Discussion: Coming Out Stories. - Page 5

Hollywood.

I was gonna come out when I lived in Vancouver to my parents, cause then nothing would really happen, except we don't talk for a few month. But never got the chance to tell them.

I should probably do it when I'm not dating anyone though, I could only imagine bringing a guy home and telling them.

I went to Sonic with my 2 blonde best friends (btw idk why I put they were blonde it has no relevance to the story) and the carhop brings us our stuff and he was FINE he had AMAZING hair and he was just ugh lord. He kept staring at me and myself or my friends could not figure out why and the next thing you know he asks me "are any of these 2 females your girlfriends" and I replied "no they're my friends" and he goes "are you gay" and my heart sank and I immediately started to get anxiety/panic and I said "no sorry" and he goes "take it as a compliment." For the rest of the night we just laughed (i pretended) and made jokes about it. This was the first time in 17 years ANYONE has ever hit on me I was so surprised and looking back I wish I told "Sonic Boy" the truth because he was so fine ugh regrets.
Anyways later that same night I was home and I was really depressed and my anxiety was kicking the **** out of me, I realized I had to tell my 2 blonde friends. So I texted them basically saying "I'm gay" along with things like "my lack of confidence and self-esteem makes this extremely difficult." Those are the only 2 people I ever told and one of them blabbed and told our circle of friends and then lied to me about it so that caused drama but in essence they did my dirty work for me. However I wish they didn't betray my trust.
Unfortunately I have not told anyone in my family yet I wish I could but I can't I know they will hate me, ignore me etc. I just want to be loved and not be afraid of being confident/open with my sexuality but I'm just not. For example I started a new job about a month ago and I made friends with a lot of people there and there are quite a few gay kids my age who work there. Today this one girl who I've gotten close to goes "Can I ask you a question, are you.....why are you so weird?" I knew she was going to ask if I was gay but backed out, who knows why. That made me so depressed and basically ruined my day, I wish I could be comfortable with my sexuality.

I know whoever is reading this probably thinks I am a really shy introverted kind of a kid but in actuality I'm not shy and I'm actually pretty funny and I'm great with people

honey, you don't need to give us explanations, you're brave and i'm pretty sure that a lot of people here and your friends appreciate you, i would like to give you a big hug and smile but i can't because you're so far away, you just live your life, put "So happy I Could Die", close your eyes and smile for the future

I had a best friend who told everybody in I was gay, after a while I told everybody he was lying, but then it kicked in. I was answering everybody saying yes, and whoever says "ew", then I just answer with a "then why the **** did you ask me? did you want the dick or somethin'?"

Normally I'm shy with this stuff, but I just got confident and told people the truth. One time my homophobic maths teacher allowed a homophobic comment being thrown at me from another student ( who has a great ass. ), but I stood up to her and said "Aren't you going to do anything? This is the 8th time that you've allowed homophobic bullying in this classroom, and I'm sick of it. The girl you sent out has tried to commit suicide many times because of bullying, and you just sit your ass on the seat drinking coffee whilst the projector runs the maths questions." I got sent out for that, but everybody applauded me. She then asked me if I was gay, and I replied "yes, I am." She is Catholic, therefore she apparently has the right to allow gay bullies to bully me.

What a turd of a person. She's the danger to the school, imo.

I might have the most boring coming out story. Aside from everyone being surprised (it's not like I ever gave off any "signs" of being straight either), I had a super natural progression, and it's all gone very well. Best friends first, in late summer/early fall '10, then over the next few months I told more friends, until all of my close friends knew by the end of the school year. Also told my siblings in early 2011, and I swore to myself that I'd tell my parents before high school graduation, so I did. Literally the week leading up to graduation I told them. They were thrown for a loop and my mom was a little freaked out for awhile (she's simply more emotional than my dad), but it was all okay by the time I went to college. I haven't really lost anybody over it, which is sadly a privilege.

7th grade when I saw these hot guys at disney flirting..yea..
But I'm not out to my parents, because my mom stereotypes gays all the time and my sister is homophobic and would be like "OH MY GOD WHY!!". I'm out to my friends and everyone else though
