Funny responses you got when you came out

Me: I'm...gay.
Close friend: ...
[Silence]
Close friend: ...isn't there another sentence? Babe I knew that before you did.

It just amused because there was this look on her face as if she was still expecting me to say something else, like "I'm gay and have a boyfriend."

 

I told my Best friend I'm a crowded Mall food court over pizza.
Me-Well I'm transgender..
Friend-Ok, I'm going to have to process that.
Me - I understand It took me some time to understand..
*Friend cuts me off in mid sentence*
Friend - Oooo! Are you going to get boobs?! Cuz that would to be Hot!
Oooo Lets go get colour matched at Macys!
Me - Sooo, you need to process this?
Friend - Yah, No Im good... you're still a dork though.

 

I've just started coming out, and when I came out to my best mate she laughed and said "hun, I don't care if you're gay, straight, bi or a f*****g alien... I love you for you " I was so nervous about telling her too because of all the times we've shared a bed and stuff... When I told her I said and I don't fancy you! That would be like liking my sister... eww hahah she the best mate I've ever had and I can't believe how supportive she's being too she's even offered to fly to spain with me when I tell my parents haha

Dad sits at the kitchen table and runs his fingers through his hair.

I ask him what's wrong, and if their is anything I can say or do to make this easier for him.

He replies that there is nothing wrong, and that he just had this thought:

"My son is gay, my daughter is dating a black boy, I used to be a stripper, and your mom is well... You know. We are just one big F##ked up happy family."

He looked up at me and smiled, then said that life is full of surprises.

 

After crying to my therapist for 4 months about uncontrollable anxiety...and my issues with dating...

Him: "Well...do you even want to date?"
Me: "The problem is...I'm not sure I want to date only men. I like women, too."
Him: "Ah-HA!!! So THAT'S what this is all about..."

Then he smiled at me, and it was the most comforting smile. He was the first person I'd ever come out to, and he was so cool. I mean, I know he's a therapist, but still.

 

Scene: Character known as "me" sits next to girl henceforth to be referred to as "her" before graphic design class, It is early and not enough caffeine has been consumed by either party.

Her: OH MY GOD! There is a new episode out!!!!!!

Her: My Little Pony Ohmygoddoyouwatchit????
Me: Sorry, buuuut, no.
Her: But it's so good! YOU SHOULD BE A BRONY!!!!***
***Brony: a male with a passion for my little pony***
Me: No, it's just not something I am into.
Her: (Hoping to change topic by turning on Pandora Radio. A Taylor Swift song comes on) OH! I love this song. Don't you like her?
Me: You mean, Taylor Swift, or this song?
Her: Both! I mean, don't you think she is pretty too?
Me: I guess.
Her: How can you not think she is beautiful? Look at her! You don't have to like her music, but you must at least admit she's good looking.
Me: I suppose. I mean, she is pretty I guess.
Her: Oh my god! What kind of girl do you like?
Me: Pardon?
Her: What are you attracted to?
Me: Men.
Her: (Shocked and confused) Ooooh. Oh my God I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I asked!
Me: Don't worry about it. Haha, it's no big deal.
Her: Oh, okay... (long awkward silence.....)

WAIT!!!! AND YOU AREN'T A BRONY!?!? YOU ARE SO FRUSTRATING.

Me:

 

Granted this was, oh... two years ago. But I used to work at a pizza place. It was a privately owned placed, the owners were a young married couple, husband and wife, and were absolutely AWESOME to work for. I didn't really come out to them; felt no need to. It just came up in conversation since I was already friends with a number of my coworkers. And Amber (the wife), walks up behinds me, grabs me by the shoulders, spins me around, and says,

"Ohhhhh, so you're a ladies lady, eh?" in some sort of terrible attempt at a... Spanish accent... maybe. And starts SINGING! I don't remember exactly what aha, she was just making it up as she went alone. And I'm standing there, presumably looking like a deer in the headlights (because how do you react to that?) and everyone starts laughing hysterically, the customers in the front of the store are just STARING. After I got over my initial shock , I started laughing like everyone else. Overall it was a pretty typical day at work. I really do miss those crazy people :lol:

 

Troy- *sends offensive picture*
Me- I don't find that funny
Troy- why not? Only gay people wouldn't find that funny?
Me- and if I said I'm gay, what would you think?
Troy- your kidding? Right?
Me- *sends pic of me and the bf"
Troy- omg for real?! How could I not know?!
Me- are you ok with this?
Troy- it depends, do you think I'm hot? Because I think I'm pretty hot, you know I've been hit on by guys..
Me- yes Troy. You're hot. But not my type.
Troy- *sends pic of friend* do you think he's gay? I do. But you have severely broken my gaydar now and I have know idea.
Troy- wait your still coming out to Pburg to hang out right??

