    well on Friday it is the last day of school for the year; now next year most of my class will be going to different schools (end of a year 6,7 and 8 school) so i want my friends (who are going to the same school next year) to know i am bisexual (4.5 on the kinsey scale). now they have gathered that i am a lesbian because i (somehow) meet the stereotypes. i am wearing skinny jeans and a shirt and tie to my graduation while the rest will wear dresses. so apparently a dead give away.
    BACK TO THE TOPIC
    i have no idea how to tell them!
    i mean it's pretty obvious i like girls because i am one of those girls you see and immediately assume is a lesbian (i have a GREAT gayder) so that isn't the hard part. the hard part is getting the words out of my mouth!
    :bang::bang::help::help::help::help::help::help::help::help::help:
    so whats your coming out stories and help! thanks!

    You can do a Facebook reveal, with a cover photo that includes a rainbow flag, "Interested in Women" description, and a liberal number of "likes" of gay organizations and Facebook pages. If that doesn't do the job, then they are clueless. Gossip should spread the word around quickly after Facebook sends out the "so & so changed their cover photo" message to all your friends' feeds.

    i have liked tonnes of gay pride stuff on Facebook but they won't believe the fact i am not a lesbian!!! i have gone out with one guy because he was gay an he is the only one that knows i am bi so we could go under the radar. however they still think i am a lesbian. the whole class thinks it now as wells.

    People have a tendency to label bi men as gay, and bi women as lesbians, focussing on the "not normal" part of their sexuality rather than the conventional part. You could put likes men and likes women on Facebook, and some people still won't "get it". You will probably have to tell them explicitly and hope they aren't to numb to listen to you.
