Stages of coming out #shorts #lgbt

[lordriot]

I remember one time in fifth grade I met this girl. She was beautiful and she had an amazing personality. We started talking to each other more and we were becoming friends. After two months I finally told her I liked her, but she said she didn’t like me back. I spent the entire weekend thinking about what I did wrong, and when I came back I went to her and she told me she was a lesbian. At the time I didn’t know what that was because my parents never told me and there weren’t any shows that I watched that taught about that so I was very confused. She then told me a lesbian is a women who likes other women. During that moment I just decided to go back to being friends. After three more months she ended up saying that she liked me and the also said “before I was a lesbian, but now I’m bi” we went like this for a bit of time, just liking each other but not dating, until about four weeks later she asked me to be her boyfriend and I said yes. We are still dating to this day.







Moral of the story: don’t chang yourself to fit their personality, just be how you want and they will either like you for what you do or they won’t.

Bruh when I told my parents I was bi they were like: “and? I already knew you were a pack of skittles.“
Me: 👁👄👁

Came out as bi mum gaslit me into thinking it was a phase then I got confused all over again

I'm in "i told them but they don't take it seriously" stage

[invisible_bean]

I'm a closeted bisexual, it has taken a long time for me to finally admit to myself that I in fact like girls too. Im terrified to tell anyone tho. I always thought when I was younger that my family would love me no matter what, but these recent years my family has been saying some really homophobic things that make me think otherwise. I especially know that my mother finds two women dating as disgusting and can't stand it. It doesn't help that my parents, especially my mom, constantly verbally abuse me without knowing it. They always make comments, and they don't know this but they're the reason I'm depressed, have an eating disorder, and frankly want to kill myself. So telling them that I'm bi would probably be a nightmare. I envy everyone with the courage to do so and hope one day I could come out. Sad thing is I can't even tell my best friend because I'm in love with her and I don't want to disappoint her. You were very brave for coming out. I love your videos and look up to you, so thank you!

i’m in the “i act very gay but my parents don’t notice, even though they might and probably do” stage

My mom was driving me home from who knows what. And out of the blue she said this “Hey, your sisters 🏳️‍🌈. What are you.”
I told her I was bi
“Cool, what’s that again.”
My mom is supportive but pretty clueless 😂
Love you mom ❤

I’m in the “waiting until I move out” stage.

I had to come out multiple times to both my parents lol.

The first time I came out to my mom I was 11/12, I had been asking her questions like “is it normal to think that other girls in my class are really amazing and want to be around them” leading up to it. So I went up to her one evening in said “Mom, you know that girl I was talking about…I think I actually have a crush on her.” And she said “No you’re not.” Instantly. And we didn’t talk about it for months, she would just make passive aggressive comments to friends and family members about it. After a few months my mom approached me and asked “Are you really gay” and at that point I wasn’t sure if I was gay because I thought I might be bi but didn’t have a word for it so I said No. She ended up finding out because I was an idiot and wrote about it in my diary which she read frequently. She then immediately told my dad who said “I like girls too.” most awkward drive I’ve ever had. And he forgot about it, lmao! He didn’t think I was old enough for it to matter so he didn’t think anything of it literally. He found out, again years later when my grandmother mentioned my girlfriend and he took a pause and went “Your WHAT” and said “my girlfriend” and he went “oh…. OH” and then was chill.

I haven’t come out yet but I keep dropping these “subtle” hints like “there’s something traditional at a wedding that I don’t want at mine, a husband.” Subtle

A few weeks ago I asked my best friend the hypothetically 'if i liked men' for possibly the tenth time. He replied "why would I care? You're still you." It was the first time that he'd actually answered without being homophobic, but I was still worried. I probably never would have told him anyway but this weekend an ex-friend of mine added my friend on Snapchat and told him everything. Now I'm panicking about seeing him tomorrow but also laughing bc this was too relatable

i came out to my parents a year ago that i was pansexual and my dad said, “so you like pans, cooking sheets and trays?👁️👄👁️” but other than that my mom and dad said that they support me 💗

[Sukekiyoki]

I came out to my mum by just saying “I have a girlfriend” she did not care at all, a few weeks later I bought a pride flag and hung it anoint my bed and she said it looked really good :)

[vinsfactory]

My dad saw a guy crushing over another guy in an animated movie and immediately turned it off and left in anger, i told my mom I was bi and she quite literally said “no you’re not “ and I replied with “okay.”

Lovely. I can’t wait to come out to my parents

[SantasSillyElf]

My mom is just like "Okay, but you aren't the dude, right? I like going shopping with you."
Like, I love her bro. It's horrible that people have parents that don't support them.

I wish I had stages 😭 when I was 14 I just came out as bi to my parents and they freaked out and gave me a whole lecture about how God made us straight (we’re Christian btw soo) and then I never mentioned being bi ever again 🤠

[skye_highxx]

for me it’s: stages of coming out to your parents: step one: you don’t

[keeprkyd]

i once asked my mom if she would still love me if i was a murderer, she laughed and went “of course”.

i ask “what if i was gay?” her smile dropped and she gave me *that* look and just went “(deadname)…stop”.

[Its.trintrinket]

I think it's really sweet of you to help ppl come out to their parents 💖

[librarysong]

I feel so reckless, I was on a walk with my fam and with zero fanfare I just said “Yo guys, I appear to be a lesbian” they were very supportive
