"Coming Out" to Family About Sexuality

TeeHee. Coming out for me was pretty okay.. Cept i didnt really come out. I was really upset over some girl stuff and my mom said "Its [her name] isnt it?" I said yeah and she said she still loves me and all that junk. When I came out to my little sister when I was 13 she just asked me a bunch of questions. Basically almost everyone I told was okay with it.
And I live in Washington state and where I live people are pretty chill about that kinda thing. The pride parades are like the 3 biggest in the States.

Jonne Aaron.:

I'll probably never tell my parents, let alone anyone else in the family.

My mum's side are very old-fashioned, and they react badly to everything. Even my music taste has them looking down their noses at me, so I'd hate to think what would happen if they found out I was bisexual.

My dad's side isn't so bad, but I don't know how they'd react about it. My grandma would be fine, but knowing my uncles they'd be picking on me and stuff. Which I really don't want [nor need right now].

My parents... I'd rather they didn't know about it. I'm already a huge fuck-up kid in my mum's eyes, so yeah. And my dad's really hard to talk to about that sort of thing.

Yeah.

Scratch that.

Coming out to my parents took me months. Literally months.

I only came out to them because of some stuff that's going on, and it's got to the point where I need outside help [as in, a shrink] and yeah. I couldn't get the help without them knowing about what was going on and why, so I just... told them. It was really hard, actually, because there have been family members on my mum's side that I've heard and seen sitting there and going on about how disgusting, sinful, etc. homosexuality [and bisexuality too] is. And my mum's never really been alright with talking about it, even if I'm just mentioning that I'm doing an assignment on gay marriage for school. She's kind of in denial in a way, and keeps telling me it's all a phase and how she wants me to live a white-picket-fence life [which I definitely do not want, regardless of my sexuality].

Nobody else knows yet, family wise. I don't particularly want to tell my brother until he's older, as he's only nine. My grandparents and any other relatives can know once my head's all figured out, because the way I see it, I don't need their bullshit on top of what's already going on.

I'm straight, but if I was into girls however, I know my mom wouldn't care at all.
She's my best friend, and I know that she would love me however I was

My dad, I don't know about. I don't really know him anymore, and when I did, I was too young to realize whether he was or was not cool with it.

My step dad... Well I think he would flip shit, or just ignore me. But he's just crabby
hahah

I've never been attracted to guys, so I just kind of ignored everyone once it got to the point where everyone was talking about crushes and stuff like that at school once I got to middle school and such.

But then I met my current girlfriend, and that totally changed me. When we first met, she came straight out to me saying she's bi. At the time, at hadn't even considered that I might be lesbian. But now I've completely accepted it. And we're together now, five months now on Saturday.

I eventually told my mom, and she's fine with it. And I'm pretty sure my dad's fine with it. Only because when we go on vacation to this very gay accepting town, him and our friend Owen go into town and pretend to be gay for each other. It's quite hilarious.

But anyways, yeah.

Well i diden't have to come out
I've always been bisexual.
and i told them that when i was like... 8 after i saw my first porn :D
and they were cool about it

I thought I was bisexual for a while...and I told my brother. He freaked and was all, "That's so hot! Now I can talk to you about girls and even ask your opinion." I was like...wtf. I told a couple of my friends and they were like, "Oh, I already knew...you just..act like it." But when it came to telling my mom, I just couldn't do it. Because she's a homophobe and she always makes jokes.
But one time when I was in the hospital, she was going through a notebook of mine and saw a rant I had written down that said I was confused and believed I liked girls, and when we got home I got yelled at for two hours..and she told me she'd put me through a wall if I kept thinking that because I was not into girls.
So, yeah, I won't even think about girls anymore.. I just tell everyone I'm straight and that I was just confused and found out I was wrong.

I'm straight, but my brother's gay and he found it fine telling my mum .. i'm not even sure if he did actually tell her, or if she just knew. But he didn't like to mention it to my dad. He knows, and he's fine with it, but somehow he didn't wanna tell him.

