    I told a friend of mine. For years, I'd led him to believe that I was straight (even though he was gay and totally wouldn't mind my being gay), and I just recently told him maybe a month or two ago. He lives in Portugal anyway, so it's not like he can tell anyone over here across the pond, haha. Don't know why I was so scared to tell him...

    Weird this is exactly my situation too! Also she kind of went crazy... and is possibly gay herself. Haha

    Wait I lied. It was the girl I was into at the time. How could something like that not come up once you started flirting and realizing you may actually like it?

    You should add a "current love interest" option :slight_smile:

    My best friend. He had came out to me as a trans man a week earlier, so I guessed he would be the best person to tell first and I came out to him :slight_smile:

    Got asked by a workmate. And then another. And another. Then a gay friend asked me (but he is underage so I avoid being too close). Hahaha after that the first person I told on my own initiative was a girl who I've been best friends with since we were 5/7. Oddly I used to have a huge crush on her at 15-16.

    One of the best friends I've had in my life, who also happened to be a transexual, though I did not know about it at the time. I really, really miss her. I remember that, on that day, I was so scared I did not even say it face to face. Technology helped me, it was just a text lol

    One of my best friends at school. I wasn't sure I was gay at the time, but I had my first crush on a guy and needed to tell someone. She was more than happy to listen to me.:icon_bigg

    I told my best friend first, we ended up dating 2 yrs later...Too bad it ended with her thanking me, saying that thanks to me she now knew she wasn't bisexual like she thought she was...So happy I told her, to bad she really isn't bisexual....:frowning2:
     
  10. Wow. So was she straight?

    A friend who had secretly come out as bisexual to me, so I thought it only fair to tell her I was too. After that was so successful, I was out to my whole school within a month. Now I just have family to tell but I don't really think its their business so not sure if I ever will.

    Unfortunately....She was super confused, she misinterpreted a good friendship as a crush, turns out she doesn't like me in that way...Now we barely talk, she avoids me now...

    Wow, the results are pretty... unanimous.

    I told my closest friend, who I knew would be totally cool with it, before I tried telling anyone else.

    The first person I talked about liking girls is one of my best friend, who started talking about how he thinks he's bi. So I decided to tell him.
    The first person I actually came out to as gay is another best friend of mine. She's amazing.

    My best friend on the net. The one person I'd really ever truly been myself with. It wasn't an easy choice either, but I had to. They are the person who I lean on for support the most now. ^^
