Coming Out 101

20

When I was 11 years old I thought to myself 'hm, I wonder what it will be like to get a girlfriend'. Then I thought to myself, vaginas look disgusting as fuck (sorry women!) and had my first ever though about being gay. Fast forward to me being twelve. I was confused and tried coming out to my mom as bi. She was quite supportive. But I knew in the back of my head that I wasn't bi. I was gay. Later that night I said it was a social experiment and then she told me not to joke about stuff like that. Phew! Fast forward a few months and I'm riding home on the bus sitting next to my friend. I say "I'm gay by the way", and waited for a response. He didn't really care. Fast forward another few months and I get called into the office. I sit down in front of the principal and he tells me he got a call from a parent saying that their child had told them that I said I was gay. Now being in the closet this was really fucking embarrassing. I played it off but he went on and on about the dangers of being gay and all this stupid shit and then I stood up and said "if I told my friend I had a girlfriend and that I had kissed her and stuff and they told their parent they wouldn't have cared, but since it's about me being gay she called the freaking school (I'm 12 at the time and talking to the principal so I had to go with freaking xD) complaining about it. I'm not gay. Now leave me alone". I then had to have an awkward conversation with my dad where I lied about being not gay (I'm still in the closet). I found out that the friend I told was the one who had told his mom. As of now I'm 13 and have told one other supportive friend. GAY POWER!
