Reacting to your *WILD* coming out stories!

[@VikingHorseCreations]

When i came out as pansexual at the age of 15 to my (queer) mum she was like "Oh, cool. Could you please hand me the tomatoes?" I was so confused that she didn't say anything else. She just was fine with it. I think she already knew. A month ago, I told her that I am a lesbian. And she just gave me this "same my child, same..." -Look I am so grateful for that :3

Can't wait for part two! Some of these are seriously adorable, I'm smiling sooo much. When I was in 8th grade I was really sick of being closeted but also really anxious in general and was too nervous to tell my mom, I actually had one of my friends tell her over the phone. It seems like such a cringe thing now but hey it worked, lol. For awhile my mom did the whole 'are you sure, you could like guys too you know' thing, but she's always been supportive. My dad, I had reason to believe he was sorta homophobic but I eventually 'told' him by showing him a new shirt I'd bought ("Let's Get One Thing Straight- I'm Not") and literally the first thing he said was 'well now I don't have to worry about you getting pregnant' so I guess that went pretty well!

I am a closeted bisexual. A couple months ago my mom, little sister and I were at Wal-Mart looking at umbrellas because rainy season was coming. My sister saw a rainbow umbrella and asked my mom for it. My mom responded with "no, rainbows mean....something else..." I asked my mom "what else could rainbows mean other than happiness?". She didn't answer. (Rainbows are a symbol of the LGBTQ+ community in case you didn't know) This only makes it harder to come out.

She said that you either liked the same gender or you liked the opposite gender(she said it in s really innocent way lmao) looks like my mom straight up things there are only opposite poles and nothing inbetween (she also doesn’t know that I’m Omni or that I have a gf but she knows my friend is trans and is quite nice about it sooooooo.....she also wouldn’t care if I were dating a female, she just wouldn’t understand my actual sexuality)

[@lxnam]

people think i'm dramatic when i say i'll never come out to my parents like "what your parents are so nice and reasonable you'll be fine, they'll still love you" i know they'll still love me, but it won't be the same way they do now. my dad has trouble understanding transgender people even, and my mom and brother consider homosexuality a sin and the only solution is to abstain. i know they'll never look at me the same again if i tell them. they would also never understand how i'm only romantically attracted to one sex but fully attracted to the other sex. (for simplicity, but intersex people you guys are amazing, we see you ❤)

I'm the same way. As a demigirl bisexual in a white catholic family, they'd never accept me- they'd say the would, but they wouldn't deep down

[@nicolebacon2747]

My immediate family and half of my extended family are fairly open and accepting (they pretty much already know that I’m not straight even though I’ve never properly come out), but my dad’s side of the family is a lot more religious and conservative (and possibly also racist). I’m also trans (questioning enby), and worried that while they’re accepting of my sexual orientation, they may not be as accepting of my gender identity (especially since they struggled a bit with one of my friends’ transitions). But I’m mostly worried that I’ll be outed to my dad’s side of the family and they won’t be accepting (or that I won’t be allowed to see my cousins)

I'm not sure if it was this video or another one (I've watched a couple of her videos today so I could be mistaken on which one) but she said that people need to understand that gender and sex are 2 different things. Gender is almost the way you interpret yourself and how you feel whereas sex is the biological makeup of your body. Almost like how your sex can be female but you consider yourself non binary so that would be your gender. I'm guessing it's something like that. Although I did just ask my friend who is more knowledgeable in gender and they told me that it's called demi-boy or demi-girl so the pronouns would be she/they or he/they🤷‍♀️. I'm not entirely sure.

