Pride!

Your Coming Out Stories: 15

This is @vaporpunk 's story

"so it was the summer of 2017 i believe and i had realized that after my sister came out to me as bisexual that i had an interest in girls too. i had "crushes" that were boys before so i thought i was bisexual too. fast forward a year and its pride month of 2018 and im in the car coming out as bisexual to my mom. she took it well; no one in my family is homophobic at all. so im out of the closet as bisexual but something just didn't feel right. i noticed that i didnt have a crush on any boy at my school. i didnt have a boy crush since the moment i found out i liked girls too. and so i thought "maybe im a lesbian" but my brain reminded me of my previous "crushes" on boys that i had in elementary. basically i came to the realization that i said i had a crush on a boy when every other girl in the school had said he was cute. ive never actually liked a boy ever. with this new information i had to re-come out to my mum and i was super nervous about it and im still not sure why. so i finally choked out to her that i was a lesbian a couple of weeks ago! that was very scary."
