ComingOutStory
#22990
This Tropers coming out to his mom was very anti-climaxic. We were both very drunk. #QUOTE# '''Mom:''' Son... Forget it. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' No, tell me. #QUOTE# '''Mom:''' ...Are you gay? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' ... Yup. #QUOTE# '''Mom:''' Do you have a boyfriend? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Nope. #QUOTE# '''Mom:''' Too bad.
#22991
This bisexual troper's ridiculously circuitous ComingOutStory is three-quarters complete, and so far very anticlimactic. Which is surprising, given that I live in Texas. Most people, including my father and my very best friends, were either supportive or simply "meh". Now I just need to tell my half-crazy Filipina mother...
#22992
This troper's best advice? Make a causal reference to an ex of your same gender. If you treat it casually, so do they.
#22993
If you're lucky.
#22994
Invoked and inverted by this troper to make everyone know he ''wasn't'' gay. He had never had a girlfriend, was effeminite, looked like a girl in his early to teen years, hung out with plenty of yaoi fangirls and would admit to any StupidSexyFlanders moments. Because of this, everyone thought he was gay. Eventually he got tired of it and decided to "come out". Of course everyone thought that I was behind a TransparentCloset and was prepared to say, "We know" in unison. To quote myself: #QUOTE#Me: "Guys, there's something I need to tell you all... I'm straight."
#22995
What's really funny is being asexual. "I'm not really into girls." "Oh.. umm.. nothing wrong with that!" "Not into guys either, stop worrying." The funniest part? I'm pretty sure I'm bi-romantic.
#22996
This openly gay troper's story was quite... bizarre. Because he's a StraightGay a few friends were taken by surprise. But when he told is Mom he was met with this remark: #QUOTE#Mom: Honey, I want you to know that I appreciate you telling me, and I'm glad you feel like you're able to, I just want you to be happy, but, I don't care how gay you are honey, go clean your room.
#22997
This troper experienced the consequences of what happens when a friend comes out but only tells some people; this troper didn't know her friend was a lesbian until she and her girlfriend started making out. Well, that's one way to share the story, I guess.
#22998
This troper came out rather publicly at a cast party, after much {{Gayngst}}/{{Wangst}}. Absolutely everyone was incredibly supportive about it. I'm still waiting on the wider repercussions, but I'm grateful to the cast.
#22999
This straight troper just assumes that everyone he meets is gay, that way if they come out on him it won't be so surprising.
#23000
This lesbian troper wants to give the above straight troper a kiss. On the cheek.
#23001
But this gay male troper thinks that's just a little silly.
#23002
I do the same thing, only assume they're bi.
#23003
This troper's friend had a funny story about how she came out to her mother at dinner one night. She looked over at her mother and said "Mom, I'm gay. Pass the salt." It took her mother a full minute before she realized what her daughter had said.
#23004
This bisexual troper has come out to everyone but her parents, who she thinks are aware of the fact.
#23005
Update, this troper is almost certain that her mother knows.
#23006
When this troper told her parents she had a girlfriend, she was expecting them to be surprised, seeing as she's supremely girly. Instead her parents laughed and told her an adorable story of how, at 4 or 5, she had told them that she wanted to marry a girl because then the wedding would be "extra-pretty", she would have twice as many clothes and would have someone to do her hair nicely every day, and then said that it just goes to show that sometimes kids know what they're talking about.
#23007
This troper had no trouble whatsoever telling her parents and sister, but in fact telling her friends at sleepaway camp. Given that, you know, it was ''sleepaway camp'' and she shared a bunk with 16 other girls, she was understandably nervous. Most of the reactions were of the "we're happy you trusted us" variety.
#23008
This gay male (as of yet) eternally single Troper is in the TransparentCloset. The following dialogue occurred once while I was visiting my family: #QUOTE#Father: "You really need a girlfriend." #QUOTE#Sister [grinning]: "...or a boyfriend!" #QUOTE#Father [nodding, dead serious]: "...or a boyfriend."
#23009
One of this troper's friends decided to come out in the middle of a game of Magic. My response: "That's nice, I was wondering. Now, is it my turn or yours?" Another friend, playing against a different friend, chose that moment to admit that he was bi. Our response was pretty much the same.
#23010
This Troper likes to call that the "Excuse me for not caring, but I am being busy not giving a shit"-response. One of these days that will be the default, just you wait.
