Damn. Sorry Anon. That sucks

>>5578700
I did not come out to my family yet but here are a few times that I came out:
>At cc
>Literally fucking crying at the phone with an old friend because of all of the emotions of being bi.
>He accepts me and tells me that he has gay professors and friends.
>He slowly fades away and I haven't talked to him since (2 years ago).
>Tell another friend, he's cool with it but slowly fades away too and I haven't talked to him for 2 years too.
>Just keep myself repressed or "locked". I didn't feel too much emotion at this time.

>Transfer to uni.
>Have a study group with an obvious gay guy.
>Constantly hang out with group because we're all cool with each other.
>Meet up with group after finals and 3 of us (including me) come out.
>Horyyy shiiet we are a big LGB group.
>Talk to friend who couldn't make it to that meet up and find out he's gay too.
>Fucking noice.

I'm just glad that I found a little support group. I really want to have fun but I have to stay on top of my priorities (school, interning, etc). I don't know how some of my relatives can handle the news when I get a bf but this will have to wait.

>>5578762
I hope you're doing okay anon. I'm so sorry.

>>5578890
I know that feel. Most of my friends at school that i hang out with are gay or bi so i dont really have that problem. They all know im bi but my family doesnt

At 14 I was walking out the door and turned to my mother and said that I was a man and left. of course I went back home and had a chat. yeah.
now im in therapy and waiting for mones.
obviously ftm. she already knew I liked women but honestly ive been pretty confused about that too, I like men more I think.

I'm in the closet and have a great relationship with my loving family.

Haha out of the closet faggots that get kicked to the fucking curb always make me laugh.

>>5578996
I meant 11, not 14

>>5578996
>>5579039

..and what was the upshot of that conversation? Wait for 7+ years and see how it goes?

>Be me, watching TV with my mother and sister
>They start talking how gay the characters are
>Start telling a lot of gay jokes
>"Mmm, yeah, mom? sis? Have I ever told you that I'm gay?"
>Awkardsilence.jpg
>"Oh, that's cool anon. Whatever"
>Keep watching TV like if nothing ever happened

For some reason, I was expecting something more shocking

>>5578700
> In the car with my mum
> On the way back from tangsoodo (martial arts)
> every time i'm in the car i've tried to work up the courage
> this time i finally do it
> 'Mum, i like boys as well as girls'
> She doesn't understand, literally never heard of bisexuality before so i had to explain it to her.
> She then proceeds to give me an hour long lecture on aids
> Tells me i'll grow out of it

> When i later tell my dad
> In the car with him, he picked me up cause i saw him every other weekend.
> He says 'Oh, ok, that's fine.'
So confused i thought my mum would be fine with it and my dad would go crazy, literally the opposite happened.

I come out later later as trans too when i was 19. That was a lot tougher, cause my mum was super into germaine greer and shit and literally constantly said transphobic shit before i came out...

>>5579495
oh i was also 14 at the time.

I'll never come out to my parents, even tough I came out to some friends.

they were all supportive but...
It's my sick brain the problem, I'm always feeling awful afterwards, like now that they know, all could and in my shitty country people love to talk and find a reason to bring you down. Also it's like now I've got to 100% accept it and decide what to do with my future, I always wanted a traditional family but now... FUCK:

>secretly hope he regrets his actions everyday

I know this is nowhere near as bad as a lot of coming out stories, but I'm still not comfortable talking to my parents about my sexuality. I don't feel comfortable being with them sometimes but that's probably because I'm still young.

>Go to a close friend who knows I'm trans' house after work rather than home, afraid to face things. Talk with her awhile.
>About 2 hours later my mom calls frantic about where am I, and how worried she is.
>She's been researching and found a few therapists in the area. Says she wants me start trying to get an appointment in the morning. That she loves me no matter what and will help however she can.

TFW my first time coming out and not being believed.

Obviously I wouldn't know what he sounded like, but he's right about it being a hard path. That statement alone doesn't seem rude.

>>5585411
I wasn't offended by it, but he felt really dissapointed. I just didn't want him to feel bad, but can't really change that.

What does that even mean?

>>5590028
I got that shit growing up, too. Turns out one of my sisters is gay anyway. It's just passing the buck.

>>5590028
My sister goes to the same school system I do. Word would get around. She'd get teased constantly about having a faggot of a brother.

Jesus christ, that's horrifying. This is why I'm not coming out until I've finished my degree and have moved out and away from my family completely and have taken all my stuff with me so there's no excuse to go back.

>>5590333
All this at fucking 19? Christ, nobody will blame you for getting revenge.

>>5590418
So what exactly assigned are you?

bi leaning les

Came out to mum in long winded text
> ok that's fine but don't hurt anyone/cheat on anyone
She gradually stopped talking to me about anything related to relationships or sexuality in general and now treats me with disdain anytime it's mentioned

Came out to dad after a date with a qt
> Oh cool, righto.
He's just happy I confided in him, treats me the same

Kind of the opposite of what I expected really.