I have a few coming out stories (all mine of course) so I might as well share them here. I don’t remember the timing of any of these stories but they were all within the last year and a half. I had started expressing my liking for girls in a discord server that had some friends but was mostly random people. The server was a very supportive community, probably still is. A whole bunch of stuff happened over the course of a year with my ex best friend. We liked each other very clearly but ended up never getting together (we were online friends for almost a year before meeting) although we did kiss when we met. I enjoyed a lot as that was my first queer relationship and relationship in general, despite nothing being official. Anyway that’s just a random little story. Now onto the coming out stories. (Not in any particular order) I came out to my oldest cousin a while ago because i knew they are very supportive despite us growing up in a very homophobic family (well, my dad’s side is, but that’s the side they’re on). The conversation is sort of blurred now but it was really refreshing and nice to be able to come out and feel safe doing so. I also came out to my other cousin who is my age (15 days apart) and he was extremely supportive of me from the beginning, and he’s asked me about it and what it’s like and he’s never shown any discomfort. I came out to my brother a while ago and he ended up threatening me kind of. It was a very weird and scary situation but everything is good now, he was just being overprotective in a really weird way that kind of scared me, but it was fine as he isn’t homophobic, he just gave me to wrong impression at the time. I came out to my sister after somehow bringing up us and she was talking about how she used to be called a lesbian in her old catholic high school (so glad i dont go to a catholic high school) and how she is bisexual and I just made the comment “wow our parents ended up with 2 girls that aren’t straight” and she asked me if that was me coming out to her and I said yes, she now jokes about it a lot and I find it hilarious. My sister came out to my dad a few months ago and i found out about it shortly after, so about a week after she came out to him i brought it up when it was just my dad and I and I ended up telling him I like girls too. I never specified my sexuality as I don’t personally care to but for basics I just call myself a lesbian or queer (occasionally sapphic if I know the person I’m talking to will know what it means). My dad ended up being supportive which was surprising to me since i thought he was homophobic for a while but he turned out to be quite accepting and he’s been trying to be supportive. He has even respect one of my friend’s pronouns after I told him about them (my friend is out to everyone except their parents) and he from then on referred to them using their correct name and pronouns, he does better than my mom sometimes who has never been homophobic or trasphobic. This actually applies to early with the conversation with my brother but i ended up coming out to my mom after coming out to my brother since he scared me so much, she didn’t care much but she did want to talk about it, but i wasn’t really ready to. Now most people would regret something like that but I dont regret it, I was able to live freely in my house and watch and say whatever with my friends without worrying about my mom or brother hearing (my parents are divorced and my sister moved out years ago). Other than family I have come out to a bunch of people but the most memorable was when the same friend i mentioned above came out as trans to me after asking if I was homophobic, and of course I said I wasn’t in the slightest, and right after they came out I ended up being like “ wow, I’m gay, this is great” and we’ve been friends for 5 years after meeting in a catholic school so it was interesting. I am going to be seeing them very soon as they are coming back in town (they moved a year ago) and I am so excited. Anyway those are my coming out stories, i hope you enjoyed!

Basically what happened is two of my friends were arguing over if some random guy was hot and one of them just started going around and asking a ton of people (including me) what we thought. This lead to her about to go ask one of our classmates before saying "wait nevermind she's gay" and without thinking I responded with "so am I". It went well my friends were just pretty surprised and probably a couple other people know cause it was at lunch and the friend who i was responding to when i said that yelled "YOU'RE GAY??!" several times (she's fine with it and even came up to me in the next period to make sure i knew she was fine with it shes just a very loud person and irl i do not seem like the type of person to be lesbian.)

I was surprised because I had only just come out to myself, and I hadn't told anyone, and that's when my mom told me that when I was like 5, I came up to her and said "I don't think I'm a girl or a boy mom" so I guess I've just... always been queer? Everyone is really supportive, even the people I thought wouldn't be supportive asked me what pronouns they should call me now, and were just really nice about it, and I'm really glad my coming out had a happy outcome like this :)

The part where you talked about how coming out as gay can be easier for different families rather then coming out as a different gender and how it’s a whole different concept that’s hard for them to wrap their heads around, and how they would argue about biology is something going on within my family, I’ve tried three times to come out as a straight trans dude and my parents would go off about how it’s okay for me to be a lesbian or a tomboy but that I’m ‘not’ trans, it hurts but it’s good to know someone out there understands

