This book was made because of #UnlimitedPride. It was not planned, that I write more than one chapter.
Support the history of Pride with a story about a moment- personal or political- that changed your life as an LGBTQ+ person, OR (for those of you who do not directly identify with the LGBTQ+ community) demonstrate how you are a friend or an ally to the community. Celebrate with chapters that define who you are, and how far you've come.
ANYONE can participate, all you have to do is:
-Post your story on Wattpad page AND TAG IT #UnlimitedPride
-Post your story by June 30th.
I don't know, how to begin this book. At first: My english is not the best, but i thought, that I should write that Story/Coming Out in english, because the most people speak english. My native language is german and I don't write Story's very often, but I hope, that you can enjoy that.
I was 11, when I read a book, where the main character has two dads.
With 12 years, I was on YouTube for my first time. I liked a group of four Youtuber's and- I don't know how, but I found Fanfictions about them. At first, I read "straight" Story's, but, after a couple, of times, I read gay ones. I never thought about not being straight. (actually funny, 'cause i had/have a lesbian friend in school)
On YouTube, I've got on LGBTQ+ channels and one day I thought: Maybe you are not straight. That was this one moment. I informed me about this topic and searched for identification. I found more and more persons in the internet, which feel the same feeling like me.
I got 13 and nothing changed. Even not my way of mentally coming out. Anytime I "fell" about the word 'bisexuell'. It fits perfectly in my situation, but there were doubts. In the holidays i were for 6 weeks at the village, where my grandma lives and thought about everything. A half year later, after round about two years I was 'ok' with being bi and I thought, that I can't hide that longer. I came out with WhatsApp, 10:30 p.m. at my friend. She was ok (obviously, because she is lesbian), so I came out at my best friend. She said, that she's also ok with that, but after two months, our friendship burst. I remember very good. I was sitting on the couch and she wrote a message to me, that our friendship doesn't work and i wouldn't do anything for it. I was sad, but I knew, that I can't change that.
In that years, my stepfather often spoke about 'If you have a boyfriend' and every time, my mum said '...or a girlfriend'. I thought that she accept's me. I came out in our kitchen at the evening. I was really nervous and spoke so fast, that she didn't understood me. I said again "I'm bisexuell", and after that there was a really awkward silence. After experienced hours- which were only round about ten seconds- my mum said, that I would read too many book, it's a trend and I can't be serious without having kissed a girl or I'm too young for knowing that for sure. She said, that I shouldn't tell that anyone. In this moment, i felt, that I could cry. I was so sad, because I thought, that my mum would accept me. The doubts came back and never got away.
I'm on that point, that I can say, that I'm bi and happy. I have good friends and every time, I think it's wrong to be gay or I have to decide for one gender, I say to myself, that it is okay, and I don't have to decide.
