    The more I read about coming out the more I feel robbed of some thing. haha.

    I never came out.
    I wasn't ever in.

    When the Disney song said to kiss the girl I asked why they didn't have a prince who kissed the boy.
    When other boys said "she's cute" I said "her boyfriend is hot".
    When some guy at a slumber party said "You know what feels really good....." I offered to show them.
    And when they said "What are you, a FAG?!" I asked if they were afraid they'd catch it.

    I started at age 19. Of course I knew I was gay WAY before that, but didn't accept it until then.

    I started coming out when I was 12. But so far I've only come out to friends, and I'm 13 now.

    Started at 19.

    Unless you count coming out to yourself, in which case that was anywhere between 16-18, depending on how you look at it...

    Started coming out to friends and siblings 21, and then to parents like a year ago. So I tell anyone that asks/I feel like I should tell.
     
  14. 15 to counselors/therapists, 16 (now) when I told and am beginning to tell everyone else.

    Accepted long before I started coming out. Orientation-wise I started coming out around 22 - 23 and now just pretty much tell anybody who asks, or let them draw the right conclusions without any of the fear I used to feel.

    I came out at the age of 29. Three Years Ago on August 22nd 2009.
    I'm a late bloomer. I'm just now enjoying reliving that lost teenage years.
    Right now I'm having the best time of my life.
    I just got both ears pierced.
    I'm wearing two different kinds of earrings. <- I'm expressing my rebellion against society and also I'm expressing my feminine side as a femboy in public without shame.

    I first came out in April this year, a week before my 22nd birthday.