#23011
This troper would have been a little upset by that response. It might not be a big deal to you but its generally a pretty big deal to the person coming out.
#23012
And how am I supposed to know that that was his first attemt to come out?
#23013
A friend of mine (forget this troper) just came out to me a few weeks ago as a Bisexual. He seemed somewhat shifty in attitude about telling me, but still a bit on the BiTheWay side of things, so I decided to mess with him a little: #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' But yeah dude, I'm Bi, just so ya know. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Oh, cool. So how's your schedule this week? We should hang out. #QUOTE# '''Friend [confused look]:''' Wait, what? #QUOTE# '''Me [wide grin]:''' Heheh.
#23014
For me myself, however, whenever I come out to anyone as {{Asexual}}, it's usually treated as "Yeah okay." among friends, but looked at rather negatively by everyone else. Ya win some ya lose some.
#23015
This troper's pretty open with his friends, but his parents don't know yet (and let me tell you, they shall have an apoplexy apiece when they are told). My little sister, however... Well. She figured it out on a drizzly March afternoon while we were playing chess and it went down something like this: #QUOTE# '''Sister:''' Dude, are you gay? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Uh. Yes? #QUOTE# '''Sister:''' Ha, knew it. Linda owes me five bucks. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' How'd you figure it out? #QUOTE# '''Sister:''' Dude, I'm not headless. I think our parents are in denial, by the way.
#23016
I had a fairly simple and easy coming out, but I've gotten some fun reactions. Like this little conversation during an anime convention: #QUOTE# him: (mentions being bi-sexual like his aunt) #QUOTE# me: "that's really funny, because I'm a lesbian like my aunt." #QUOTE# him: "you like girls too? we have so much in common!"
#23017
This troper is straight but I have encountered an oddly DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything situation when I admitted to my parents that I ship noncanon in Harry Potter.
#23018
Ahaha, I've had similar experiences. I'm never quite sure when to reveal to a friend that I'm a huge slash shipper, and it's always hard to gauge whether they'll agree with me or be weirded out by it. Ah, the lives of fandom geeks.
#23019
This troper's nephew came out to him when the nephew was in high school - and from his reaction, he clearly expected the news to have one of several different effects on me. The conversation went like this: #QUOTE# '''Nephew:''' Uncle Wayne, I'm gay. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' And...? #QUOTE# '''Nephew:''' Uncle Wayne, I'm gay! #QUOTE# '''Me:''' And...? #QUOTE# '''Nephew:''' Uncle Wayne, ''I'M GAY!'' #QUOTE# '''Me:''' AND!?!
#23020
I'm bi (well, technically pansexual, but that's usually too much of a bother to explain), and most of my coming out has been a huge fail. Well, with my friends, it's been a non-issue, which is fantastic, though I wasn't expecting it to be a big deal since we're all yaoi fangirls and really passionate about gay rights anyways. But with my parents...well, I'm not sure if my dad knows, and I'm pretty positive my mom doesn't believe me. My sister takes a similar stance as my mom, and just rolls her eyes if I try to mention it. They think I'm gay-obsessed because of all the slash fic, and that I'm doing this because I think it's cool or something. {{Facepalm}}. It's pretty frustrating when you've finally come up with an identity that feels completely right after years of confusion and gayngsting, and the people who matter most don't even respect it for what it is.
#23021
This hetroromantic asexual troper is trying to decide how to come out to his parents and sister, having almost gathered the courage to mention it to his mother (my parents divorced). Until then, I'm acting as if I'm hetrosexual, so I suspect the reactions will be...interesting, to say the least.
#23022
This troper will probably never come out to her parents.
#23023
*hugs*
#23024
Thanks. :'D
#23025
You're not alone on that one sadly. D:>
#23026
This aromantic asexual troper has no idea how to come out to her parents, and may, in fact, never do so. Why? Because her parents will undoubtedly send her to a hospital and run a million tests and try to 'cure' her if she ever told them.
