    A friend and I were talking about our respective love lives (or lack thereof, in my case):

    Me: I have crappy luck. All the girls I fall for are gay and all the guys I fall for are straight
    Her: Wait, you've fallen for guys?
    Me: Yeah, I'm bi. [Smirks] Surprised?
    Her: No, not really. You gotta do what makes you happy.

    ------------------------------
    I list on Facebook (visible to friends, not family) that I'm interested in men and women, which has caused interesting comments before. For example:

    S (roommate): So [me], M (hallmate), G (M's roommate) and I saw on Facebook that you're bi. Is that actually true? [At the time, I wasn't aware that asexuality was actually a thing]
    Me: Yeah. Why do you ask?
    S: We weren't sure if that was true or not, or if you were gay. So you're actually bi?
    Me: Yeah.
    At this point I went down the hall to clairfy with M and G that I'm bi, but I don't think they believed me. To this day (and this happened three years ago), I'm pretty sure they think I'm gay.

    My friends were trying to work out who I had a crush on (which was a girl)
    Friend: Okay. Let's try this again. Is he in our class?
    Me: Yes
    Friend: Is he a boy?
    Me:...
    Friend: Is he a boy?
    Me...
    Friend:...
    Me: When I said I wasn't a lesbian earlier...I wasn't lying, because, you can't be a lesbian...if you're bi
    *complete silence*
    Friend: OH MY GOD HOW DID I NOT SEE IT HOW DID I NOT KNOW

    *a little while later my friend is still laughing about it*

    Friend: I'm so sorry, it's just...I've never...
    Me: *imitating her* OMG I've just, like, never met a real life gay person before!!!

    So that was fun...

    I'm not completely out but my brother has known I was since we were young. He was probably 7 and I was probably 10. We were watching WWE Wrestling and we were talking about getting 'hard'. He said he got it for the girls. I said I got it for the boys. And if that doesn't prove it's biological then I don't know what does.

    I told my sister I'm gay. Her response: "I think I kissed a girl when I was drunk at a bar once. It was a good kiss." And then she laughed.

    A couple years later, I tell her I'm genderfluid and that some mornings I want to be a boy, other mornings I feel comfortable in a dress and bikinis. Her response: "So what? I want a real, pulsing dick so I can feel it." We proceeded to have a good laugh about what our parents would say if they could hear our conversation.

    Friend: haha dont you think the pink colour schemes on these characters are a little...you know...gay? (we are talking about super smash bros 4 just to put it into context)

    Me: well....I am gay

    Friend: haha very funny

    me: no really

    friend: really?

    me: yes really

    friend: not joking?

    me: not joking

    friend: why are you doing this at your own house where your parents could hear?

    me: i have no idea

    friend: well i guess you have an excuse to use the pink colour scheme now, but why did you tell me?

    me: i dont know....





    haha he apparently always thought i was bisexual, goodness knows how one comes off as bisexual considering people usually decide that you come off straight or gay

    I like the way he didn't single out who he would have thought to be gay.

    Dad: "So, I've been wanting to talk to you about something your Mother said to me."

    Me: "Is this the gay thing?"

    Dad: "Yes! Oh, boobs are great aren't they?"

    Basically how it went.

    My best friends response was 'We totally need to get you a girlfriend it will be fun'

    I'm just glad that no one I know has judged me, I got so scared that they would judge me but they didn't, my mum was a bit wary when I first told her but we talked about it and she understands now... I was scared people were going to treat me different and that was what I was scared of

    Not 100% sure if this counts, but oh well.

    So, when I first went to University, I decided to sign up for it's LGBT group during clubs week.
    A family friend saw me when I was talking to the people there, and then walked away.

    And here's how it went:

    Me: ":eek: I got to to talk to him!" *runs after him*
    Me: "Don't tell anyone! I'm not out yet!"
    Him: "... out about what?"
    Me: :icon_redf "... you don't know...?"
    Him: "... wait, were you signing up for [group name here]?"
    Me: "Yeah..." :icon_redf
    Him: "Oooh."

    I don't remember exactly what we said, but that's how I accidentally came out to a friend of my family. :lol:
    He was completely fine with it. :slight_smile:

    The first person I came out to was like "As long as you aren't into me I don't mind" :bang: :grin:
