My coming out started 3 months before my 16th birthday... My parents were both home, which is not always the case (mom's a doctor, daddy's an attorney). After the news ended, I ask them to cut the TV off, I had something to tell them. Taking a breath and swallowing hard, I just blurted it out. "I'm a lesbian." Then I closed my eyes and waited for the roof to fall in. But it didn't, they both hugged me and told me they'd sort of figured it out months ago... they were just waiting for me to find my own time to tell them...
At my sweet 16 birthday party, at the end of the party I got up with the microphone..thanked them for coming to the party.."and oh yes, 1 more thing. I'm a lesbian." Stunned silence, then one of my male pals from the back shouted "oh Hell yeah! you go grrrl". Most of them accepted it as just being a part of me... but I did lose one of my best gal pals because she couldn't deal... Since then (it's been 5 years now) I've lived my life openly gay and hide it from no one. Even my grand parents know..

Mines a book in it's own right, coming out in a out-back country town in Australia, What a pain in the butt, nose, jaw, or all over the body, but hey I come out and now I demand respect as a human being when I return to this little back-water of civilization

In 1999 I was brought out of the closet. I was something like 19 years old. The reason for being brought out of the closet was because my boyfriend at the time tried to kill himself. I was ready to leave the relationship after 4-4 and a half years. I did get back with him for whatever reason I do not know for another year.
My mom sorta filled out at first. But then came to grips with it. She even went to Pride with me, (for several years) and back to back nights to a gay club on my birthday for a drag show. Everyone else including friends took it as they already new.
Unlike MOST of you all. I have another experience. This in the past couple of months. I recently fell in love with a female. There is some much love there. I erased my homosexuality, and actively living a heterosexual life. It was like the same transition.
For some reason my mom is having a problem with me being straight. It is hard for her to understand. However she does not realize it is even harder for me to understand. I mean after all. I spent 11 years as a homosexual. And it was like completely wiped AWAY like it was never there.
I have no regrets or anything. The only regrets I have in my past was wasting my teenaged years to be with my boyfriend. I had to go up too fast.
It was not hard for me coming out of the closet when I brought out. It was just difficult to understand because he is 9 to 10 years OLDER than I am. He was 25 and I was like 15.5 to 16 years old when we got together. Like I said this happened when I was 19. Had he died from overdosing. I do not know what my life would have been like from that point on.

Well to my close family it wasn't hard, my mom, dad, and brother are all open minded.. But when it came to the people at school, it was awful.
It started in history class, it was the end of Oct 2004 and we were having a "discussion" on gay marriages. Well my teacher stupidly asked the question "who thinks its a choice they make?" and everyone but me said yeah. Everyone noticed I didn't agree with them and they started throwing questions at me. So I told everyone I know it's not because I'm gay. Well this guy about three times my sizes gets in my face saying its against the bible and god's will.. so I had to tell him along with everyone else I don't believe in the bible or god. So I'm getting mad now because he's throw bible quotes up in my face and telling me I'll go to hell for everything I believe in. So everyone started getting on my case about it... and of course the teacher said nothing! So I got mad and when I get mad most of the time I don't think and this was one of those times, I got mad stood up kick the guy that's three times my height in the nuts when he bent over he was down at my level I blacked his eye and busted his nose. I stormed past the teacher and said "I know where the offices" then I turned around to my class and said "and for the record you all can go to hell you ******* morons, I hope you get hit by a bus!"
Needless to say I got in major trouble, the odd thing was mom didn't care what I did. But after that happened I started to get death threats and I had to change schools. Now I take real pride in what I and whom I love, and I think after I took pride in myself people started to respect me more at my new school.. So my coming out to my school had its good and bads...
blessed be!
