The coming out thread

I'm bi.
I think.
<:\
That's the first time I've said that.

 

I'm gay, I'm gay, I'm gay and I'm in love WOOT WOOT go me go me hahahahahaha that was fun.

 

I'm bi

 

Im a 17 year old gay guy (ignore what it says in my profile i aint 23) who made a jackass out of myself on the opposite sex thread..apologies all around. I came out in December last year...hardest part was telling my dad but he was incredibly cool with it...as long as im happy hes fine.

 

ok i used 2 think i was bi, every1 at my skl nos. but noww i have realised tht im not bi... im gay, i told a few friends but not many, i think it was kind of a stepping stone. i still havent told my parents however, but hey i have friends 2 help me thru n now u guys 2 xxx

 

I'm a lesbian. I was supposed to come out to my parents this month, but my grandmother got really, really sick, and I think the last thing my parents need is me coming out right now. But I'm finding I'm quite eager to get it out of the way so I can stop lying to them.

 

I think I'm bisexual. Or gay. Or straight. I really dont know. :$

 

There is a good likelyhood you are one of the above

 

Hi Special Boy.... I Assume From Your Post You Have Already Eliminated The Possibility That You Could Also Be A Lesbian ??????......Just A Suggestion........... Always Happy To Help In Some Small Way.....Cheers Glen.

 

Yeah... I think I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body. I feel so misunderstood.

 

Hey everyone!
I am pretty unsure at this point where I stand on the sexual spectrum...definitely not straight. Either bi or full out lady-lovin lesbian. Sometimes I feel like the only way to know for sure is to experience both? ...But I guess that is pretty hard at this point because I have experienced neither, lol...just short term hetero flings here and there that have meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. All I know is that I am currently in love with a woman! ...Fuck it, I'm just gonna go with it. But this is me, coming out, to all of you! Still working on all this personally, but I can't wait until the moment where I am sure and can yell QUEER PRIDE on the rooftops! Why is it so difficult to find people to relate to in the non-internet world?
Peace and loving support to all.

Hey! I came out to my family this week, and it was OKAY!

 

Well, this is my first post, so why not make it be the most meaningful, haha. Yes, I'm gay and I've told quite a few friends, but none of my overly homophobic family...

 

Lets get this site going

I came out to my familly and somebody stabbed me in the foot with a red hot fire poker.
...NOT
I've come out but people think I'm just kidding cause I joke around a lot.

 

I have finally come out to myself and my best friend...I have no clue how I'm going to tell my mom. I'm pretty sure she won't disown me, but I'm still not sure how she'll take it...she'll probably just see my bisexuality as some sort of phase. I kinda swing more towards girls but I'm still attracted to guys sometimes. I do believe that there is no black and white when it comes to sexual preference...it's all gray, ranging in a spectrum from light to dark

 

I actually decided I needed to tell a family member, so I told my mom. She took it quite well, the she tried to trick me into saying I was just confused, now she understands and is fine with me.. As long as I adopt..

 

I'm definitely gay. Took me long enough to figure it out, but now I have, life is starting to make more sense

 

Hey,

Fairly new here, am 24 years old and had my first gay experience, about 4-5 months ago, and not sure theres any going back. ^^ I've had a bunch of girls in the past but its fairly clear why i tended to lack interest, tho i may try with girls again, still figuring alot out.

And recently found a really great guy whose mad about me, yay!

 

Okay, I'm 27 years old, I'm male and I'm gay. I've been out of the closet for 6 years. As far as my gay experiences go, it has been a really rocky road.

I had always liked guys for as far back as I can remember. My very first hardcore crush was when I was 12 in sixth grade. I can remember looking in his light brown eyes and getting lost in them. i thought about him all the time. However, I didn't really accept what was happening. That crush must have lasted 3 years. It seemed intense, but I was still very young.

After that, I had convinced myself that i was really straight and at that time I was 14 and had gotten a girlfriend and had my first sexual experiences. Throughout all of high school, I thought I was straight. It wasn't until my second year of college that my world imploaded.

I fell in love with one of my college roomates in my fraternity. He was sort of arty/sensitive so i thought that maybe something could happen. I thought that I loved him and I told him this and he told me that he loved me back. he would cuddle with me all the time. i love that feeling o feeling close to someone that you love. I craved it like a thirsty person craves water. However, in the end it never worked and my heart was broken, but i hid it amidst a curtain of anger.

After that, I had found a friend who was bisxual, very straight acting. I ended up having sex with him off and on for five years. After that i moved away to my home state and home city.

Once i had watched this Oprah episode, I'm not an avid Oprah watcher mind you, but it was talking about something called the "down low". It refers to straight guys or straight acting guys that no one knows has gay tendencies but they do and sometimes hit up gay people for sex. At the time, I thought that this was total BS. However, it's true, they are out there. I'm a big guy, pretty straight acting/dressing. Don't really have any of the stereotypical gay characteristics.

Just recently I fell in love again, this time harder than ever before. I absolutely loved this guy. I say loved, but what I really mean is love. I still love him deeply, but he is gone for at least 6 months at the moment. He's had me for 2 years. He's supposed to be straight but we had been hooking up off and on for about 9 months. I've probably known him for about 2 years now. He knows how I feel about him. That I love him and ache for him when he's not near me. It's been getting better for me recently since he's been gone. I did lose almost all my friends in the process of being with him. They couldn't stand to see me in a self destructive relationship with a straight guy. He told me he loved me and i told him he same. Even now, I still crave his touch, feel, smell, everything. I know I'm better off now, being much more sane and not in so much pain.

Why does love have to hurt so much?

I leave you with some song lyrics by Armor for Sleep - Awkward Last Words:

I wanna live again
I wanna start everything over again
I wanna get this right
I'll meet you in another life
Over again
I'm coming back around again
Coming back over again
I'm coming back around again,
but now it's over

We're out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is put you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me
Out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me

I'm gonna make this work
I'm gonna change everything wrong with me
I'm gonna prove you wrong
when I meet you in another life
Over again
I'm coming back around again
Coming back over again
I'm coming back around again,
but now it's over

We're out of time and I can't breathe

I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me
Out of time and I can't breathe
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me

I never had the gift of holding on to you
so far..so far away
No I, never had to give up of holding on to you
so far..so far away

I wanna live again [x3]
I wanna start everything over again
I wanna live again [x3]
I wanna start everything over again

We're out of time and I can't breathe [x5]
I told you not to believe in me
'Cause all I do is push you far away from me
All I do is push you far away from me