#23027
This Troper had a sensible coming out with her parents, but is now at a new college and loves to catch people by surprise: #QUOTE#'''Helpful Girl Sitting Next To Me in Seminar''': That's Ms. H. She's a complete lunatic. And I saw her buying bras with her girlfriend once. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Oh, she's gay? #QUOTE#'''HGSNTMS''': Yep. Weird, huh? We all knew, like, way before she told us. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Wow, you're lucky. My gaydar is notoriously crap. #QUOTE#'''HGSNTMS''': Oh? #QUOTE#'''Me''': Yeah, I was absolutely sure my girlfriend was straight until she kissed me. #QUOTE#'''HGSTNMS''': *blinks*
#23028
This Troper managed to avoid the issues in High School when he came out by capitalizing on an argument and the cynical natures of the more "Social Conservative" in his group of friends. #QUOTE#'''Friend 1''': So, are you gay or something? #QUOTE#'''Troper''': Nope. #QUOTE#'''Friend 2''': Are you bi? #QUOTE#'''Troper''': Yep. #QUOTE#'''Friend 1''': What's the difference really? #QUOTE#'''Troper''': The difference is it pisses people off when they can't figure out the difference. #QUOTE#'''Friend 1''': ...Touché, you asshole, touché.
#23029
This Troper's gotten a variety of responses. Some people he's never talked to had the "Yeah, we knew" response, while his own brother was completely shocked by the revelation. Everyone's been very supportive, though.
#23030
This troper has had several different instances where I had to come out to someone. Most of the time, people don't care or don't expect it, and we just go on with our day normally after that. Occasionally, though, it doesn't go over that easily. Take the day I told my family, for example. I told my dad, and he was fine. I told my mom, and she blames my dad. I told my sister, and she argues with me. Also, take Coming Out Day. There was a rumor about me being full-out gay, so I used Coming Out Day to clear it up, as well as for the intended purpose (which I was already going to do). This starts a Facebook argument within 10 minutes, and I get blamed for causing drama.
#23031
My brother's coming out was a little odd. I just said "Okay," and that was that, but then our mom started raising a fuss over my anti-climactic reaction. It makes me rather curious as to how she reacted when he told her. Anyway, I'm mostly gay/bi-with-a-strong-preference-for-girls, so she'll have to go through it all over again eventually. That'll be interesting, because she'll also be realising she has no straight children at all - and my openly homouncomfortable Grandma has no straight grandchildren.
#23032
My story is a bit long and complicated. Okay, here goes... *deep breath* I think it all comes down to the fact that I didn't figure out that I'm bisexual until I was 18. In hindsight I think I kind of knew before that, but was completely in denial about it. Anyway, I do know that all of my friends and my parents (or at least my mom, which is the only parent who counts) are perfectly okay with stuff like that and will accept me for who I am. The problem is that it still feels like kind of a big deal to tell everyone, and every time the subject comes up and I fail to tell them because I'm scared/nervous it becomes an even bigger deal. And now, a year and a half later, I have chickened out of telling them so many times that when I do tell them, I'm afraid that they'll think that I'm weird for not telling them when I had the chance. It has (in my mind, at least) become a vicious cycle that I have no idea how to break, and it's really tiring. I have a few friends who know, however, but they are people that I have known for a relatively short time, and it was somehow easier to tell them, because they don't know my older friends, and I don't have the same history with them. And yes, I do realise that the problem is all in my head and that my friends, who have known and loved me for almost a decade (and my mom who has known and loved me for ''two'' decades, and is my mom) will all still love me after the big reveal, but it's still hard. That is all, I think. *phew*
#23033
This troper has just started coming out to his friends (which, as said friends are spread out between colleges across the Upper Midwest, is more labor-intensive than it should be) and knows how you feel. The worst part for him was stressing out to the point of feeling violently ill before, and feeling shaken after. Having hug-prone friends helps.
#23034
This troper is in a...confusing situation: she has not told her parents or siblings that she is bi, and probably never will. She has told one trusted teacher, and a friend who asked her straight out (she is not counting internet acquiantances). There is another friend whom she would tell if asked, but who has not. She has another friend who is of the firm opinion that this troper is straight, and has said so to a mutual friend who suspects that this troper is gay. Her main concern, however, is that she will likely be taking a trip soon--a trip on which she will have the opportunity to meet the girl she has a horrible crush on (it was that very strong desire for this friend that finally made said troper come out to herself), and must figure out a way to keep things straight, as this is one of the people she would probably ''not'' come out to (though maybe, if asked, which is unlikely). All in all: this troper would very much like to be out, but is terrified; hence she considers herself in but peeking out the door and proud.
#23035
It's nice to have this big support group here.