>>5590418
Get your faggy tumblr shit out of here.

>coming out
>making a big deal about your sexual habits

why do people do this?

>>5592963
>autist confirmed
Anyways, it has to do with the fact that being anything other than heterosexual is against current societal norms and tends to be looked down upon either as something weird or something evil/wrong... People, who aren't autists (like you, for instance), don't like being looked down by their family, friends, or the general public for simply being themselves and, thus, we end up with the coming out triumph stories because it's actually a quite sizable hurdle to get over that fear and openly be yourself.

>be senior in high school
>End up having a nervous break down due to classes and suspected trans status in second to last month of school
>Go to counselor for help
>Counselor surprised to see me, since I was normally very calm and collected
>She calms me down and I explain the class situation and we work out a plan
>Before sending me back she asked if there was anything else on my mind
>Say no and leave
>Realize soon after that I should've said ya and come out
>Make plans to see her next day
The rest is pretty typical, she was very accepting and (since I was leaving for Uni after graduating) asked me if I had health insurance.. since I didn't she helped me find a plan that was affordable for me and had coverage for trans patients and she hooked me up with some trans groups in the city I was going to.

When people stop treating being /LGBT/ as a big deal we'll stop treating coming out as a big deal. You realize we're only 1% of the population right? Heteronormativity is still a thing bro.It isn't socially acceptable to be anything other than straight anon, we're getting there though.Until then, we have to keeping doing this 'coming out' thing. I don't understand why I have to explain this.

>mfw

ultimately everyone's cool about it. living life in dfw, texas is nice.

>>5592963
Ohhh, it's not a big deal for my big immigrant, Christian family. Especially with the Hispanic community, being a "man" is a huge fucking deal and as a guy, liking dick ruins you. They loathe gays and they commonly throw the word maricón (faggot in English) around. I'll be a outcast and probably disowned.

I'm not in a secure situation if the worst outcome possible happens when I come out but it's nice to find some accepting friends or even a platform, like this board.

I think it depends on how gay you are. I'd hate to be full blown gay, super into sex and relationships AND in the closet, or even worse, trans. However I'm just very slightly bi and not even sexually active or dating, so I feel silly whenever I even think about telling anyone, as if its some major issue or something that needs to be dealt with, when in reality I'm not having sex anytime soon, male or female, so its pointless conversation that would imply I give a fuck.

Went about as good as I expected it to go. My family are idiots, and I accepted that a long time ago.
Just glad they were distant enough to not figure out that I was gay sooner in my life when I would have been financially dependent on them. Or worse, still valued their opinion of me.

Feels.

idk why should I come out. Its not like im ever getting a bf and even if I did I'd probably not bring him to my parents.

>>5607120
Then don't. Never ever come out unless you absolutely have to.

It's stories like this that make me not wanna come out. My family means so much to me but they wouldn't take it well at all.

>>5607162

unless you just don't give a fuck, I bet most of the time its never that bad. whether you choose to or not, you'll more than likely be ok.

Not exactly a coming-out story, but here goes.

> Be 20.
> A couple days after New Year's. Started dating a MtF friend of mine on New Year's day (I'm a male, for the record).
> Sitting at the table, eating lunch with my mom while my dad stands at the stove making eggs.
> "I have some news for you guys."
> Tell them about my relationship status.
> Mom stares at Dad and bursts into tears.
> Mom is literally begging me to break up with my friend.
> Talking about how my friend has had a bunch of problems with depression, mood swings, etc. in the past and just doesn't seem stable.
> Tells me she doesn't want me to get dragged into it and potentially lose me - as if by dating her I've joined some sort of suicide pact.
> Claims she's not even that upset because my friend is trans, yet still asks me if I'm gay.
> I say no and tell her that I see her as a girl (she's basically just waiting on SRS at this point).
> Dad is mostly quiet, but going along with all of my Mom's points.
> End up leaving the table and going to my room.
> Put on my jacket and go out to gf's.
> Mom demands that I give her a hug before I go. MFW
> Proceed to cry and scream the entire way to my gf's.
> Talk to her about it and we decide to call things off just so I don't completely ruin my relationship with my parents.
> Don't talk to my parents about it until the next day, and when I do tell them, I basically give them the information and tell them not to respond to me at all. Tell them to just drop it and that I'm incredibly disappointed in them.

Thank freaking goodness it didn't ruin my friendship - my "ex" and I still get along fine, and this whole thing hasn't come between us in that sense. It still makes me sick to think about it, though.

Also, MFW I'm now considering myself bi-gender and will probably have to come out to my parents eventually.

Thanks anons, it's nice to feel vindicated.

>>5590333
how's life now?

