coming out stories?
#81
Sounds like so many stories I've read and heard.

My heart goes out to you, but just think... You're still here, fighting through it, and someday, the barriers will break, and you'll be free to be yourself, and love who you wish.

Thinking of you.

Sui I am GUTTED to read of your awful experiences as a result of coming out, but babe ?

As trite as this is going to sound, it is not you that's in the wrong in any way, shape, fashion or form ... your parents are one day going to realise the pain that they have needlessly put you through, and they will attempt to reconcile with you, and then the worm will have turned, and you will be in a position to accept their apologies or damn them out of hand.

Any friend that ditches you when you come out to them demonstrates that they are not a friend worth having, as at the end of the day being gay isn't a disease or a social wrong - it's just another facet of you - you're still the same beautiful, multi-dimensional, varied and perfectly formed individual you were BEFORE you told them, so why they have to act like it's some HUMUNGOUS piece of groundbreaking news when it's actually got F*CK ALL to do with them is beyond me.

Would that I could reach through my computer monitor and give you a huge cuddle, because I really do feel for you ...

You will become stronger for this, and it will help you to shape yourself into a more complete and powerful individual for the future that lies ahead of you, have no doubt of that.

Thanks guys Rolleyes one day... that day I'm going to do alot of things... including laugh really really hard when they say "we accept you for who you are."

Sorry if I seemed like a big drama queen, by the way :tongue: But hey, life's moving on, and eventually things will get better (I think Rolleyes )

Great story. Wish it could happen that way to every child... It's bad enough realising you're different. But we're not monsters. What do parents think??? Glad yours still love you.

To friends, I was always out. It wasn't a case of telling them.
When you make out with girls in front of them, they kind of just assume.

With family - I was on the phone to my girlfriend of the time.
We were talking about coming out and I thought to myself "right. I'm going to do it now. If I don't do it, I never will."
So I asked my girlfriend if she would stay on the phone while I done it so that I knew I couldn't back out.
So I put my phone in my back pocket and went into the front room and told my mum while my girlfriend was listening in from my back pocket!
My mum then told the rest of my family.
It really couldn't have gone better.

"What are you like!!!!", as my boyfriend always says to me. Well, I hope it wasn't too much of a heart render.

Hahahah aww, no it was a natural end more than an abrupt, unexpected one.

I'm not out yet with my family, I'm waiting to be fully independent, that should come soon. I think they more or less know however (once my mom argued with my homophobic brother in law that he should accept me if I turned out to be gay...)

With my friends I'm totally out. I talked directly to the first few, and then they learned from others or by the school's online yearbook. All the reactions have been good except a wierd one : he ran to his room and came back with his bible to quote me how I would go to hell, but he has accepted me soon after.