#23036
Here's an interesting story about a friend (a gay male) that I heard from a mutual female friend (this also happens to be the story of how they became friends). She had just moved to the area a short time before this when the not-yet-openly gay guy and his female friend came up to her. Here's how the conversation went: #QUOTE# '''Gay Guy''': "Hi, what's your name?" #QUOTE# '''Girl''': "Jessica" #QUOTE# '''Gay Guy''': "I'm Drew. By the way, I'm gay and you're the second person I've told."The first being his female friend who lived next door and had been his friend for a long time
#23037
I did pretty much the same thing, to the poor girl's bafflement. It just feels ''good''; like you're being unusually brave today.
#23038
Due to a friend of mine being Ambiguously Bisexual, I am unsure as to whether we are IncompatibleOrientation or in the JustFriends, She Is Not My Girlfriend (But I Totally Wish She Was) stage of a {{UST}} OfficialCouple thing. We do the whole Finishing each other's sentences thing. It's uber-cute. My coming out to her when we first met was...amusing. #QUOTE#'''Me''': ...so they asked my ex-girlfriend, and - #QUOTE#'''Tempe''': - now, when you say girlfriend, do you mean - #QUOTE#'''Me''': Yes. #QUOTE#'''Tempe''': And are you - #QUOTE#'''Me''': Yes. #QUOTE#'''Tempe''': ...awesome.
#23039
I am pansexual, and there is only one person who i have told that to: My brother. When i told it, and explained what it was, he let out a long heartwarming speech to make me stop worry about myself (I wrote it down, so that is why i remember it so clearly): #QUOTE#'''Brother:'''"Do you think that you really are that different? You should not be worried. Many more persons feel the same. You are not a bad person. There is nothing wrong with your love. It does not matter if you are Gay or Bi, I will always be loving you because you are my brother. When we found out that you have Aspergers, i thought and realised that, you are not that different from before and after the confirmation. Same thing is what i feel right now. You are not different from before. You have just merely unveiled the names of the things that makes you what you are. I feel nothing but a little suprise. You know what would be a true commotion? If I, turned out to be gay. Because I have friends, who have lived with me mostly trough my whole life. And I have a straight reputation, and i had girlfriends. Speaking of, Some of them are in same school as you, and they asked me if You really are my brother. I have always said "yes, He is my brother". "But you are nothing alike!", Well they are morons. You truly are my brother and I will always love you for who you are. You are special in one way however, and that is that You had the courage to talk about your sexuality. That was very strong of you. #QUOTE#I can understand your worry for telling me this though. I won´t tell anyone. And unless you tell them, or fall in love with a Transvestite openly, they will not find out. It is nothing to worry about. It truly isn´t. There are definely much worse things out there, that actually are bad you know? Necrophilia and Pedophiles for example. But you are neither of those. You are someone without difficult problems.
#23040
The best part was after a while, when he said this: #QUOTE#'''Brother:'''"I promise i will never browse through your computers history."
#23041
This Troper hasn't come out as Bisexual yet. She's rather scared of her fathers would be reaction. As he just has to be a conservative republican catholic who doesn't support gay rights. When she does how ever she'll have some sort of interesting tale to tell...Sigh.
#23042
This Troper was in the same position, except her dad is a liberal, strong athiest and (if lived in America) would more than likely vote Democrat. However this troper believed that he had no problem with other LGBT's, just not his own kids/family. She did misjudge him and he was fine when she came out as Bi. And she can understand how it may be a lot harder for you with religion and right-wingedness involved. But if he loved you, he'd understand. (:
#23043
OP here, Thank you for your encouragements. Means alot!
#23044
This troper came out to her close friends with relative ease. Getting it to be common knowledge was a little more difficult. She's a bit fuzzy on the details, but this troper was told that she got horrendously drunk at a friend's party, came out to everyone, then hit on half the girls there. Godammit.
#23045
This bisexual troper has just come out. It's currently just past midnight, and I came out on facebook. Why come out at this ungodly hour of the morning? Because I knew that if I left it for another time, I'd have chickened out (like the last three times I tried coming out). You see, for some people (like me), coming out is like jumping into a swimming pool at the beginning of summer when the water's still freezing. If you stand at the side of the pool and think about it for too long, you lose confidence and end up abandoning your swim. If, on the other hand, you jump the moment you feel the urge to, you end up swimming. Right now I'm still quivering a little bit, and my heart is still beating faster than usual from the nerves... But I feel liberated! As Caesar said when he crossed the Rubicon, "alea jacta est" -- "the die is cast". This was my Rubicon moment: there's no turning back. During the upcoming afternoon, I'm going to re-post my coming out status for the benefit of those who might not see it (after all, just about all the sensible people are sleeping right now). And I'm also going to tell certain people -- close friends and family members -- the news in person. By the way, my coming out status was as follows: "Some of you already know this, some of you will probably turn against me when you find out. But I've decided I can't wait any longer to tell this to everyone I know. The fact is, I'm bisexual, and I've decided to come out. If any of you don't like that, feel welcome to de-friend me. Thank you".
