Funny responses you got when you came out

I came out to my roommate over text this summer, and she said she wasn't surprised. I asked why not and she replied something to the effect of, "Well, you carry a bifold wallet. No straight girl would carry something that bulky in her back pocket because it would make her butt look funny."

 

A friend of mine sat me down to explain how he didnt care about my sexuality took him 30 minutes his speech ending with "so basically I dont care"

 

told a friend in school and then he ended up falling down the stairs XD

 

I told my mum she said

"you always used to prance about on your tippy toes since you were five years old"

 

This happened just tonight,

Me: I'm gay
Him: what! Are you joking?
Me: Haha no
Him: so are you gonna start dating those twinkie guys now?

I couldn't stop laughing at him then I told him its a twink and he started laughing too

 

I was sitting in a cafe with a friend A (who is on my course) and a friend B (her friend who is a lesbian) who I had met only a couple of times before that.

A: So Sade, what are you doing after this?
Me: Well, I was planning on going to the LGBT club meeting.
A: So you're turning a new leaf in your life?
Me: *sort of understanding what she means but being very confused by the phrasing of the question* What leaf?
A: A new leaf! So you're going to be batting the other team now?
Me: What team?!
B: My team!
Me: Oh, are you trying to ask am I gay?
A: Yeah! Are you just trying it out?
Me: Well no, I'm gay.
A: I didn't know that!
B: C'mon A, she's wearing rainbow earrings!


Apparently the earrings are working just the way I want them to work. Only gay people seem to be noticing them!

 

My most common reaction is "I always wanted a gay friend!!"
when i told a good female friend she said "Oh cool, my Dads gay too"
Here's some others
"So do you like to wear panties?"
"Just don't try anything with me or I'll castrate you"
and lastly "I thought liking girls was the only thing normal about you!"

 

While we were at the beach in the peak of summer, with about 10,000 other people on the beach and my friend when I told him goes "So you're gay then, see anyone you like?" in front of a group of lifesavers
"OMG! Now we have someone to go on shopping trips with!"
"You are sleeping on the otherside of the room"
My friend at uni screamed out "I KNEW IT!" in the middle of a lecture with 390 other people in it, everyone stared at her
Another funny reaction was my friend at a party. He was drinking and sprayed it all over a group of people and proceded to fall off the balcony into a pool below

 

lol at the panties and castrate reaction

 

I went to see Friends with Benefits with a guy friend who I thought new about my orientation. But apparently he hadn't picked up on it before. So we were discussing the film during the credits. I had thought it would be rubbish before I saw that Mila Kunis was in it.

Me: And she was cute.
Him: Cute?
Me: Yeah.
Him: Wait, what... she??
Me: *stares at him*
Him: Oh. That's interesting.
Me: Really?
Him: Yeah... So you kept looking at her more than him??

Just today, actually, one of my good friends told another one of my friends who's gay that I was a lesbian. The boy, Nikki, called me over at our lunch table and whispered to me saying that someone had told him I was les. The girl who told him, Sara, also pulled me aside to apologize since she didn't know I wanted it so hushed up, but she hadn't told anyone else about it. I wasn't mad at either of them because they didn't know better, they swore they wouldn't tell anyone else, and they were both really happy and supportive of me. ^-^

And the funny part was that when Nikki was asking me to confirm (because apparently he's been really wanting a lesbian friend to talk to) and I whispered back reluctantly that I was, he was all "I like orange juice, too!!" And I played along saying "No way!! Apple juice is sooo much better!!" XD Lol! So one more person knows, but everything went really well, thankfully!~

 

Well after I came out to some of my friends (2 girls & 1 guy), so one of the girls tells me to kiss ****** (The guy) to prove it. So I lean over and close my eyes then I feel a pain on my chest, turns out ****** had punched me in the chest and I was pushed back into my seat. So when I open my eyes I see ****** just staring at me like I had just killed a man, and in the back the two girls are laughing their asses of.:lol:

 

I was nervous when I came out to my father and his partner, but that story would become just the first of many humorous coming out stories for me.

It ended with my father asking me "the critical question": "Do you like Bette Midler." When I said, "yes," that confirmed it for him. (!)

 

Every person I've come out to so far has basically had the same reaction:

"I always had a feeling you liked guys too...." I never figured out why until I was talking to my friend the other day while watching the food network and she mentioned wanting to learn to knit and I said "I can knit, sew, and can kind of crochet" and cut myself off there as it all just kinda fell into place.....

 

My all time favorite was when I came out rather casually to one of my mature student female friends. She had a slight look of shock and then grinned and asked, "So, who out of our lecturers are gay?" We had previously had a discussion into the sexual orientation of a couple of our lecturers. I just laughed and said my gaydar had never been that great. She even wanted me to make flirty eyes with one of them to find out. I said I didn't want a fat lip. She is still trying to get me to say :lol:

Another was when I came out to my male housemates after sharing a couple of drinks. They were both very supportive but one was very vocal in his shock. The words "NO WAY!" could probably have been heard in Birmingham.

I also ended up going into a discussion with one of my friends over the internet about the ins and outs of homosexuality. I think I felt more uncomfortable than he did...

 

To a guy friend who I was really nervous about telling,

He saw my hands shaking and said, "what the hell are you about to tell me!"

Me, long pause "I'm gay..."

Him, "Really... Congrats bud," gives me a hug, "I've always called you cupcake, I never knew you were one though." Then he kept talking to me and calming me down.

He couldn't have been a better person to tell, I love him as a friend and you know, him calling me cupcake seems so much more affectionate now.

 

I was texting my new friend on coming out day
Me: So, for coming out day, I guess.
Her: Huh?
Me: You know, coming out day. As in coming out of the closet.
Her: I'm not following you. Am I really stupid now?
Me: Yes!!! What do people do on coming out day?
Her: Oh, that! Oh, awesome. You know, the Bubbleguppies are really crap.
Me: WTF are Bubbleguppies?
She didn't text back (so I still don't know what Bubbleguppies are)
The next day at school we were sitting at our usual spot during lunch.
Her: So!
Me: So?
Her: That was interesting.
Me: What, French?
Her: I was talking about yesterday.
Me (totally forgotten): ...You mean chemistry?
Her: *slapping me* No, your text.
Me: Oh.
Her: Yeah, oh.
Me: Was it?
Her: ???
Me: Interesting.
Her: Oh. No, actually. I kinda figured. Though you confused me when you told me about your holiday-boyfriend.
Me: That was a mistake. So why did you say it was interesting?
Her: Dunno. Thought it was a good way to bring it up.
Me: Okay.
Her: So, yeah, I just wanted to say I don't care. Cause I hadn't said that yet.
Me: You said: Awesome. I think that counts as saying you don't care.
Her: Oh. Yeah.
*Silence*
Me: So... what are the Bubbleguppies?
And that's when the bell rang, so I still don't know what they are.

 

I just came out to one of my best friends today and it was the funniest thing.
Me - So this last year and a half I've been thinking about some things and about what I want and I ended up seeing somebody this summer
Friend - WHAT? What's her name?
Me - Well... HIS name is ****
*Pause*
Friend - Well did he have a nice car?
Me - Haha No
Friend - Well you still have to give an opinion on girls I look at. It's the Bestfriend code.
Me - Haha Okay Fine. But you have to give an opinion on guys I look at.
Friend - *looks around* What about that one?
Me - Ew No
Friend - That one?
Me - NVM You suck at this
