Mine was in fifth grade when I had a HUGE crush on my best friend. We're still best friends to this day, and they just came out as lesbian. I came out to my mom, brother, and all of my friends, but I waited until about 2 years to tell my dad, because, you know, h o m o p h o b i a.

I figured out I was lesbian because I would always get nervous when I would go into the bra or makeup section in stores because of the models XD (this was in 5th grade). I came out to my mom and all my friends 3 years later.

I found out I was asexual a night before my race. It kind of startled me but at the same time it didn’t because I was reading an article one day and it was about like the percentage of people who don’t want to do that thing sure. And I was like wow I’m part of them but I never knew there was a name for it. My parents know because they read my texts but about a week or two later my friend again helped me to find out I was aromantic and I am forever grateful to her.

I always got this feeling when i would walk pass a victorias secret in a mall and saw the models in bras and stuff. And like when my mom took me shopping with her to look at bras (idk why) I was getting that weird feeling when i would see the model. Sorry idk how to describe the feeling but i havent told anyone im bi cuz i know for a fact it wont end well. My family has told me that my friend cant be bi cuz shes only 12 so im scared to know how they would react if i came out...

So my best friend, meowmeowUwU, helped figure out I was bi. I mean, at our Christmas party for band, I kept spilling her drink on the floor. We went to the bathroom to get paper towels, and she kissed me. I kinda liked it. We actually dated for a little while, nothing serious tho. We never officially broke up but we kinda just, telepathically figured out we weren't dating anymore. But now I have my amazing boyfriend. I still haven't come out to my parents, I never thought I needed to because while I am bi, I'm in a stereotypical straight relationship.

I realized i was bi after i was just like mentally going over me and one of my friend's friendship, and i was like, holy s**t... i have a crush on this girl. My parents are homophobic so when i came out on accident to them i had to switch schools, because they thought i was trying to be "rebellious", and then my mom says i'm too young to make that decision because i haven't had enough dating experience yet :/ bruh i'm 13 (which i know is still really young) but like i might not have dating experience but i'm pretty sure i know when i have a crush on someone.

I remember seeing people ask other people who their crush was and I started liking the opposite gender. I had a crush on my BFF for so long! Thankfully my parents were fine with it when I came out!

I had always thought that I would be with a boy. All my best friends were gay and I always had felt out of the mix. My “boyfriend” (more like little boy who thought he was my soulmate) at the time didn’t know that my friends were gay. I soon realized that my feelings were for my best friend. My friends and I are still trying get my “boyfriend” to realize that I am gay. Comment if you have any suggestions...

I am trans, and gay, and I thought I was just another dis, straight girl. Who was just really interested in gender and sexuality stuff. Then, I was reading an article, and one sentence that really stood out was this: If you think about your gender 24/7, you probably aren’t cis. So, cue the 2 month long journey of figuring myself out, and here we are. If you are still figuring yourself out, i recommend checking out the LGBTA wiki, as there are lots of articles, and the people on there are super nice. Remember, you are valid!

right , buckle up for this one !

ive always known im a lesbian and last year i tried to come out to my internalised homophobic dad. as i declared my sexuality with courage , my brother came strolling into the room to say "no youre not! youve slept with a boy nakie!" and then strolled back out . my dad moved out years ago so he scooted back to his house immediatly , thinking that his precious 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER has already lost her virginity and to make it worse , is gay .

that took a while to patch up.

It was the summer before 6th grade and I became a little bi-curious. I've dated both guys and girls. My parents found out I was bi going through my texts.

I was weirdly fascinated with gay things from age 15 or so, but was definitely not interested in being with girls. I came out as lesbian at 19/20, but didnt date or do anything sexual until 22/23. Much later on I learned about being asexual, and now identify as demisexual. I came out as ace pretty publicly a few years ago, as I was on a tv show talking about it.

Currently I am 35, married to my wife and we are expecting our 3rd child ❤ It does get so so much better

So I spent a lot of my time thinking about my sexuality, just after my friend came out as gay, and I came out to myself as bisexual. I then came out to my friends, pretty easily, but how I came out to my dad is a different story. So me and my friend were making mini pride flags to give out at our school, and I started making some at home, and then my dad walks in (a straight cis man btw) and sees all these flags. He's like wtf are these, and I said to him, they are lgbt pride flags. I then explain what each of them are, I'm going through, gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non binary, ace, ally.. and my step mum's like, "so, which one are you?" I'm thinking wtf do I say?? Do I say it???
So I just say, I think I'm bi. And my dads like "oh, ok" so that's fine now. Occasionally he can get mildly homophobic, but overall he's a great guy.

I came out to my mum a few days ago, and I knew she would be supportive, but it was just so hard, you know? But I'm sitting next to her, and I say, you know, I have something to say, I've been thinking about my sexuality a lot, and I'm, I'm, bi.
And she's like oh great me too!!
LMAO WTF!!!!!!???!?!??!?!!

I just gradually felt less and less attracted to boys and I started finding girls more attractive. I originally thought I was bi and went through about half a year of figuring out my sexuality (boy was that hard), but I figured out after a while that I was a lesbian, and I told my friends who were all supportive. I told my family not too long after that and they were accepting, but told me not to define myself too early on in my life (t'was good advice, but I didn't care :D).

Right now, I'm very comfortable with my sexuality and how I define myself and have no doubts about my identity. Although it is totally possible for me to identify differently in the future (and that's totally ok), I am a lesbian and proud of it.

(and now every time homophobe enters my room, they have a big fat rainbow flag glaring at them, hehehehe)

I'm bi. I have a crush on one of my friends from school, but I also have a crush on a guy. The only one who knows that knows me perosnally is my very best friend and my dog because I tell him everything. I am afraid to tell my parents becuase they are religous. So am I, but I don't think God is against queer people. Even if it is a sin, everyone sins, right?
