My story isn't as dramatic as others... but it is still kinda interesting..
The first part happened when I was thirteen.. This wonderful exchange student from Japan was teaching me a little bit of self defense because I was picked on a lot for being so short.. I never could pronounce.. or spell her real name, but she told me to call her Lilly..
It was about month before she was due to go back home, and I felt kinda strange around her.. I had felt this way around one guy before, so it didn't freak me out or anything, I just didn't entirely understand what was going on.
I showed up for my lesson with her, and told myself I wouldn't let it bother me, or get in the way. Well.. I guess I had learned better than I thought, because I managed to get us so tangled up with eachother, that about all we could move easily was our heads, she smiled at me, and I kissed her..I was a little surprised when she kissed back..
Anyway, after that, I was trying to figure out why I felt that way toward her, so I went down to the library, and went through pretty much every book they had that even mentioned sex.. I didn't find what I was looking for in non fiction, but, in one fantasy/romance novel, I found what I was looking for... I don't even remember what one it was..
I went home, and was talking to a friend of mine on the phone, I told him what I had found out about myself that day, and he was very supportive to me, but insisted that I needed to tell my parents, but he warned me that they might not like it.
I went to my mom and dad later that night, and just told them I was Bi before I could think about being scared. They just looked at me and mom said. "So are we." I just kinda stared for a minute, then what she said sunk in, and I just burst out laughing, and crying... I went over to them, and hugged them both.
After that, I managed to tell all of my friends, a few stopped talking to me, but the rest were cool with it.
One of my friends just this last year came out to me.. Well, she didn't say "I'm a lesbian." or anythign like that... but she did ask me if I would be her girlfriend... So I think its pretty obvious.. Men come in three sizes.. Small, medium and Oh My God!

ok, here goes nothing. freshman year, drama class. sitting next to this guy i barley know, trippin out that im gay. ive known for about 2 months know, figured it out when i caught myself drawn to gay porn.... anyways. i turned to him and told him i had to tell him something. he was like whats up. i tried and tried to tell him, but couldent. so i finally wrote it down and gave it to him. he read it and was like, are you serious? after that i just kept telling people
my brother: one night, we were watching a movie on his computer, and i knew he would find out at school soon,(2 weeks after i came out at school) so i was like, bro, im gay, he was like really? thats fine. end of that
My mom: 2 nights later, eating dinner. my brother opens his big Friggen mouth and says hey mom, guess what, mikes gay. she FLIPPED!!!. she started screaming at me, telling me there was no way im gay. 3 years later (now) she still doesn't believe me totally . every time she tells me to get a girlfriend, im like or boyfriend, then she says "or boyfriend" kind of sarcastically quoting me.
now the whole school knows, and i dont get shit. they all know that if they say something, ill kick there asses. im a big guy!

I came out on my blog, well cos all of my close friends are on a different continent and it's a bit like being on stage as I could be more honest and open shouting it to the world then having a 1-1 conversation.
I felt I had to come out to my mom because I was seeing my husband at the time and I knew this was going to be a serious relationship and I didn't want it to be hidden for too long, even though it's my life etc, i can understand it would be difficult on her to know I've kept such a big thing from her. So I told her over a long-distance phone call and she's been in denial ever since over me being gay and my hubby.
So I had this crazy idea that me and him should fly over and meet her, sleep under her roof so we could rediscover each other. Nope, still in denial, but I got to meet up with friends who were really nice and show my hubby the places I grew up with.
I remember that me coming out to my mom, a single parent, who has never stopped punishing herself for everything, made her go straight to 3 priests to consult on this issue (HELL HELL HELL) and then beckoned me to go see a priest here in London. I don't know why I humoured her.
By the way, it'll be some time before I let her know her son's married to a gay man.

My mum asked me coz she thought something was going on and i had known by then for a couple of years and onli now it was taking its toll on me... the constant lying. i couldnt do it anymore ... she cried
i was so scared to tell my oldest brother as he has a strong dislike of them and he thinks being gay is "wrong" but he totally understood and being a winp he cried too.
My dad already knew and he lives in scotland so i can just ring him up and talk about it without gettin embarrassed (im quite a shy sorta person)
My other brother and his fiancee found out at the dinner table and it was such an awkward silence that seemed to last FOREVER an eternity. but everyone was totally cool about it a few friends no but considering i wasnt planing to come out until i was like well never i feel it went pretty well to be honest

Well, I suppose I should tell me story too.. I dunno if it will be as interesting to yall as it was for me, but here goes nothin
It was shortly after I found out I was pregnant that I realized guys just weren't really that interesting to me anymore, not sure if it was the circumstances behind it, or just something clicked inside, I dunno.. but I knew then that I was definately not as straight as I thought...
My best friend at the time (and current girlfriend) had just been through a pretty bad breakup with her ex-girlfriend.. I won't go into the details, because its her business to tell if she wants to.
I had known for quite awhile that she was Bi, and it never bothered me, I would even flirt with her just playin around. but now, I felt differently than I had before.. When I went to her that night, I felt something inside that I just don't know how to describe. She had been crying again.. so I moved to comfort her, held her for a few minutes, then.. I leaned in and kissed her.. I was as surpriesed as she was there, but that isn't important, she stopped crying, and started kissing back a little, thats when I pulled back, and asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend.
She told me that she would like that very much.. no those aren't her exact words, but if you want those, you can ask her about it. I'm not much of a writer, and I can't portray the emotion behind the words like she can.
I stayed with her that night, then the next morning, I went to my mom and told her that I was gay. At first she looked at me like I was crazy, then she asked me if I was joking.. Then she asked me if I had a girlfriend.. When I told her who it was, she imeditaely stopped talking, then when she spoke again, she was completely fine with it. I don't know if her knowing Kim as well as she does helped her to accept it, but it certainly didn't hurt.
I told my little brother next.. His reaction was a typical teenage male response to talking to a lesbian (or at least, typical for around here.) He asked, quite rudely I might add, if my girlfriend was hot. I told him who she was, and he said, "Oh, so yes then.." I punched him as hard as I could and walked off..
My grandparents were fine with it, and I caught a kindof. "Better Kim than the asshole she was with" attitude from my aunt... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZN-DLTxG-A

Well, I'm still not out ... but something interesting happened this year.
Over Christmas Break this past year I got really close to a guy. We ended up kissing and it went from there, and he was my boyfriend. Everyone knew he was gay, but nobody knew about me, and people started picking up on it (though everything was denied).
Well, I slipped to someone who swore on his soul not to tell.
The next day, the entire school knew. But after Trevor (my ex) and I broke up, things died down and everyone is under the impression that the guy who told was lying. So I'm not out, but it was an interesting few months for sure...

I just told my sister.
I've wanted to tell her for a lon time now, but everytime i got the chance i just hesitated and never got it out. So i sent her a text, saying i need to tell her something really important, and she came online to ask me what it was. (She lives with her boyfriend) So after some casual chatting i just said that i had a boyfriend, and that i'm bi.. She was a bit stunned, but then said she loves me still She told her boyfriend sho was also quite okay about it.
So far she's the only one i'm out to (Not including people i know on the net), and it feels great!
Thankies to my boyfriend who helped me get the courage to tell her. Love you!
