    I wouldn't say this was really funny, but entertaining for my workplace atleast.

    A work colleague tried boasting to me about his new girlfriend this week, shes very pretty and I think thats the only reason he was chasing her. There were others around who all knew about me anyway. I loved his reaction, it was better seen then told though. It felt like I had taken a chainsaw to his 'high horse'. Everyone went in their own directions gossiping about it after. The guy has a general attitude problem hence the reaction from the others.

    Him: Me and K have got it together this week.
    Me: Yeah I know, seen you two holding hands on the way in to work.
    Him: Everyone has wanted her for ages.
    Me: Not me, I'm going out on a date with someone on monday.
    Him: You are, I can see it. I bet you're jealous I got K and you can't have her.
    Me: Sure I'm jealous, just as much as you are about the guy I'm going out with on monday.
    Him: :jawdrop:
    Others: :eusa_clap:lol:
    Me: Is there anything else I should be aware of that I may be jealous of you for?
    Him: You're gay?
    Me: Yes, but that doesn't answer what I said.
    Him: *long pause*
    Me: I didn't see you deny any jealousy towards me either. *walks off grinning*

    Loved it XD
    Once a friend asked me if the person I was dateing at the time was a girl, when I didn't deny it she responded "I thought so, you can't be straight and not have the hots for Puck (from Glee)"
    Another time I actually came out to all my friends at school at the same time. Apparently I didn't made my self clear enough because minutes later when we were walking down the street to get some ice cream one of my friends told me she could present me a friend of hers how is also a lesbian, and one of my friends turned to me with a really surprised face and asked "wtf? you like girls? when did you com out?!" We all started laughing uncontrolably XD

    There's a joke in my circle of friends that I've always been pretty slow on the uptake. So it really should've come as no surprise to me that, as I started discussing the issue with my friends, all of their responses were "We all pretty much knew that already, sweetie. You've always liked girls a lot more than guys, and you talk more about attractive women than attractive men." My best gay friend told me he had always known, and was just waiting for me to come out.

    The best response, however, was my den mother from when I was going to school in southern Ohio. Almost ten years older than me and my friends, she has always taken care of us. The conversation, however, has pretty much been immortalized.

    me: So... I think I'm pretty sure of this now. I don't like guys. Not romantically, or sexually. Or... well, you know what I mean.
    her: You think you're a lesbian?
    me: ...yeah. That hits the nail pretty much right on the head, really.
    her: *after a long pause* Honey, we know already. Now, get out of the closet; you're mussing the coats.

    I about died laughing. Any apprehension I had about discussing this with my friends disappeared with those words.

    A few responses:
    Me: I'm lesbian.
    Friend: So?


    Me: I'm gay
    Friend: Well, duh


    Me: I'm gay
    Brother: Nice :slight_smile:. WOW, wait. You don't like G (his gf), do you?


    Me: I'm gay
    Other brother: Let's go check out girls.


    Me: I'm lesbian
    Friend: About time you came from behind those dresses (it's funnier in Dutch)
    Me: I hate dresses, and you know that.
    Friend: Yeah, that's why you wanted to come out of the closet.


    Me: I'm gay
    Friend (male): Damn, I just wanted to ask you out.


    And also a few: 'Yeah, I know' 'I could've told you that' 'I figured' 'Doesn't make you special either' 'Explains a lot' and some more, from guys 'hot' 'Let's check out girls' 'You don't like [gf], do you?' And that kinda shit

    Her: Yes?
    Me: I'm gay.
    Her: ...Well of course you are.
    Me: Wait, what?!
    Her: Gay means you like guys. So we're both gay.
    Me: ...No, B. No. Gay means you like people of the same sex as you.
    Her: Then what does lesbian mean?
    Me: The same thing, only lesbian is only for girls.
    Her: Why do they get a word to themselves?
    Me: Because we're special.
    Her: ...Oh. I guess I'm not special then. But now I get to show you off because I have a 'special friend'! So did you do last night's homework?
    Me: I wouldn't exactly call me your 'special friend'... And yes, I did.

    When I came out my older brother, sister and mother they always said kinda figured. I do not have the gay stereotype because it is hidden by the computer nerd one. so that kinda freaked me out but was funny just the same.

    One person from my GSA (a straight girl)
    We were discussing being out of the closet or something along those lines.
    I whispered to her, "Yeah I'm not out of the closet at all,"
    Her: "Wait are you a lesbian?"
    Me: "Yeah"
    Her: "Wow. Does A know?" (she is another lesbian in our GSA)
    Me: "Heh no, I'm still very much in the closet."
    Her: "Ohh I love secrets. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but you should tell her."
    Me: "I will eventually."
    Her: "Sorry, but you just don't 'seem' like a lesbian you know."
    Me: I just laughed.

    Last night I came out to an ex (not really an ex... we had a thing for a week but I was at college and he was home so we didn't see each other... but anyways). This was our conversation:

    Me: (paraphrasing my really long coming out speech) I'm semi-bi.

    Him: That's hot. Seriously. Not to take the topic lightly...

    Me: Ahahaha. That's not the answer I was expecting but I'll take it.

    Him: That's the answer you're going to get from any straight guy. True facts.

    Sadly, I think it really is true. :lol:

    so i was talking to a friend of mine (M), who knows i'm bi. actually we were talking about the girl i like, and a different girl (Y) comes up and says "hey guys, whatcha talking about?" Y is not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. she's really girly and peppy...so i said "nothing really" and she kind of wandered off a little bit. I continued the convo with M in a way that no one would understand if they were listening in, and Y comes back randomly and asks me: "are you gay?"
    M bursts into laughter, and for the first time in my entire coming out process, i just turned to Y and flat out said "i'm bi", no hesitations or added details (whoo!). Y giggles, claims she knew it, saying "everybody thinks i'm really dumb but i just act like that for comic effect." this statement confused me slightly, and a minute passed before Y goes, "So who's the girl you like?"

    lol

    I was going to make my first signed post on EC asking for help/advice, but the perfect oppourtunity to come out to my brother with no chance of anyone else knowing came up, so I did. Here is what happened:
    Me: C, what would you think if I was bisexual?
    C: Why should I care? It's not like you will be going out with me!
    :newcolor:Why am I ridiculously so happy about coming out? Even though I was careful to say my bisexuality wasn't certain yet

    When I was 17 and had just broken up with my first girlfriend, and was upset and needed someone to talk to. My friend invited me to come and stay at her house for the night. I was still deep in the closet at the time.

    We were drinking hot chocolate when I told her.

    Me: So yeah, I got dumped.
    Her: Really?! I didn't know you were in a relationship! Who was it?
    Me: *concentrating on stirring my hot chocolate* ... Anna.
    Her: O__O ... Cool! So which one was the girl in your relationship?

    I thought that was quite funny. And although it was a such a stupid question, it was fair for her to ask that since she had spent all her life looking at things from a very heterosexual perspective. After I explained her how things really work she started asking all of her other friends on msn whether they were gay too. Unfortunately none of them came out of the closet that night.

    that's awesome, well done! :grin:

    ----------

    Not my story, but this happened to my friend.

    She told me and another girl that she was gay, and the other girl responded "I knew that bra we found in your bed wasn't yours!" They then had a little arguement over who's bra it was XD It was pretty amusing :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
