. So anyway,
My dad had a really 'emotional' night, and so my mom sent me in there to talk to him. And there was a lull after he'd talked for a while, and he goes: "So, is there anything you want to tell me/talk about?"
And, well, I didn't figure there would be another time, so I just kind of told him.
His reaction: -looks up towards ceiling with a thoughtful expression- "Hm."
At first he asked me if I was really GAY, or just one of those people who "liked both". XDD; But he was cool with it, so all was good.
--and whoa I typed alot :\ I could write a book, ahaha.

I came out last year. I finally got to the point in my life where I did not care what anyone else thought and just blurted it out in class. Everyone had already guessed that I was bi though. I am a tomboy and the way that I act around certain friends.... redface Well then like four months ago I told my aunt and she thought that I had already told her.... xd Well I have had a few experiences with some straight friends and it was on my bday last year and this year. Both times the three different friends stopped in the middle... crying
So I have never really slept with a girl but I know I am bi or les.
By the way....I thought that this was a coming out/advice forum not a general discussion forum.....
