✨ Inspirational Coming Out Stories ✨
When many people think about coming out stories, they might think of some ‘big, giant story’, some might even think of an influencer coming out on YouTube and TikTok for all to see. It’s important to remember that everyone is different, and on their own journey! So not every story is going to be the same. We’re here to support you :) Here are some coming out stories shared in the Blue Fever app by our LGBTQIA+ community members.
“So I just came out as bisexual to one of my best friends. We were sitting together waiting for the classroom to open up and we were talking about if we saw any cute boys. She said, “I don’t really see anyone I find cute. I do see some cute girls though!” I said “Same! I’m actually looking at a cute girl now.” She got so cute and put her head in her jacket to cover up.” - @Queen_Leo
“Came out to my dad like a week ago. He said I will always be his princess. To anyone that’s struggling with being LGBTQIA+ or coming out, just know that no matter what the reaction is, it’s ok to be who you are.” - @Fenneko
“Finally came out to my boss. It went better than expected!” - @WhimsicalWhispers
“I came out today! My mom supports me and calls me by my preferred name. She even calls me her son. My dad and brother might not support me so much but at least my mom does.” - @Luvkaa
“I came out as Asexual yesterday to a few of my closest friends. I’ve never felt more at home in my entire life.” - @Sleepy_Bee
“Just came out as Bi to my brother and he gave me a big hug So proud of myself for being brave and telling him.” - @Calm_Werewolf
If you’re thinking about coming out but aren’t sure what to say, here is a coming out script that may help:
“Hey Mom/Dad, there's something important that I want to share with you. I've been doing a lot of self reflecting, and I've come to realize that I am [insert your sexual orientation or gender identity here]. I wanted you to know that this is a part of who I am, and it's important for me to be honest with you.
I understand that this might be surprising or something you may need time to process, and that's okay. I hope you can see that my intention in sharing this with you is to be open and true to myself, and to let you into an important aspect of my life. I love and value our relationship, and I want to be able to be my authentic self around you.”
