I'm completely new to all this. Anyways here's my story:
Until last weekend I had told a total of three friends (all girls, why is it that I'm more comfortable with my girl-friends?). So I told my best friend Han last summer about my 'confusion,' as I put it. I told my twin sister a few months on and my other friend. Only one of them claimed to have guessed and they were all really supportive, which I am so grateful.
Anyway on Saturday it was the usual teen party blahblah had too much to drink and only remember very little. Turns out I had a wee heart to heart with C, a cool girl but possibly the biggest gossip I've ever known. So
S***!!
was my emotion, on top of the sore head was not a pretty sight. Trouble was I didn't know if people would care or understand or accept or make fun of or have nothing more to do with me. The worry was horrific and made me so depressed its not funny.
Last night I was at a friend's house with a big group of friends from school. I was so nervous I nearly didn't even go. It was really strange. I actually thought that I'd got away with it, and nobody knew, because everyone was treating me exactly the same as they always would have. Towards the end of the night there was a discussion about same-sex marriage and I was asked if I would ever do that. So they do know, and it doesn't make a difference. And that is the most wonderful feeling in the world.
Knowing that my friends can accept me, all of me, means that I can too. It has helped me come to terms with my sexuality and I am so glad everyone knows now, even though my coming-out perhaps wasn't the most graceful event!

well heres my story. i told my mother about 3 monts ago. i had a total break down and i told her i needed to talk. so me and her went and drove around out in the country. well after i got everything off my chest that had been bothering me, i felt compelled to tell her. it was hard though she told me she loved me and sopported me. then she asked if there was anyone that i liked and a couple other things but they were really kinda awkward for me cuz ive never actualy talked about other guys i liked to someone this close to me least of all my mom. i dont think ive cried so hard in my life. though i knew that this was the first step of finally being able to have ppl know the true me. i am now faced with an even harder challenge and thats telling my best friend whos like a brother to me. i had never really had a best friend till i met him about two years ago and today not more then 5 mins ago i told him that i had some important things i needed to tell hm this weekends. so he said he would come over. at first i felt excited but now i feel afriad cuz if he cant accept it then how can i exspect any of my other friends to. im afraid that by telling him im goin to lose him. i know what kind of person he is and taking it the wrong way would be out of character for him and i know this with all my heart but at the same time i feel he has goods reason to hate cuz as open as me and him were together i kept this from him and it shows that i didnt trust him enough to tell him now. so is there anyone with any thoughts or some advice that could help me im not sure if this is the right place to post this and im srry if it isnt but i could plz use some help. People who sin say this, "that they had to, to survive." People who sin say this, "it's too late now to stop." The shadow called sin dogs them steadily from behind, silently without a word. Remorse and agony are repeated only to end up at despair in the end, but the sinners just don't know that if they'd only turn around there's a light there, a light which keeps shining on them ever so lonely. A light that will never fade.

I've blogged and typed and everything my coming out experience, so I'm just going to make this one short and to the point.
Two years ago - Sat Oct. 27/2007 = I'm still living in denial and trying to change it in every way possible.
Sun Oct. 28/2007 = BITCH I'M GAY; I NEED TO GET ON WITH IT ALREADY! *listens to 'I'm Coming Out' for hours)
Mon Oct. 29/2007 = WAHEY! I'm still gay! I need to tell somebody.
Lunch that day = "Chloe, Sylvie, I'm so EXCITED!" "About what?" "I'll tell you later." "No, what?" "Later. "
(repeat)
After school that day = I drag both of them into a corner and say "this weekend I accepted my homosexuality."
Chloe = 3 second glare. "Awesome! Give me a hug." *I hug Chloe* Sylvie = never stops glaring, but is happy for me.
Then I told my mom 20 mins later when I got home while crying, and she totally accepted it as well, after asking me if I was sure.
Well that's all so far. I'll come out to others soon, I'm sure.

About October 2005, I came out to my friends as bi. One of my friends kindly told a whole class of people so it managed to get around my year group in about an hour or two. People talked about it so much that my head of year found out and rang up my parents to tell them because apparently it was "school policy." Anyway, I denied it to my parents (so I don't know if they know or not).
I came out as lesbian some time later that year, which went down slightly worse. One of my friends screamed when she found out, and most tried to convince me that it was "just a phase." My whole year took the piss constantly as well, and still do.
I still go into periods of denial sometimes & try to force myself to find guys attractive when people make snide comments. But I'm kind of glad that I came out when I did because it helps me to accept who I am, even when other people don't.

Well I wanted to come out very slowly and just tell a few family and close friends for the time being.....................but it fucked up big style
Told me mam - she cried, denied etc. you know the score Told me Dad - He got a bit aggressive before calming me down and telling me not. Told me nanna - She said I cant be coz I had a fight the other day, play football and wont wear pink shirts. Bit stereotypical but she's old fashioned bless her.
Then we get onto mates. Now I was absolutely bricking it over me mates reactions. But I got some balls from the body shop and told two of me mates on MSN (one was my best mate, the other was just lucky to be on MSN at the time). They were both okay with it, me best pal being very interested (wierd bugger he is). But the other one was busting to tell somebody so held it in for a massive 3 days before asking me could he tell two other lads I hang around with. Didnt really fancy it at first but agreed under pressure. School came in the morning (well it didnt I went there ) and by break time the whole school knew, which I take as a compliment to my popularity.........honestly.
But forget the fact that they spilled the beans so quick, the support from me mates was fantastic and not one could give a flying fishfinger. Not one person has give me a bit of grief and the news has travelled like the Queens in town.
Funny thing was, this other lad came out the same day. He told me the day before he was going to do it and was excited about all the attention...........which he got zilch and I got it all; he wanted the thunder but ended up being the fart in the bath.

Whwn I came out, we were joking!!!. My dad and step mom suspected I wusn't strate, and always made fun of me, in a humorous way. I wuz sitting with my neighbor like 10 minutes later, and my little brother called me gay. I told him so wut, and he ran home screaming " mom dad bub's gay". Then they called me over, and my step mom wuz all extra supportive, while my dad just sat there and smoked 5 cigarettes, in like 10 minutes. The next day he yold me he'de b here 4 me if anyone gave me any problems, but he rarely holds up 2 his end of the bargain!!!( I cvame out july/8/06. I wuz 15 @ the time) I've yet 2 tell my mom, I don't really wunt 2, cuz I'm afraid wut her reaction will b, but I'm half way there.

I told three close friends one day at school on the first day of Year 11. A few weeks later, in a biology lesson, I wrote down the words 'I am gay' on a piece of paper and 'accidently' let the guy sitting next to me see it. or the remainder of that lesson, I got so many questions abou homosexuality and learnt nothing about plants.