I'm 18 and still haven't come out to anyone in my family, but they probably suspect it. What do?

>>5579495

Women are usually prudes. A lot of men have had homosexual experiences. Perhaps why.

>>5582104

Man that sucks. If you're open about it with everyone, though, you feel it becomes normal and less special snowflake. You don't need to wear a rainbow badge, but when discussion about relationships pops up or something

>>5582312

Brothers can be the worst. One time I was fooling around with a friend in underwear and a picture was uploaded to Bebo. He was going to show my parents, out of sheer malice, luckilty it wasn't there when he showed them since I'd told the guy to remove it or I'd report it as CP (us being 14 at the time).

>>5590333

Man that sucks. Dude don't worry about grades. The most important thing is your happiness.

>>5607481

Just tell your bf everything.

>>5607642
I should. I'm just worried he'd leave me. I would understand if he did. noone wants to be someone's dirty little secret.

>>5607251
This is why I don't involve my parents in any important decisions. :^)

Actually I say that but I waited until I lived by myself to transition, regret 4ever but I'm still happy yey.

>>5590333
Is that your steam pic?

Well this thread is the most depressing thing ever.
From what I gather it seems like the whole idea of coming out is a great way to lose everything you ever cared about.

>>5608403
It depends.
My family paid my surgeries for me and called me by my new name soon as I came out.
It can go both ways

When I came out I got mixed reactions. I don't have an immediate family so I told my aunt who was abusive anyways before coming out could give less of a fuck, but told me she wanted me to know I was going to hell.

My at the time best friend told me I was sick and needed to go to church with him, and my cousins really didn't give a shit.

If you do care about him, just choose him over your family. You don't seem to be close to them at all.

I haven't come out yet but I'm planning to take it gradually.

This was actually the third time she's found my clothes/makeup within the space of a year. I really want to come out to her soon, especially since I just started self-medding but nigga its tough

>>5608499
She already fucking knows you fool. I understand people think there parents are dumb, but they're not that dumb.

>>5608569
Maybe but she later told me she thinks it's a phase and something about female hormones in my food making me do this.
I guess I should also tell her that this "phase" has lasted for 11 years now but eh

they were incredibly cool about it. It was really uncharacteristic of them to be like that. Compare this with me "coming out" as bi (about a year later) ...

I loved my grandma. She passed before gay marriage became legal here in the states, but she told me once that one day she'd throw me the biggest wedding ever, whether it was legal or not. She was awesome.

The other guy is still a close friend. And it was major because I was falling in and out of depression right about then and the case didn't let itself become forgotten, it was a 4 month period where the papers where going back and fourth between all kinds of shit, since the policemen did not do their job correctly, there was literally no case and it was dropped anyways in the end (also had a police major telling me if it happened to his son he would sue the dept and called the policeman responsible an asshat lol).

>>5612053
Well at least where I live I know it would always be looming over my sister's head and have caused her a lot of grief at school.

i dont know why there are still people surprised that some parents are cool with their children coming out as trans but not cool with gay. for a lot of parents with faggy kids they consider it a trade up to have them transition, cause then at least they'll appear normal.

What alternative reality are you living in? Fucking hell I've seen kids get picked on to the point of tears because they were in a wheelchair do you have any idea what they would do with the whole "gay brother" thing?

And no, she's popular and has many friends which was actually the issue there. It would have effected her social standing.

some parents go into crazy denial. do you live in a relatively liberal environment? maybe you can find some priest or another religious person your mother respects to support you? though your mom seems to be using the sin thing only as an excuse. with time she might overthink it. i'm sorry, anon.

I could ask you the same thing, unless it was like 20 years ago that you went to high school.

I went to school in one of the smallest towns in the South and there were popular girls with gay brothers and nobody cared, nobody even cared that much about the gay people themselves besides some light teasing.

I think your mother filled you up with some really warped ideas about the other kids.

There's a lot but I won't bore you with the details. I feel like this experience has made me stronger and more disciplined, but it's also deadened me emotionally. I don't have the capacity to care for anything other than dragging myself out of this nightmare.

Honestly you strike me as incredibly naive. If you'd ever had dealings with people like these in the past you'd know they're literally emotional vampires who thrive on pain and drama. There's no reasoning with them.

You all are fucking faggots.

I didn't 'come out' of the closet, and never intended to: I got found out because idiot parents were nosing in what they shouldn't have been interfering with.

But who the fuck actually thinks: "I'm going to sit down with my parents and tell them I'm gay"? Especially when you're not even independent or in a relationship? Bunch of faggots.

Kind of cringey. Tone it down/ never respond or mention religion in any more of your conversations. She admitted she wasn't religious and neither are you, so change the subject.

Your mom's personal opinion is obviously that she is against anyone being gay, especially you. If she isn't going to value your opinion or even want to listen to you, just let it go. Work on improving your life.

