Funny responses you got when you came out

*me and my friends were talking about having kids*
Me: Yeah, I'd like to adopt kids one day.
Friend: What, are you a lesbian or something?
Me:... Uh, yeah. I actually am a lesbian.
Friend: What? Are you serious?
*nods*
Friend: Are you actually serious?
*nods*
Friend: REALLY?!
Me: Don't make this any harder!!
Friend: WHY am I turning all my friends homosexual!?

I love this girl. XD

 

I told one one my good friends (who is a lesbian) that I was trans and she literally jumped up and down screaming, "REALLY? OH MY GOD!" over and over again. She then continued to ask me hundreds of questions O-o some I didn't even know the answer to.

 

I was getting a ride home with one of my gay friends and although I'm pretty open about my sexuality I was pretty sure he didn't know yet so when he was getting in the car this happened.

Him: Hello, how are you today?
Me: Gay.
Him (a bit surprised): Really?
Me: *nods*
Him: Oh. I did not know that. Congratulations.

 

From my boss/friend. I've known her since 2008 and she invited me to her house in the country at the beginning of this year. I had decided after my surgery in December I'd start coming out to people once I returned to work. So she's been trying to get me to go out on a date ever since she's known me, and I've given her a ZILLION excuses. The last day in her home, I opened up to her about stuff, childhood sexual abuse, etc., and she suddenly said, "let's go take a drive" (her husband had come along during the trip). So She asked me, "what's the REAL reason you don't date?" I just blurted it out. At the time I told her, "I like girls more than I do boys," not being able to say the word "lesbian," in relation to myself. So she was like, "OMG, THAT'S SO GREAT!!!!!!" I know tons of pretty girls!! This is SO EXCITING!!!!" I burst into tears. I later told her I had expected her to leave me on the side of the road and she just hugged me and said, "you are beautiful and I love you."

When I came out to my sister and her boss (who's also my friend) my sister was like, "dude, I've always known."

Her boss, "I have a woman for you!!!!"

My other sister, "Hey, you love who you love, and I love you no matter what."

My mentor/friend--she started to cry and was like, OMG....NOW YOU CAN DATE PRETTY GIRLS!!!! THIS IS SO GREAT!! Then she burst into tears.

My best friend, "OMG THIS IS SO GREAT!!! I WAS AFRAID YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE SEX!" WHAT'S YOUR TYPE??????

 

LMAO. When I First Told My Bestfriend It Was Hilarious.
Hope: Were You Staring At Her Ass?
Emma: Ah Yep
Hope:Omg I Knew Your A Lesbian
Emma: I Guess So.. Feels Nice
Hope: Omfg Gonna Get You A Girlfriend

 

Dads first words when I said was trans xD

dad: Wow, we're a modern family, but not THAT modern.

 

So far, the weirdest reaction I've gotten is my friend who has been doing research...we had some fun looking up what a puberty blocker was and figuring out how much it costs to transition. XD

 

I was in a ferry cabin on my way to France with 3 straight friends. They were all half naked. And then this conversation ensued.
Me: Guys, I'm gay
Friend #1: Well this is a tad awkward
Friend #2: Good timing...
Friend #3: I bloody knew it!

 

"So the 12 year olds that called you a gay nerd on CoD were right?"

 

After telling my two best friends growing up

Me: So you're okay with this?
Him: Yep. We've actually talked about it quite a bit.
Me: ... Wait, you did what?
Her: Oh, yeah. We were starting to wonder if you'd ever figure it out.

 

Before I came out to her, I said to her "I have something I've been wanting to tell you for a while". After I said it, I saw her get SO relieved and she said "Oh my god I thought you were going to ask me out"

 

I sent an elaborate essay to my mother explaining that I am bi. She simply said "You know my rules, don't date republicans, and don't date creationists.

 

Whoops. Wish I saw this thread before I posted my own.

For those who haven't seen it, I came out as trans and my mom thought I grew a dick.

 

This was after I told my grandma that I had a bf and we'd just started dating:

"Don't rush into things. There's lots of crazy people out there. I once had a hairdresser throw his hairbrush at me because he wasn't getting laid enough."

WTF Grandma?

 

You have an awesome mom:icon_bigg

 

haha! i played a prank on my best friend. i thought 'hey what would make this whole thing just a bit more interesting?'

me: dude i'm gay.
bf: dude that's cool and you know this doesn't affect us! you know me!
me: there's more. the reason i'm telling you is because i'm madly in love with you...
bf: ugh...what? (makes a hilarious face )
me after several minutes of awkward silence: i'm just messing with you bro!
bf: ....you're an ass you know that?

and another best friend of mine also had a funny reaction

bf: you're gay?! hold on hold on...wait. do you find me attractive? on a scale from 1 to 10 how would you rate me? you know what screw that, rate all of the guys on the team (we both were in a paddling team)!

ugh...straight guys can be really full of themselves sometimes! haha!

 

LMAO I love this thread

 

I said "I hope your fine with having a gay brother because that's just who I am".

An then plot twist she says "as long as your fine with having a lesbian sister

 

My best friend (whose transgender) likes to make a lot of jokes about all of the queers in the class, himself included. Some of the best ones have been:

S: *while working on some math* I can't think straight!
Him: We all know that, what about the question?

*while playing disc golf with him and this guy who is super-straight, they both throw into the bushes and mine lands in the centre of the fairway*
"Well, who would have thought that she was the only straight one out of us!"

Or: Random friend: I can't walk straight!"
Me: I can't do anything straight!

Also, one time me and this other girl in my class (we're both queer) were joking around. (Just some background, we both went to a camp last year for LGBT+ youth, called CampOUT)
The first time I'm up to kick in D-Ball, and everyone is hollering "Kick it straight!" So I yell back "Why do you expect me to do anything straight?" She just burst out laughing.

That evening I was searching through my bag looking for something. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I was getting really flustered, so I muttered "I can't think straight!" My friend came up to me, all serious faced, laid a hand on my arm, and told me. "I know you have had a problem being straight. And I just wanted to tell you - you are not alone!" We both started hugging each other and laughing, and my teacher, who was sitting nearby, looked up in mock-disgust and yelled "Go CampOUT, you two!"
