i actually planned on telling my mom in the next few days but i didn't get the chance to. My dad went on my screenname by accident and aol for some stupid reason doesn't like delete where you have been unless you x-d out of it, i didn't know that so i just exited out of aol. after i got home my mom is like what is up ith the gyc site? and i was like i like girls and guys. totally awkward. i am so mad she had to find out this way i totally did not want it to happen this way. she somewhat accepted it, except she said i want you to grow up and marry a guy and hav kids, such a great reaction, not.

I just came out to a really good friend of mine. He took it soo great. i told him and he was like this isnt that big of a deal and i was just sooo happy that he didnt take it really poorly. btw i have a really big crush on him and my friends and i think he might be gay also so im really hoping. =^D

Hey, just came out today

So i decided that I wanted to tell my sister that i was gay, first person in my family to know. I came up with a plan to tell her. I had planed where i was going to tell her and how i was going to tell her. but that plan blew out the window fast. so i decided to tell her in the house whilst my mum wasnt in. she was going out so i had little time... so i started calling her into the living room where i was sitting... but every time she came through i just choked and said that it was nothing. she went out and i decided i needed a new way to tell her if i cant say it myself.... so i took a piece of paper and wrote " nadia, i am gay. do you still love me" ... so about an hour passed and she came back.... she started doing something as soon as she came back. i called her in and just turned and looked at her and just froze with fear for about 30 seconds... so i eventually found the courage to say " can you keep a secret" , she said she could so i passed her the piece of paper... she sat down on the table whilst reading it.... she turned and said to me sarcastically " is this a joke", i said it wasnt. she asked if it was just a phase and i reasured her it wasnt. all of a sudden she started laughing at me and gave me a hug.

i was so relieved to see her reaction..... it was just so lifting.... like a weight had been taken off my mind.

Its the best feeling i have ever had, now all i have to do is get that courage back and tell my mum and my dad. my mum i dont think she would be bothered to be honest but my dad is a different story.... so i need to find that courage again to tell both of them.... especially my dad

i will write again saying how that went

I told one of my teachers two days ago...it was really wierd, but was nice.

Eh. The place I live and go to school at, the people are so freaking close-minded, I'm only kind of half-out.
I've told all the important people, except..my parents..eh, my dad's got a tendency to flip out and yell at me or brother, and my mom..
I was at my best guy friend's house, we were just sitting there playing video games, and out of the blue he asked if I was gay.
Not exactly random, though, because I pretended to date him for a while (but I think he noticed about me, since we never actually even kissed or anything like that). I've been his friend for four years, and I've never dated any guys.
So I pretty much clammed up and began stuttering something..He grabbed my shoulder and said, "Your player is repeatedly running into a wall, Lauren. What's going on?" (we're vid game geeks). So I just told him that I was bi, not gay...We're still best friends, but it gets awkward sometimes when he mentions other friends who are in straight relationships..He can't seem to grasp the simple concept of "liking guys and girls at the same time".

Also told my best girl friend, we were in the art room at my school, which is practically empty at lunch times..anyway, she stole my sketchbook.
Which is filled to the brim with shonen-ai/softcore yaoi and occasional yuri.
She looked at me like O__o WTF? so I just explained quietly.

Hehe My storys a little all over the place

First person i came out to was my Best Friend Catherine, She was really supportive even though it took me like an hour to say it, i beat around the bush for a really long time too

Then came my second best friend Lucy, she was happy i had the courage to tell her, and the trust to do so too.

Third was my friend JoJo, she didnt talk to me after that

Fourth was my cousin, she was really happy i told her,

Then my school friends (cus i go to an all boys school) i just told one of them after a night where i kissed a guy in my art class the night before , it was quite funny cus one of them was also told, and he told them (the cock) but it was like this
Are you bi?
No
Straight?
No
---Long silence while they all try and figure out whats left---
gay?
BINGO!

hehe, then came the ENTIRE school, Minor (really minor) bullying but nothing much

And then came the family
I was so nervous, i told my mum, she cried for hours, telling me how i was selfish (err...) but shes okay now, she told my dad the next day, he was totally fine, then My sister found out, But ive yet to tell my brother

All in all, it was a good experiance, and even though ive made --SOME-- enemies coming out, i dont care, im having waay too much fun

hmm...about a year and a quarter ago I realized that I wasn't attracted to girls...before that I told myself I was bi...but then I was like "no...I'm gay" and then maybe a month later I told some friends and had a positive response, then I told some more friends and got some more positive responses. A year later I told my parents and my dad was like "I accept you" and my mom was like "yay". So really nothing special. Oh except my dad was crying. that was funny.

Probably the least dramatic story on this thread but I didn't have the courage to tell the first and only person (so far) that I am gay to her face, I just told her on MSN and all I got was "Aw cool" LOL.

The next day I saw her in real and she gave me a big hug and we've stuck together like glue ever since then.

soo the story....
never really been attracted to girls....looked back to primary school and early secondary school
then when i was 14/15 BAM! "Ohhh thats why!"
accepted myself errrrr went on msn... and Accidentally Came out to my friend... she was cool with it
well that was the builidng block to self confidence in telling people im gay, of course it took quite a few people to build me up to the confidence that i can just say to people. Im gay!
Ohh how accidents can help you big time... i guess if id never done that it would still be a struggle for me now

I always guessed I was a little different and after something happened in Primary School I've always pretty much known since then that I preferred guys, although at the time I don't think I totally understood the whole straight/gay thing, I dunno, this is quite a few years ago now

Although I only just came out last year, secondary school was hell, I thought if I told my so called 'friends' the truth they would just leave me and shun me like everyone else did in my year. Once I finally left that shit hole I was a mess, I had absolutly no self confience, I had slowly been run into the ground over 5 long years of bullying.

I went to college in the city near me, not the one in my town, so took this chance to totally start again, no one knew me so I could do it easily. I slowly began to work through my problems and made probably the first ever decent mate I ever had. Only trouble is that he one of the guys that likes to think they are a 'man's - man' if you know what I mean?

So yeah, took quite awhile till I could finally get the courage to tell him but even then that was over msn, he was quite shocked but like a true mate was cool with it, then I just left anybody know, I don't care no more nowadays.

During school you spend everyday worrying about how your viewed or what people are saying about you behind your back, its causes so much grief and worry its not worth it. I came to the conclusion that you only live once so fuck it, have some fucking fun along the way and fuck what everyone thinks. As long as I'm happy with myself then its all cool and so the last 3 years of my life have been the best so far

Still haven't a guy since coming out last year though =/
