BuzzyBoy Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by BuzzyBoy What were your family and friend’s reaction to your coming out? My mom knows i’m bi, and has for about 3 years now. I was thinking about when she found out that I liked girls and I’m honestly wondering why I wasn’t more upset by her reaction (I’ll get to the details in a second). Now i just find it awkward to talk to her about anything (there are many other factors but this experience is one of the big ones), especially my sexuality, and I get uncomfortable when she asks me if i have a crush or if I’m dating someone. I always tell her no even if the answer is yes. Last year she asked me if I was dating one of my best friends and got mad at me when i started laughing when I honestly thought it was a joke. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. Now to the coming out (which wasn’t really a coming out until later): My crush invited me to the library and all of my friends were joking that it was a date. I mentioned it to my mom like “all my friends are joking and saying it’s a date haha.” I never called it a date myself or mentioned anything about a crush but my mom immediately said, “A date can’t be between two girls.” A few weeks later at the halloween dance my parents asked if my crush was going to be there and his name. I said that her name was x. My stepdad seemed unbothered but my mom looked like she wasn’t happy but was trying to hide it. Later, (can’t remember if it was a few days or weeks) my mom sat me down and said that she was talking to one of her coworkers about it and realized she “didn’t react the best.” What hurts about this is that it took someone else to realize that my sexuality was okay and not her own child. It also hurts that she told someone else MY sexuality which is NONE of their business. I completely understand and realize that I have it so much better than other lgbt kids, but I still can’t help but feeling off or wrong about it when I think back on it. Does anyone else have a similar experience?
cait7313 Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by cait7313 so this was a funny but also not so funny story. a long time ago i downloaded an app called wish i believe? it’s anonymous and you can talk to anyone and i was struggling with mental health and i felt like i could confide in people. so in that app i joined an lgbt group and later that night i showed my dad a meme on my phone and i got a notification. a few hours later he searched through the app (it’s been three years since i’ve spoken to him he was abusive and manipulative) but he somewhat forced me to come out. and this was 5 years ago i was still confused and didn’t know what my sexuality was. so after i stopped seeing him i labeled myself as bi and told my mom. she said she’d love me no matter what but it did confuse her how i could like both, she’s kind of a “pick one”. she definitely supports me and loves me no matter what but it does confuse her. what confused her even more was two years ago i said i think i’m pan... she doesn’t understand non-binary just because no ones educated her on it. i did my best and she continued to love and support me. now I am dating a trans man for just over two years now and she considers him our family. now i don’t label myself because i’m just confused and that’s okay
11076330 Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by 11076330 Thats so sad.If you dont mind me asking are your parents okay with you being non-bioanry? (sorry if I spelled it wrong) To me it dosent matter what gender you are or if your non-bioanry or not.To me people or people and we should treat each other equaly and fair. It makes me mad that people are judging each other either for their skin color or gender and sexuality. I dont understand why we all just cant get along. I hope you are having a good and happy life tho.In foster care we get bullied a lot because of were we came from.And I got bullied a lot on the internet just because Im a foster kid (im not a kid Im a young teen but I still stick with the word kid) I wish one day humanity could just get along (also sorry if I spelled some words are spelled wrong) I think you should listen to the songs called Just like this and Hold On I think they will help you out!The helped me out.The song Hold On helped me calm down because I dont know my real past nor my real parents.All my life has been a complete mystery.Not even CPS or the people who adopted me know.Now im back in foster care again. I hope the song Just Like This helps you!

BuzzyBoy Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by BuzzyBoy @11076336 they don’t know that i’m nonbinary and it’s definitely not something i want to talk to them about
11076330 Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by 11076330 Good never mention it to them.Once I told my foster parents that im messed up and that I was a mistake.They ended up getting made.I ended up running away and the police came.I was not mental or anything but I was pretty mad.I cant help but thin if my parents even remember me.But know I just like to keep it to myself.I hope you are doing okay and that your not hurt in anyway.

sadnymph Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by sadnymph im really scared to come out to my parents, im bisexual. i have days where i really wanna get it over and done with but then i get scared. i tell my mama about homophobic things people at my school do (i go to a school where all the teachers are really accepting but lots of the kids are homophobic) and she tells me im just being "woke" do any of you know what i should do? mama isnt homophobic, but i dont think she understands it much ❤️
BuzzyBoy Bracelet King	4 years, 2 months ago by BuzzyBoy @sadnymph i don’t want to tell you if you should or should not come out, because i believe that is a decision you have to make on your own, but i can offer you advice and a support system. i think you should talk to her more about her opinions on the topic before you make a final decision. just remember that you have a HUGE support system, and so many people who have your back (including myself) no matter what happens and how she reacts. if you believe that you should come out to her, than i think you should do so, but if you decide that you don’t want to, you are still 100% valid.
