Funny responses you got when you came out

Coming out as trans was difficult. I had just made up with my parents a few months ago after not talking with them for eight years, nearly nine. They'd been really warm, caring, and open with me and we'd talked about a lot of the issues we'd had back then. For the first time in my life, I felt appreciated, and we got along.

When I was younger, from the time I was twelve or so, I tried writing down what I would tell them, but I would always throw it away or burn the letter out of fear. And to be honest, knowing them as they were then it was probably for the best. Since the day I started talking to them I'd began writing the letters again, and then fathers day came around.

I invited my dad to go out to his favourite little food stand, and we talked about life, and the way things had gone. All throughout the day I made sure to tell him that sometimes life doesn't give us a straightforward path. I told him how much I appreciated and cared about him. I told him about how much the day we started talking again and all the time since had meant to me. And then when it was time to part ways, I left him with an eight paragraph letter detailing my feelings and convictions.

I got a call later that night, from my parents. They told me that in retrospect, it hadn't been that much of a shock. I'd never dated, not guys, not girls, and so they knew something was up. I'd always been quite effeminate. And I always had cried very often and easily. They told me that, they weren't going to drive me away, and that it was my choice. That whatever path I needed to walk, they would be there for me.

On the other hand, coming out to a female friend of mine went something like this.

Me: So, I have something to tell you, and this make be a game breaker for us. Know that you mean a lot to me and whatever you choose to do I will always remember the good times.

Her: You're an mtf trans aren't you?

Me: *Shocked* Wh-how?

Her: Yeah I know like three. *Hugs*

 

Me: So... I'm bisexual.
Friend: OH MY SOUL I KNEW IT I KNEW MY GAYDAR WASN'T WRONG OH MY SOUL I TOTALLY SAW THIS COMING!
Me: What? How?
Friend: You were, like, the most rainbow straight person I know. And might I add, I totally saw this coming.

I fail at being in the closet. :lol:

 

My favorite response I've gotten is when I came out to my gay friend.
Me: I'm a lesbian
Him: My little girl is growing up!!
Me: LOL!!

Another funny one is from my little sisters
Me: I'm gay.
Sister 2: I am too.
Me: ???
Sister 2: Ohhh You mean lesbo?
Me: Yeah..
Sister 2: Then how come you've had five hundred boyfriends??
Sister 1: I already knew.
Me: HOW?????
Sister 1: I'm a wizard, Howie. (that's their nickname for me)

 

A conversation with my sister and I (she already knows about the girl im dating)

my sis: so, have you kissed her?

me: yes

sis: EW!

me: not ew...amazing

sis: no, pretty gross

I run to the kitchen where my mom is and yell "MOOOM, (sister) IS MAKING FUN OF MY SEXUALITY!!!"

mom: what?!??

me: uhhh..

sis: yeah, she has a girlfriend

mom: oh, who?

me: (girlfriend)

