So just post your story. I guess that means I go first.
Well, I've never been any good with talking to people about nervous things to their face, so I've always the easy way: Writing notes. I told my sisters I was bi, no problem, it was especially easy to tell my older sister since she was also bi. I had wanted for years to tell people about me! I told all my friends and my sisters, but I had not yet told my parents. So a couple of months ago, in March actually, I felt it was time to face my fears and tell my mother. I grabbed a sheet of paper from the printer and a nice thick ballpoint pen. I wrote to my mom that I liked both guys and girls and that I was no different than before she knew, and reminded her I was still her child. She took it unbelievably well. She came down, hugged me, and said that we'd talk about it later. We did, and we jsut talked about how I knew I was bi, and that I had to tell her about my first experience with a girl. It was wonderful. I have not yet told my father.

Lemme see, i have a few good coming out storie but my best is probs about when I came out to one of my absolute best friends last summer. We were sitting in our friends apartment and my friend had gone out so it was just us two. I told her straight out and she hugged me straight away. We joked about it as i climbed into a closet in the room and then jumped out. She took a picture of me jumping out and constantly tells me that whenever she see's it i look happier than ever.
Also my dad was drunk when i told him so he just clapped his hands together and said excellent! I feel lucky really! lol

When I told my best friend her first reaction was disbelief. She thought I was joking but when I did convince her she said "Cool. Now we can talk about guys! I've always wanted a gay friend."
One of my male friends from school first of all asked me if I only sat beside him at lunch because I fancy him and when I said no, he wanted to know why I didn't fancy him.
My Parents found out because they thought I was going out with someone and they were asking me about it and when I told them I wasn't they asked me if I was gay and I told them I was. They hugged me and we had a big in depth conversation and now they're fine.
When I told one of my brothers he said he knew I was going to be the the gay one and laughed.

Let's see...well I just came out recently and it was too my best friend. We were not talking for about 5 days because I wanted to tell her I was gay but couldn't and she thoguht it was something she did..but I was the coward. So then after the 5 days (which were extremely painful) I talked to her online and told her how sorry i was. We talked for a while (online), until I had to stop stalling and she said "either tell me now or never" so I just made up my mind and told her. I'm shy too and online just seemed right...she took it wonderfully and we're best friends again

I have a few coming out stories that all seem to revolve around my friends. Wow, was that ever a weird ass week. My favourite would have to be coming out to my friend Julien, mostly because I didn't really make a big deal about it, I sort of let it slip in the midst of a mission. We were downtown at a bus stop at about midnight just talking. I've been trying to break him down lately (I know for a fact that he is also bi) so I just kept trying to make him say it. I don't want to say, "I know!" in case it hurts his feelings. So, I finally just turned to him and started with, "I was talking to Sophie about how bi we both are..." So I sort of said it like it was common knowledge and I guess it sort of was with the friends I have. I never actually had to say it at any point. Anyway, Julien sort of looked at me for a second, I smiled and he changed the subject. I think I let him know I know. Now all I need is for him to come out. He may have actually started because we were talking on the phone the other night and he told me I should go to the gay pride parade with him and a few friends. Progress? Hopefully.
