I just casually told my dad. He didn't have a problem with it. My mom was gone at the time. When she got back I told her. She doesn't have a problem with gays. Don't think she approves of her daughter being bisexual but...*shrug* She doesn't say anything about it. I was a bit nervous to tell my best friend but she accepted it and after that I didn't care if anybody else cared or not. My best friend is really important to me and if I had lost her over that... I would've gone into serious depression mode. She's one of those ones that you know you'll be friends with the rest of yuor life. So anyway I told my other friends and they were fine with it. 'Cept for this chick in art class. She's religous and is against homosexuality. I think we've agreed to disagree on the subject.
For everyone that hasn't told their parents or is reluctant to, my advice is to tell them. It's great to get it off your chest and way better than them finding out from someone else or walkin in on you and your beau. After that, it gets easier.

I told my mom and bro a few weeks ago... I had sulked into deep depression, but I realized that it was because I could never let my true self show since I was keeping the fact that I'm bi to myself. My mom ha noticed my depression, and was worried... so I told her first, but my bro was in my room at the same time as well. I almost choked over the words as I told them, but they were ok with it, yet I knew that they'd be. My bro didn't even look up from the computer screen.
Later I told my friend Ash, because I knew she'd understand, and it turns out that she's bi as well! I still have to tell the rest of my friends but that;ll all come in time...
wink heart
Honestly, coming out, even just to those few people was the greatest thing I've ever done. I feel so much more honest, and free-er to be myself!

I just told one of my other friends an hour or so ago through AIM... I was talking to him about how to sort things out since he was feeling stressed... so after teaching him how to clear his mind and take things one step at a time I said that that's how I came about the cure of my depression, and he asked what the cause had been... so I told him. He's ok with it, and still asks me for help with personal/relationship issues. He rocks! blaugh
Now I only have 7 more people to tell, but I'm sure if I tell two or three more friends it'll end up leaking out to everyone else. xp

Let's see...
I came out in an 11th grade English paper that had to be read in front of the class. That's how I came out to my school. The way I came out to my mom was a bit more...strange.
It was a Saturday morning. I had a red net shirt that needed a hole or three sewn up in it that I had torn in the seam, accidentally. I went into my mom's room while she was putting on her makeup, and I got her sewing kit and proceeded to sew the holes shut on my shirt. Suddenly out of nowhere, she asks 'Are you gay?'
I respond, "...Yes."
Silence.
More silence. Five minutes goes by.
Mother asks, "Are you pulling my chain?"
Silence.
I never look up from what I'm doing, I continue sewing my net shirt, "No."
I complete sewing up the holes, proceed to put the sewing kit away, and go about my business as if nothing happened.
She told my dad 2 weeks later.

Let's see..... I've been out of the closet for a very long time (dusty place; I'm not one to stay in there for long, on any subject, I'm afraid). If I recall correctly, I came out to my mom not long after I discovered it for myself, about seventeen years ago - trust me, it was a lot harder then, and wasn't nearly as acceptable a lifestyle as it is now. Just sorta.. casually, starting by asking her how she felt about alternative lifestyles.
My mom was a fantastic woman (she passed away this past November; I'm still dealing with her passing, and moving on is HARD - that woman was the main solid rock in my life); she took it all in stride. It gave my baby sister the courage to come out as well, not but a couple of years later. My father, on the other hand, was a homophobe. A very stubborn homophobe, at that. He never would have accepted my lifestyle, and would have sworn I could change it if I wanted to. Right. You think I choose to be bisexual? You think I choose to be polyamorous? The only thing I chose was to study Native American Shamanism and pursue ordination as a Wiccan High Priestess. I really am glad he died before I came out.
All in all, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what others think.. there are those that will love you, regardless. And I've surrounded myself with people like that, who love me regardless. It's not an easy life, but it's definately worth living smile

loginbin3000 Whoa dude. How was it found out that you were gay when the paper was read? It was a life story, compacted into 2 paragraphs And I mentioned that I was a 'Gay youth living in Montgomery, Alabama' in passing. *Grins* Most people didn't realize what I had said until the end of the paper.

Well, I will never, ever tell my parents, 'cause my mom said she would kill herself... don't ask. I personaly think she's trying to scare ot outta me, but whatever. I first came out to my closest friends and they promised never to tell, and I trust them with almost my life. Then one weekend, I was at the mall in Hot Topic and looking at the shoelaces they have. I was thinking "I'm soo sick of hiding being myself in school... I'm gonna come out!! But how?" Then I looked over and saw them. The perfect way to come out. Bright rainbow shoelaces!! I immediately bought them and put them on when I got home. Then I wore them to school on Monday and then that day, changed my high school exsistance forever!!! But my parents... well, pray for me. smile

Well, I haven't officially come out yet. I mentioned and hinted to my best friend and I think she knows, but we don't talk about it. I know my parents would freak so bad and my grandparents would want me disowned. I'm scared of what the people at school will say, but I'm getting ready to say somethign soon.
