We are Human: Coming Out Colorful

Nervous

This is my coming out story. I never really knew I was attracted to girls until the end of 8th grade when the feelings just came. I didn't really know what to do with it because yeah, I was still boy crazy .. but there was something else when I saw a girl that just kinda sparked. I had lots of bisexual friends but I wasn't worried about coming out to them or my other friends.. I was more concerned about coming out to my best friend. I knew she wouldn't think any different of me but anyone who's ever come out knows how it can still be nerve racking to come out to anyone. Most of my other friends knew and had accepted it, told me how happy there were for me, and moved on. I ended up telling my best friend when we were at Disneyland and she ended up not thinking any different. I was so relieved. I've yet to date a girl, but I'm excited to see what the future holds for me! Now, in high school, it's like starting all over again. I have to learn to adjust and figure out my new friends so they can know too. I'm proud to be bisexual and be apart of the LBGT community!