#23046
This troper's son: "Dad, I'm, uh, gay." This troper: "As long as it's not illegal what you do with your penis is none of my business. Do you want biscuits or cornbread with dinner?" This troper's son: "Biscuits!"
#23047
Follow on conversation about a week later: This troper's son: "Dad, are you sure it doesn't bother you that I'm gay?" This troper: "Only in that this means your brother is our best hope for grandchildren."
#23048
This troper has a fairly simple coming out story. I told my friends in high school that I was bisexual and they were all cool with it (with the exception of my boyfriend at the time. He's fine with me now, but I think having me come out while dating him spooked him.) I haven't told my parents or most of my family and probably won't until it actually becomes important, ie I get a girlfriend. When I meet new friends, how open they seem and who I meet them through depends on when I tell them; if I'm with female friends when meeting a new person it's usually apparent because I flirt shamelessly with my girl friends. If I angst, it's usually about "I really like this guy, but when should I tell him I'm bi?".
#23049
This troper had a Crowning Moment Of Funny when he came out before his parents. Both of them managed to surprise this tropper positively and make him facepalm in the same second:
#23050
Troper: "Mom, I'm bi"
#23051
Mother: "Well, you can do whatever you want with your heart... BUT YOU WON'T MAKE OUT WITH ANYONE IN THIS HOUSE, YOU PERVERT!"
#23052
Troper: "Not even women?"
#23053
Mother: "Nope. One has to be egalitarian with such things"
#23054
His father managed to top her:
#23055
Troper: "Pops, I'm bi"
#23056
Father: "It is something you eat?"
#23057
Troper: "FATHER!" *proceeds to explain*
#23058
Father: "So... Did you get parts for everyone?"
#23059
Troper: "FATHER! I'M BISEXUAL, NOT HERMAPHRODITE, DAMN IT!"
#23060
Father: "What's that?"
#23061
(And no, his father wasn't kidding or trolling at all)
#23062
This troper's coming out was stressful to say the least. I already knew my mother, grandmother, and aunt/uncle would support me, I was less certain about my brother and father. So, I cam out to my mother via email, sent it to her, then went to school, because I knew she'd be at work when I got home. That went well. The grandmother came later, and she was okay with it, and the aunt and uncle learned over Facebook, also okay with it. All were at least a little surprised, though. My friends, less so. Apparently, to them, I was in a Transparent Closet. My brother took it well, be we have all agreed that my father will not learn, because we are all sure it will not end well. I just sent Facebook messages to the last of my friends who don't know, so hopefully all are at least okay with it.
#23063
My bisexual coming out. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Mom, I need to tell you something. #QUOTE#'''Mom''': Yes? #QUOTE#'''Me''': ...I'm bisexual. #QUOTE#({{Beat}}) #QUOTE#'''Mom''': No, you're not. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Yes, I am. #QUOTE#'''Mom''': No, you're ''not''. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Yes, I ''am''. I've had a crush on Taylor Lautner. #QUOTE#'''Mom''': So? I've had crushes on girl's before. P!nk is so hot. #QUOTE#'''Me''': Whatever. Just don't tell anyone, okay? Not Keely, not Mammaw, not Gary, and ''especially'' not Pappaw. #QUOTE#'''Mom''': You can be sure of that.
#23064
About a month later, after an incident with her labtop, my mother is still the only one who knows. She's become very accepting of it. My stepdad just chose to ignore it, and everyone else doesn't know. Yay?
#23065
This Troper came out as lesbian to her entire high school at an assembly after an LGBT event was announced. This was not planned. Turns out the worst thing that happens when you come out at her school is that you get mobbed by people who want to hug you. (This is only a problem if you are like This Troper, who HatesBeingTouched.)
#23066
Mine was anticlimactic, to say the least. It took place in an IT lesson. Some girls nearby were talking about how some guy was a jerk because he was being a dick to this bisexual girl because of it. Oddly, that was about the fourth conversation about bisexual people I'd heard that day. But anyway; #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Seems a lot of people are talking about bisexuals today.. #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' Hm. Is it making you uncomfortable? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Nah. ... [friend's name]..? #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' Yeah? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' m bisexual... #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' Huh? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' I'm bisexual.. #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' Ok. That was it really..
