    I'm trying to get more active in this community, so I've decided to post my coming out experience! This might be a bit long, but I hope you enjoy the read!

    So, to start off, I am a young one, 13 years old to be exact. I found out I was gay about two or three years ago, but I can remember getting girls crushes back in elementary school. At first I thought I was bi, so when I did I came out to my first friend I had since I moved to this town back when I was four. He was chill with it and realized he could ask me about what girls I thought were cute and that's how things went with him.
    But after realizing I wasn't very fond of boys, romance wise that is, I started to think that maybe I was just gay. It took me a few months before I finally understood that girls are way more cute than guys, at least for me. After that I had this friend who would come over and we would play video games or sing along to music. I eventually told him I was gay after he asked me out. He understood and much like my previous friend, ask me about which girls I thought were cute, turns out he wasn't straight either! He had found a liking to boys as well girls, and the same thing happened with my friend from 1st grade that got me into video games. He asked me out, I told him I was gay and a few months later he told me he was bi.
    And the most recent people who I have come out to was my parents and my aunt. It was a Friday night and I was getting frustrated because they wouldn't let my friend, who was a guy, stay over. And the only reason was because he was a boy and I was a girl. Which didn't make sense, because I had told them previous times, over and over, that I had no interest in dating or doing anything like that at the age of thirteen. But they still wouldn't have it because they didn't trust something wouldn't happen, and I knew I had to tell them I was gay.
    I swear, I had never felt more scared then, I could hear my heart beating as loud as a train and I kept staring at the floor until I looked my Mom in the eye and told her I was gay, and then to my dad, and my aunt. My Mom was surprised and my Dad and Aunt didn't care at all. I was so relieved, it felt nice to finally get it off my chest and not be questioned that I was too young, or being told that gay is a sin or whatever.

    So, that was my coming out story to the people I care about the most. I hope it wasn't too boring or that my grammar was crap. Thanks for reading and enjoy your day! :smilewave