Mum completely accepts it .. too much in my opinion. to the stage where he talks over dinner about all the 'things' he's been up to. it's rather disturbing.
But it's good that he feels he can talk about it. :)

I don't give my sexuality a name or a label because I don't think I can be sure yet. I've always loved my boyfriend, but have had no attraction to another male but I have to many females and have experimented with a couple girls before I got with my boyfriend 8 months ago.
But on the coming out note.. my mom asked how the movies were with Brittany and I told her the honest truth, thinking it'd be all okay since my mom is bisexual and had girlfriends in my childhood but she told me I was lying.
She told me that it didn't happen, like she was there or something. She told me I wasn't attracted to girls, like SHE knows who I'm attracted to.
She ignores me when I talk about girls and encourages me to stay with my boyfriend forever.
She's not okay with it. Hypocrite, but hey, she's done so many fucked up things that I don't even care what she thinks about what I do.
Someday I hope she sees me with a girl. Hah.

Jojo.:

I'm not sure with my sexuality. :shifty I mean, I'm just a kid, how could I know?
I had a crush who's a girl and I told that to my grandma. She's cool with it, I guess.

Then she told that to mom and my brother. And they were like O:
Damn they were about to freak out. :file:
I just told them it was a lie. :file: That I was just kidding.

I don't know. If ever in the future, I'm really bisexual or lesbian, I'm never ever gonna tell them 'cause I know what's gonna happen; they'll freak out, tell me I'm just seeking attention, tell me what I'm doing's wrong, then blame the people around me and the internet.

:file:

I'm not bi or lez (don't think, i'm a wittle person) but when I have kids and if they were bi/lez/gay, I'd be completely supportive with them.

Once upon a time, I thought I was straight. But I realized that I was in love with a girl, so I thought, "okay, straight with exceptions." Then I realized that I had a few too many exceptions to still be straight, so it became "bisexual." Now lately, I think it may be more along the lines of "lesbian with one or two exceptions."

Last year I went out with a girl, and I was guilty about keeping it a secret from everyone.
I used to live somewhere completely hostile to people like me, so it's understandable.
So I decided to come out to my mom first. We were watching a TV show that happened to have a bisexual girl and a lesbian that were dating. She turned to me and said, "Never do that to me. Never become anything like them."
So yeeeeeaah...
Needless to say, I didn't tell her.

I have decided I'm going to come out when I have a girlfriend for a while...
Damn I am dreading that day.

I'm bisexual. Almost my whole school knows, but my family doesnt. I'm afraid to tell them because after my sister came out they were really mean to her, worse then they actually were

I haven't told my mum yet, but that's only because I don't strictly know what I am yet. I think I'm pan, but she might just call it a fase. And it may be, but I know for sure that I like girls as well as guys. Oh Gawd, it's so complex.

I came out to my mum today!
I feel really relieved. It was actually surprisingly easy, once I got started.

I will probably never come out to my parents because they are homophobes and they'll either kick me out of the house or beat me to death and I think they'll do the second thing and I'm not kidding.
It's kinda hard for me, but when I'm older and maybe have a girlfriend I'll never come back home. (: I just want to be free and do my thing, I mean like, my mom won't even let me decide what I want to be when I'm older. :/
and I already got beat up because some stupid kid told the whole school I'm a lesbian and my sister heard it and went to my mom, all I wanted to was to crawl to the corner of a room and die. That's not normal, how could your parents even lay their bare hands on you!

Fangs Up.:

Hey you wanna be my girlfriend so you can come out? Nah, just kidding.

Felt like saying this. XD

My mom just knows I like all people. I'm a very open minded kid, and she just assumed. She was cool with it, but still hopes I marry a man and have children, though she knows that is not happening.

I told my grandma like this:

Me: "Grandma, I like boys and girls."

Grandma: "Well, that doesn't surprise me."

I love my grandma.

^ I hope my Grandmother takes it like that. xD
