Dreaded coming out until my mum finally asked me out of the blue when I was 19, visiting for the holidays, and it was emotional but she was fine.

The saddest part was when she told my dad and he called me, and basically just apologised for not being the kind of father I felt comfortable with telling him that kinda thing in person.

I remember crying so hard after that phone call just out of relief - that this stupid giant, life ruining secret was finally out in the open and all was fine and nothing bad had happened and I realized just how silly I was to think coming out was going to be such a big deal. Of course for some people, and I feel deeply sorry for you, their coming out is not a happy-ending story, it's only the beginning of their troubles.

That being said - there is no greater freedom than simply being who you were born as, so buy Born This Way on iTunes (the album of the decade still!) and be who you are openly & proudly, as nobody will ever be happy living in secret.

Most gays don't even need to come out... like we already know

I just play a little Gaga and that's all they need to know I'm gay.

Coming out day....? Oh ok.


Grats to all the people who come out on this day.

I came out to my friends the morning after Valentine's Day in 2014

I saw all these happy couples (gay and straight) expressing their sexuality so confidently on Valentine's night in a club (it was also the first club I had ever been to and I was underage lol) and I wanted that so I bit the bullet and told my best friend at the time (who was out of the closet since he was born) the next morning. It was one of the best decisions I ever made

Ok... interesting

I came out of a glass closet to my twin sister on 5th September 2013, I then came out to my parents that same night, they said they still love me no matter what and it won't change a thing, I came out to my younger sister the day after and she said that's she glad I came out, my aunts and uncle have said nothing will change and they'll love me the same, my grandmother was the hardest, I came out to her a year after I came out to my parents and sisters, she still is coming to terms with it, I remember that night, I just said to her that I was gay and she said to me: "No, you're not!" I said: "Yes, I am!", she kept saying about how I always say things and stuff like that, but I have to remember that she grew up where homosexuality didn't really exist, I came out to my friend last year and she was so happy for me, I think she was trying to set me up with her friend and the last person I came out to was my other friend, I came out to him on 23rd February this year, he was very accepting, although he went off Facebook Messenger after I had told him, but he didn't care as it didn't change our friendship, it's still the same.

Not me coming to read cute stories and here's nothing.

Im on the DL........I have a GF..........thank god for grindr.....

yay it's important to be yourself and true to who you are