I need to shoutout my mom for being the opposite of most parents! So, when I was 18, so 5 years ago, I accidentally came out (I forgot I had not come out yet and made a very obvious "I'm a WLW" comment). She didn't really understand bisexuality, had many questions, we spoke for an hour, ... you get what I mean. I think it took her a good 2 years to really understand the concept. I have a sibling, who is not my bio sib but best friend of 8 years and whom my mom really considers part of the family, even though they live in NI and we live in Switzerland. Also, my mom doesn't really speak english and my sib doesn't speak French, yet they are still able to have conversations (this warms my heart). Last year, they came out as genderfluid and told me their preferred name. The good sister that I am (lol) bought them a lot of cute Etsy stuff to celebrate them and their awesome name! I was dreading having to explain this to my mom because gender is quite complicated to understand. It took my mother 3 MINUTES to understand what genderfluid means and why sib preferred a different name, she has memorised the name (she's bad at memorising names in general) and when she forgets, she never uses their dead name but will say something like "oh damn I can't remember their name, you know, your sib who lives in NI" (in French we don't have a gender neutral term for sibling, and I'm yet to introduce the very new french equivalent of "they" to my mom) and she has not needed further explanations. My mom really found it easier to understand gender-fluidity than bisexuality haha I'm just glad she's very accepting and loves us no matter what! Also, outing a student is so messed up!! I'm so mad for them

I think if I was you, I'd use Kea (Kay) as a genderneutral name :) It sounds really cute and has a fun spelling! I'm really sad, cause I have always had bad dysphoria with my name but I got really attached to the nicknames I got but there's no genderneutral version of it that I like... Anyone know what to make out of Nathalie? My friends usually call me Nat or Nathi....

I've come to realize that Nat does seem to be quite common for women (in English at least) but really, I don't think it should be associated with just that. First time I heard it, it was for a Nathaniel kid in my school.

[@thithildeholmes772]

I came out to my parents when I was about 18. I had mental and physical health issues at the time, so I spend a lot of my free time at school at the nursery. When my depression hit the most, my mom was worried when I came home crying and all. So she called the school nurse to check if everything was alright with me. I had already came out to the nurse and told her it was horrible for me to keep it for myself at home. So the nurse answered to my mom that I had something to tell her when I'd come home the next weekend (I was in a boarding school). She then told me my mom had called because she was worried which I found cute, but also that she basically forced me to have to come out, which I was very mad at. So later that week, I came out to my mom. She was legit scared of what my secret were, and was relieved I was just gay, and not pregnant or on drugs.. Her reaction was so cute

Whenever i'm going out with my friend (who is bi) (i'm a lesbian) my mom says "oooh are you going out with a boyy??" And when i tell her that i don't want to have a boyfriend, she just says "maybe its a girl, you never know what people like" AND I'M NOT OUT OF THE CLOSET STILL!! I love how she shows support even tho she doesn't know that i'm gay. Also, one time, i asked my dad "if i was queer, would you accept me?" And i didn't know i liked girls back then, and he started talking about love and support people should have for other humans and not caring about labels, sexuality or skin color. ❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE MY PARENTS SO MUCHHHH (I LOVE YOU TOO AND UR VIDS)

It was terrifying at the time but looking back on it, it was fucking hilarious.

We’ve been together for a little over a week (She told me she liked me over holiday break, so I asked her out and she said yes!) And she’s just really amazing! All our friends are so happy for us.

I came out as pan not long after my older sister came out and at first, my parents thought that I was just copying my sister, and then I came out as nonbinary masc presenting (and am working up the courage to recome out as demi boy soon) and they were like "ok so this is happening" and my dad gave me several speeches about how it's probably a phase and that they/them is plural and all that jazz but my mom got more supportive as time went on and even though my mom has gotten a lot better about my name and pronouns my dad still needs a bit of work.

So I didn’t really come out to my mother, but I accidentally showed her a message from one of my friends at the time, because she had apologized to me, after a huge fight. In the message she mentioned that I once had a crush on her and that she didn’t really mind it. So my mum was pretty confused, but didn’t really say anything about it. Recently (like a couple days ago) I texted my father, who I haven’t seen in three years and hadn’t been really in touch with. I told him that I was trans and want to use they/he pronouns and I’d like being called Felix. His reaction was the BEST! He was so sweet about it and immediately told me about a trans boy in my stepbrothers class etc. he is totally excepting and he said he’ll have to get used to it, but will definitely try to use my new name. I’m very lucky to have both of my sisters in my family, who are also pan, just as myself and my father being so excepting and understanding of my gender identity, they really help me get through living with my mother who doesn’t even try to understand LGBTQIA+ :)))
