Everyone has their own coming out story. And I love to read about how different people did it. And I think its great how some worked out just fine, and I feel bad about how some turned out. Well here is my story about how I came out to everyone.
First of all, I believe that I was born gay, because even when I was a little kid, I seriously did NOT like ANY girls. Just as friends. And I never had any guy friends either. Because everyone was so mean to me. I was the lowest of the lowest on the social ladder. Eventually people started asking me if I was gay. And I didn't really think anything of how I acted, or how I talked, or anything, because I didn't understand myself really. So I started to ask myself...how do I really act? How do I come off to people when I talk? One day after school me and my best friend Morgan, decided to really find out. Because I didn't know how I sounded or anything. Eventually I decided there is no choice, I am gay. And I was fine with it. So I told everyone. Because in the beginning I wanted to see how people would react. And most of the responses were positive. Some were negative. When I had gotten to be a highschool freshman I just let everyone find out. If someone asked me I would say yes. And I wouldn't care what they thought, because their opinion didn't really matter to me. About four months after school had started, I told my dad. It was easier to tell him because I don't live with him. He just hugged me for a long time and told me he wouldn't love me any less. Since then my relationship with my dad hasn't got any better. It's actually gotten worse, but that's another story. I have one sibling->a sister. And a year after I told my dad I told her. I had to sit and explain to her how my thinking was on this. And I told her that wasn't any changing me. My mom was the hardest to tell, one because I live with her, and two because my relationship with my mom is so tight that her opinion matters the most. I actually didn't tell her. She read it in a note and asked me about it. I was like ''yeah im gay.'' and she just sat there and cried. I didn't know what to do. So I just went in my room and layed there. All day. The next day we went to my aunt's house in Ohio and she helped explain everything, because my aunt is a lesbian. And my mom understood. While I was there, I thought I would just get everything out to her. I told her that I wear make-up and that I carry a purse around with me all the time, at school. She said she was fine with it, but now I just really don't know, because she seems to accept it one day, but the next its a big deal. I'm just really confused, and I don't know how to talk to her about it, but I'll find a way.
Anyways...that is my coming out story=]