Allowing your parents to offer their opinion in your conversations too often will backfire. Do you generally wait for a response or are you submissive? It makes them think your not confident in your own opinion, and they won't value it in the future. Keep going and they lose respect for you. Sometime being a bitch will make people respect you more in the long run. It sucks because you want to be the nicest, friendliest person but hate how nobody respects you.

It's been interesting so far, I'm not some super macho masculine guy but I guess I'm quite straight acting, plus since I've always mainly been friends with straight guys I can appreciate attractive women and can talk about it naturally with them so I suppose I've been catching people off guard.

I still have most of my main friend group to come out to as well as family. I'm also a fairly well known character around a town where everyone knows everyone so I imagine word is going to spread very quickly once I become more public.

Why does the thought of doing it with your brother cause you disgust? He's a guy, and you're bi, meaning you're attracted to guys as well, correct? So, what's the problem?

>>5616868

Because hes my little brother. I changed his diapers. I beat up kids who picked on him. I took care of him and watched him all the time.

Time to spit the bait out, have fun.

So far, both of my experiences have been good. However, I'm really worried about what my family will say. My mom is okay with homosexuality, but I'm really close to a lot of my other family (aunts and uncles) and know that at least three will hate me for this. My grandpa says he has nothing against homosexuality, but doesn't support gay marriage, and I'm in the dark about my grandma. I have a cousin who's FtM and my grandma makes snide remarks about her not dressing like a girl all the time. Thinking about coming out to my cousin tomorrow, though. And a girl I'm pretty good friends with. I honestly don't plan to tell my mom until after college in case she does something rash. Also I'm kinda sure a lot of (if not most) of my family will hate me for being MtF/(maybe)genderfluid. I know my classmates at school would...

life is short anon, we have to stop worrying about how people will react to the decisions that will let us live happy, fulfilling lives, as hard as those reactions may be to deal with

I'm a straight male, and can see you goofed, prepare for shit storm.

Also, it is possible you're now 18, but your story took place when you were 17 and it was just last year.

Stay safe kiddo, just remember, you don't have to come out to the whole fucking world before becoming self reliant.

No problem, I told a girl I was bi in the 7th grade because I romantically liked guys. She told a lot of people, later found out there just aren't many people I like, so even a guy being liked by me, is really just a friendly sort of like.

I'm a cis shitlord, but hey, what a stupid fucking thing to ask.
On another topic, my mom and dad tell me all the time that if I'm ''gay'' or whatever, they'd still love me. I believe it. They believe I'm straight as an arrow and bother me about girls a lot. I've never told them I'm bi, but I guess I won't need to. I'm getting married soon but I used to be a huuuuge manwhore when I was a teen.

all i'm planning on getting right now is orchi which woudln't even take me that long to save up for (is relatively cheap in canada) but hell yea

i was honestly shocked about how supportive she was 'cause she usually gets kinda freaked out about like, anything. like the first time i visited trans stuff was pretty much the only thing we talked about which was kind of tiring 'cause like, i've got other shit going on in my life lol but it,s really nice. she also took me clothes shopping for christmas lol
(my dad was kind of a dick but that's whatever)

We talked again last night and she's apparently already over the "durr sin" thing and seems far more accepting, but still think gays r gross tho.

I also tried to out myself to my dad once, but chickened out. I guess I won't unless I start a serious relationship with a woman and have to present her to my parents.
Never came out to friends officially, just didn't hide it, and the majority of my friends are part of the LGBT community themselves, so we just naturally learned of each other's preferences and left it like that. Came out to a couple of psychologists and psychiatrists I've talked to, didn't learn anything major about myself, they were more concerned with my phobias). Not planning on coming out to anyone else for now.

well that's gay

I "come out", per se. I'm like 80% gay (still hung up over a girl), but pretty masculine, so people have no clue about my preferred sex, and one asks. I'm not one to go around broadcasting my sexuality, but I don't hide it either; if I had a partner I wouldn't mind people knowing. So far the only people who know are my sisters and my best friend who I have unrequited feelings for. I dunno. I just don't see the point in having to "come out" to the public. If people want to know, they'll ask and I'll tell them, no need to act like it's really anything special.

>awnser your mom's fucking phone calls. she just didn't know how to accept it. you're still her child damn it. it's different when they ignore and don't talk to you.... but ignoring them after that? fuck that.

Call me crazy, but going ballistic on your kid when they finally work up the nerve to come out to you, all the while hoping and praying that you'll at least understand and help them, is a great way to burn that bridge for good. She disowned me when I needed her most and left me out in the cold.

... But you have a point. I've been mad at her since that happened. I don't want anything to do with her, but I'd also like some peace of mind. So maybe I will pick up next time. Maybe we can bury the hatchet and come to some kind of understanding.