#23067
This Troper got to have the interesting experience of coming out as Straight but Polyamorous to his lesbian mother. The actual conversation was pretty painless, but it was an interesting thing to consider.
#23068
This tropette paniced for weeks before finally coming out to their parents. Turns out they had guessed this troper was a lesbian since they were about twelve which means they had a good guess for about six years. Pleasantly anti-climatic :)
#23069
This troper came out recently while texting his friend. The conversation went like this- #QUOTE#Troper- "Well, I don't want to tell you who my crush is" #QUOTE#Girl I'm friends with- "Why not?" #QUOTE#Troper- "You know!" #QUOTE#GIFW- "Is it (name of male crush)?" #QUOTE#Troper- "How did you know?"
#23070
She didn't really care, and our friendship hasn't changed at all.
#23071
This troper was rather confused at the fact that she had to "come out" as asexual. The responses were odd.
#23072
I told someone that I may be asexual, and he responded with "That's not good! D:"
#23073
Another male friend came out immediately after I destroyed my closet. "I'm asexual." "Asexual?" "Yeah, I feel nothing toward anyone. Ever." "Oh, ok. I'm the exact opposite." "...What?" "I'm bisexual ." "Ok, then!"
#23074
Others responded with a general "WTF? Dude, you need to get laid." No. No I don't!
#23075
This troper came out as an aromantic asexual to several of her friends during one highschool graphics lesson. Their response? "this is new information?"
#23076
This troper first came out to her mother in middle school, but unlike the trope likes to pretend, there is no one coming out. Some matter more than others, like parents and best friends, but in the end coming out is a life long process. Every time you make a new friend, go somewhere new, you have to get up the courage to do it again. It gets easier with practice, but on a bad day everyone just looks like a ticking bomb.
#23077
This troper came out last year, about four months ago, to her family and friends. My Mom is annoyed and wants me to hide it, which is I *guess* okay, I mean, I don't live with her anymore. My grandma and dad were originally supporting, and now they don't believe me and think I just haven't met the right person. *Sigh*...
#23078
This Bisexual Tropette is in the middle of hers. Her dad and four of her best friends know for sure. Her mom ''might've'' seen her change her "interested in" on {{Facebook}}, but she hasn't mentioned it. (From now on, I'm using first person.) So the tropers were the first people to know, then the people on {{deviantART}}. Offline, the first person to know what my friend Cynthia, once she told me she was bi herself. My dad saw me change my "interested in" and mentioned it. I told my friend Tabitha right out (I think she was a little offended that I didn't trust her enough to tell her right away). With my friend Harriet, I casually dropped it into a conversation. And with Kyrsten... #QUOTE# '''Dakota:''' Ugh, I bet you whores like girls. #QUOTE# '''Tabitha:''' ''(eye roll)'' We do not. #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Yeah, I like guys ''too.'' #QUOTE# '''Kyrsten:''' Yeah D-- ''({{Beat}})'' wait.
#23079
This bisexual female troper has come out three times. The first time, I told my five closest friends in the typical, "I have something very important to tell you," at lunch, after they promised they wouldn't tell anyone. The second time I came out was in the girl's dressing room right before the final dress rehearsal. One of my friends, who was doing my hair, asked if anyone in our class was gay, and I raised my hand and said, "I'm half gay," which prompted a look of confusion before I clarified, "I'm bi." Everyone's reaction was surprise (mostly because I was ''the'' most innocent girl in the class) followed by happiness and support. It was made particularly hilarious, though, because about half an hour earlier, when I was complaining about my body, one of the girls told me, "Oh, don't say that! You've got an ''awesome'' donk!" and proceeded to ask if she could feel it (apparently, it's firm and nicely shaped). So, naturally, when I came out, I was asked if I liked it when she did that, which I answered by blushing madly and nodding. The third time I casually told my sister (and her friend who happened to be there) as we were running around the basement, gathering things to troll people on Omegle.

This troper came out to her mom (I am bisexual) at a gay pride parade unsure of what she would think (mom is Jamaican and doesn't really like homosexuals. Mom's response was a simple "OK". The only thing she cares about is grandchildren some day. I will never tell my dad because I know it will not go over well.
