Sometimes I wish I had the courage to tell everyone, but I know that right now where I am, and the circumstances of past mistakes, I wouldn't even dare come out to anyone unless I knew it wouldn't come back to haunt me later.

I've told my two sisters [also bi] and my twin brother. They were all cool about it.

The only thing that bugs me now is that my other siblings toss around fag like an insult all the time. It drives me nuts. They have no idea but they use the term when talking to me once in a while.

I always feel like going up to their faces and just screaming "I'M ONLY HALF A FAG DAMMIT!"

But eh, I'm too shy for that.

So that keeps it in check.

I still have not come out to any of my family but with the help of emerald_aradia I've been able to come out to some of my friends. I am officially out to 6 or 7 people. Coming out to more slowly. Ahh.

I wish I was out to everybody. It hurts.

YES! I just came out for the first time!!!
It feels fantastic, Omg I still can't belive I did it
Ok I only tolled a friend, but still its a first step...
I think that was the first time I managed to shock him into silence. hehehe
I can't stop grinning. lol Fantastic. And strangly enought it wasn't that hard. It just sort of came out.
I'm really happy about it now,but I don't know how I'll feel about it tomorrow. Hopefully it won't come back and bite me in the ass. But I don't think so.

Best of luck to everyone else who wants to come out.

Good job Foofighter! I have come out to more of my friends but I have yet to come out to my family. Doing that soon hopefully? yeah.

I haven't quite came out yet and I want the perfect way to do it. Two of my best friends are gay and one had a horrible coming out. He had a lot of gay friends on his myspace and that was how his family found out and they were VERY NON SUPPORTIVE. I'm only out to my closest friends that I am Bisexual...and my boyfriend is aware, and suprisingly, supportive. I don't really like the thought of telling my family. The whole thought just sickens me. As for other kids at school I thought of just putting Bi on my myspace and easing into it as one of my friends did...but I'm unsure.

Can someone help me?

I'm really afraid to come out. I know that if I do, everything will get sort of awkward or hateful in my life between me and the people I come out to. I'm pretty sure some of my closer friends have already guessed and they probably do accept that in me, but they wish I'd come out to them already. However, I know for sure that a lot of my friends or schoolmates will hate me or avoid me and my family will most likely be the same way too. I've only told one friend before. She was my best friend and she said I could trust her and she'd be by my side no matter what. But it was all a sort of lie and she totally abandoned me in the end. So I guess I could say that my only coming out experience wasn't the best. So that makes me even more reluctant to come out anytime soon. Although I did come out to my English teacher in a personal narrative we had to write recently and she seems really accepting.

But it's just really difficult to stay in the closet. My mom always gives me a hard time and tells me to act and look more like a girl, which I don't think she'd bother doing if she knew what was up. And everyone always asks me why I dress like a boy and why I don't grow my hair out long. It hurts to lie to people and feel like I can't even tell my friends the truth.
