I came out when I was 12 to my step dad and he approved. I came out that same year to my friends and school. It was just this past year that my real mom, other step dad and brother found out and they disowned me for awhile. My real daddy my step mom and my sisters all approve too.
I wanna know:
A: have you come out yet?
B: If you did are you accepted?
C:If you have not come out yet when do you plan on coming out?

I came out when I was sure I was gay, that was my second relationship with a girl, I first came out to my best friends, who told me they thought it was just a phase, they were wrong, then my sister sort of found out on her own, then I told a guy friend who wasn't really a close friend at the time, and he was like ".. yeah, we already know", I don't think my family would like it very much so I haven't told any of them and I don't intend on it, I did tell my mom though, she didn't have much to say and just told me never to mention it in front of her again.

I came out to a some people and a few family members during my last years of high school.
Then during my first year of college I was sorta "outted" by another kid to people (family) I was trying to come out to myself.
He was a member of my parents church whom I guess heard rumors and and found my myspace paged and showed it to his grandpa who happend to be the paster.
lame.
Anyway...lots of drama and complication.
Friends still accept me. Family still love me...there's just rules and stuff.
I've been out though for....over 6 years..
I'm almost 23 now.

I came out to two of my sisters and all my friends, and they all approve. But I have not come out to my mom. I'm terrified. She may think "oh, it's just a phase, you'll get over it" and I don't want that. I doubt she'd disown me. But I've given her plenty of clues. I'm always telling her I hate boys and I think they're stupid and all that. And I'm always talking to my girlfriend on the phone in front of her, giggling in that kinda, special lovey way. So yeah.

I came out in seventh grade. At first it was to fit in with my new friends. . . Then I fell in love with the girl I was with. It just happened. My first kiss was a girl. >.< She then became my roomate, and now is my god sister. It grew to where we just felt awkward because we were so close. She's still my best friend.
I was accepted by a handful of people, but the majority didn't see eye to eye as we did. They thought we were evil freaks and wierdos who just wanted easy sex. That wasn't the case. We were open friends and a circle of girls (and one to three guys, depending on the time) who knew who we were and knew that if we wanted acceptance, we would have to look within ourselves.
My mom asked me about it when she had a hunch. I learned things about that woman I never knew before. She told me that what I want, she wants for me (as long as I won't destroy myself along the way). She told me that she had gone through this before and that I shouldn't be afraid to tell her these things.
My grandma on her side is gay. She has a life partner and It's all I have ever known on her side. I have a gay uncle who hasn't settled down yet. I have lesbian aunts who I love dearly; I was raised around gays. I have known nothing but acceptance to them. It was natural that I became one and am not asshamed of it.
The love of my life is bi. He told me before we dated, and I told him that I was okay with it. When we went out, he was nervous because he didn't know how I was going to handle dating a mostly gay boy. I did just fine, didn't I?
Well, that's my story on why I am what and who I am.

I've known since i was six that I was different than the rest of my family. At the time, I didn't know why I felt different. I haven't come out only because my family would look at me differently and the sad thing is, my dad and sister absolutely hates anyone who thinks that a relationship doesn't have to be just between a man and a woman. My mum, however, says she doesn't care which way my sister and I go, but I know for a fact she doesn't like different people.
I don't know when I'll ever tell her, anyone for that matter. I thought about before I leave home, but I'm not sure. Heh. Today [10.30.09] I nearly burst out laughing when my mum said to a councilor [I have some mental issues] that I had no desire for a boyfriend. To be honest, I don't like guys. There are a few that I consider cute, but guys are revolting to me.

I came out when I was 14. I told my mom that I am gay. It was rather awkward. But, she accepted me, just like my dad. And I actually told my friends about a year, two years later. Every single of them accepted it, which is totally awesome. c:

My situation is complicated. I consider myself somewhere in between being "out" and "closeted." I've known myself to be "not straight/not-cisgender" for a long time, but it wasn't until maybe 5 years ago that I understood who I was completely. I pretty much do whatever I want socially, and sleep with the people I want to sleep with. I don't announce my sexual orientation/gender identity. I just don't see the point of announcing it. I am who I am. If you ask me, then I will answer.

I didn't come out myself. I came out to my friends and my dad found out on his own and told my mom. exciting, right? I was hoping for a bit more drama while at the same time, I was glad there wasn't any drama. I don't know. I don't really care. What's done is done; I'm ashamed of nothing.

A: have you come out yet?
B: If you did are you accepted?
C:If you have not come out yet when do you plan on coming out?
I have come out. My mom pretty much asked me if I was gay when I was eighteen. I told her yes and she walked out of the house, went to find my dad, and didn't talk to me about it. I was shocked and for a while I resented her for just walking out on me and not giving me the oppertunity to talk to my dad, the man in my life that I had respected most probably. then I got over it. We started fighting. I started defending myself. she told me I was wrong and said I was going to Hell, I said so be it I still love God and girls are still my prefference and that was that. I don't bring girls home. occassionally I let my sisters (older) meet the girls I talk to, but they usually find something to coplain about. it's not specifically because I'm gay though, just because they don't approve of how I let women treat me. so yeah. it's been rough. I was came out around sixteen to most though and finished with my parents at eighteen.

A: have you come out yet?
funny story, my mom walked in on me kissing a girl and gave me the adam and eve lecture. (you can only guess) so after that i stayed straight but couldn't for long. when i was about 15-16 i fell head over heels for a pre-op ftm and found out i was pansexual, it was only recently i stopped lying to myself and decided to live. but i will sit my mom down sometime when i'm ready and tell her.
B:If you did are you accepted?
My friends and some family accepts me, but my dad won't, i know for sure and my mom may be more willing since its a possibility that i may find my perfect one through male...even though it could also be through transgender, female, ect.
C: If you have not come out yet when do you plan on coming out?
Some time in the next year or so.

I came out when I came here to Florida last year.
Not to my family 'cause they're homophobes.
On my first day of school!
I said to myself "Forget Utah! I'm in Florida now!"
and most people has accepted me!
>w<
I was kinda scared at first though. . .

I've come out to my mom and one of my sisters, also all of my close friends. Everyone was accepting and all.