sis: you know the REEALLY hyper one, like worse than (my friend) hyper

mom: oh, hunny you need to get a new girlfriend
~~~~
A couple weeks later my sis and I are talking about about my girlfriend, my mom hears something and says "What?"

me: just talking about (girlfriend) and how how her dad is being stupid and not letting us be together and stuff

mom: oh, I thought you guys were kidding

 

Me: blah blah blah blah blah....blah blah blah....I'm gay.
My Mom: OH. Well, you know that doesn't change anything right?
Me: Yah.
Mom: Will you still walk the dogs?

Haha! But we did have a deep discussion, thanks for all the help guys - now I just gotsta tell a few more people!

 

:roflmao:

 

My mtf girlfriend came out to her best friend- his response was to tell her to get big boobs when she got the surgery so that she could manipulate men with her cleavage. I nearly died laughing when she told me.

:roflmao:

 

My best friend said, "Now I can judge more people who date you" haha

 

Me - Never have I ever dated a boy.
Friend - So you've dated a girl.
Me - Um yeah, actually.
Friend - Don't fucked with me. Seriously?
Me - Seriously.
Friend - Cool.

 

During Truth or Dare -
Guy : "If you were a lesbian, which girl here would you fuck?"
Me : "Well I am bisexual..."
Bunch of other people : "Really?! That's so cool!"
Girl : "Oh come on, I know it'd be me!"
Me : "Yeah... I'm not gonna lie, it'd definitely be you!"

 

Me: I'm gay...
Friend: so if I rub my boobs in your face you won't get a boner?!
Me: urm...no.
Friend: fuck...I thought you were just a bit camp.
:lol:

 

I told one of my best friends last night... (It took me an hour and a half. xD)
She was fine with it! It wasn't until she started asking questions that it got funny.

E: So, basically, you think you're a guy in a girl's body?
Me: Yeah, that's pretty much how it works...
E: No wonder you didn't want to buy a dress...

 

*after a very long, personal discussion with my dad*
Him: So... Who's cute?

This is extra amusing because he teaches at my school, and thus knows every guy in the Senior and Junior class...

 

This isn't really a response, but I thought it was amusing. This is how I came out to my two younger sisters.

Me: "So you know how sometimes girls use the phrase 'How come all the nice guys are either taken or gay?' Well... I'm not taken."

 

I've only really come out to two people, and i came out to both at the same time when i was really drunk. At this point i'd drank a bottle of Jagermeister and was almost done with a bottle of wine and i just turned round and said:
me: we've known each other for a while now
girl:.....yeah
guy:...
me: i feel like i should really be honest with you
girl: SECRETS!
(i normally avoid telling anyone anything about myself)
guy: oh fucking hell...im gonna get a drink
*walks out* (i think he knew what was coming, i've known him for since i was 11)
Me: Thing is...im gay
girl: fuck off
Me: yeah, its true
*guy walks in*
guy: what i miss?
me: im gay
guy:....ok
girl: really? is that why when i said i had a thing for you you turned me down?! i spent an hour crying over that!
me: yeah, sorry
Girl: oh well
Me: is that it?
girl: what? you expect some sort of big deal?
me: well, yeah, kinda
guy: sucks to be you



It wasnt until much later that i found out neither of them really believed me, because apparently earlier in the night i had claimed i could be an actor and they laughed at me telling me i couldnt lie for shit. They thought i'd made it all up to prove i could act, it wasnt until they added everything up that they realised i was telling the truth

I thought i'd add this one, not really coming out but a funny remark anyway.

Me and the two i'd come out to were heading towards a restaurant. It had just finished raining and a double rainbow appeared
Girl: Oh! Pretty! A double rainbow!
Me: Thats weird, i feel drawn to the rainbow for some reason. lol
Guy: Oh i get it! You draw power from a rainbow like superman draws power from the sun!

Me and my guy friend are both nerds, which made it a superlol for us both.

 

[names replaced]
So I told Julie and Katie, some girls I eat lunch with, I was gay. The next day we were talking.
Katie: I'm wearing this new dress.
Me: You look beeeeutiful Julie. (I said the wrong name) I...I mean Katie!
Julie: You srsly forgot my name?
Taby: (Who I didn't tell at this point) At least we know [Me] like Julie!

Katie, Julie, and I looked at each other and laughed. I then told Taby.

 

So I had finally decided to come out to my fraternity brothers, we had a member who was gay and one who was bi already, so I felt pretty comfortable. We were having our weekly chapter meeting and it came to the point where we where asked if we had anything to announce, I raised my hand and started:

Me: So I've been struggling with it for a while, but after a lot of self reflection I've come to realize that I am Bisexual, (trying to lighten the mood with a joke i say) and I find none of you fuckers attractive.

Brother A: (He stands up points and shouts very seriously) Not cool man, (changes his tone to joking) I think I look very smexy.

We all laughed and were very jokey and friendly after that.

I don't remember everything that was said after that but a few comments that stick out are.

You are the worst dressed queer I've ever met.

You know I'm still gonna make gay jokes right.

(I had roomed with the Bi member the term before)
So Ted turned you huh.

So I guess this means you're an ass man.

So that's why you always won at gay chicken.

(It had become known that one of our straight members had been kissed by a gay friend of his when he was going through a bi-curious phase)
So are you jelly of Mike?

Please tell me you are at least a top.

Then when I told my mother

Me: I'm Bisexual
Her: So you aren't gay?