 

On the phone with my sister. She'd known I'd been questioning at least, but hadn't come to any conclusions:

Me: Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say I'm gay. So, yeah.
Sister: DAMN IT! My fantasy football team lost! This is how little I care about the fact you're gay. I blew right past it to bitch about fantasy.


I just burst out laughing.

 

Me and my boyfriend decided to come out to a couple of our friends (both lesbians who've been dating for a year now).

Friend 1: so wait you guys are gay.
Bf: well I am, he's (me) bi
Friend 2: I don't believe you
Friend 1: yeah, how do we know your not one of those bi now gay later guys
Me: trust me I'm not
Friend 1: prove it
Me: how?
Friend 2: ok how about this, you 2 (me and my bf) kiss
*we kiss*
Friend 2: ok now you (me) and me kiss
Me: woah what??
Friend 2: you heard me
me: I thought you weren't into guys
friend 2: I'll make an exception
Me: *looks at friend 1 who could probably kick the crap out of me* you ok with this?
Friend 1: promise not to steal her from me?
Me: I don't know, I might not be able to help myself
*she fake punches me*
Me: ok...fine you can have her afterwards
Friend 1: ok then go right ahead
Me: *looks at my bf* how about you?
Bf: if it settles this whole thing then I'm fine as long as we're still together afterwards (hes laughing the entire time)
me: alright then
*we kiss*
Friend 1: ok I believe you
Friend 2: me too, can we go? I need to wash the taste of guy out of my mouth
*we all laugh hysterically*

Probably a more had to have been there, but it was still pretty funny

 

I sure hope I have a funny coming out story! Haven't really done that yet, I feel a bit young

 

So, this was more a funny coming-out-as-a-response-to-funniness.

So, I've been out, but when I got to college it was this thing that came up time to time. So I was sitting at a table with T, S, and D. S and D already knew I was gay.

So, T was talking to S about how he didn't think he could ever give a guy a blowjob, and S (S is a girl, btw) was emasculating him by being 'braver' than him because she could. When she seemed incredibly confused about her ability to give a BJ to a guy being emasculating, T turned to me and asked "But, no, really, could you imagine sucking a guy off?"
Me: "Uh, well actually..."
D: "Actually I'm pretty sure he'd be into that."
T: ".............well, you get my point!"

 

Coming out to my family was interesting, it wasn't as funny as some of the posts above; but I wasn't expecting it: xD
Me: I'm trans.
Family:....*awkward silence*
Dad: I knew it.
Mom: ...are you sure you're not just a lesbian?
Me: positive, I like guys.
Mom:...and you want a penis?
Me: mmhm...
Mom: well I always knew that you were very special <3

 

So 2 years ago, in a conversation with my mother ...
Mom: So Brittney's completely gay?
Me: Yes.
Mom: But she slept with men before.
Me: Okay, well she doesn't anymore.
Mom: Well, I don't get it, is she gay or straight? How can she be gay if she slept with a man?
Me: I don't know her reasoning for sleeping with a man before, but yes she is a lesbian.
Mom: Hmmm, weird.
Me: Mom, you know I'm bi right?
Mom: *silence for about a solid minute, where she just looks at me* - Well I dated a woman in my twenties for a while. *And then she walks away.*

WTF was that?

However in conversations since then, she either has forgotten I am bi or has blocked it out. But either way it was a weird conversation.

 

I came out as bi to my mum several years before I came out to her as trans (F2M). This resulted in the following responses:

Response when I came out as bi: "That's OK. That means you can choose to only go out with men. I don't think you should go out with any women."

Response when I came out as trans: (after initial freak out) "Well at least you're bi. That means you can now choose to only go out with women. If you're going to be a man, I don't think you should go out with any men."

Interesting!
