coming-out comingofage gay lgbt

Some days go right
Some days go wrong
Some days don't go at all.

Simon is sixteen and on the edge of everything changing, his world changing from adolescent to adult, to him facing the world and coming out to it, but not just yet.

Now, his boyfriend is late and he's sat on a cold, concrete bench waiting, waiting, waiting...

Coming out is a big and important thing for so many LGBT people and yet it doesn't come with a rule book or a road map.

Over eighteen different days, during four weeks in spring, this story follows Simon as he navigates the difficult journey of his coming out, made no easier by his parents' complicated lives. Like all journeys, this one will change him but in ways he doesn't imagine, taking him places he didn't expect to go, but this is a journey without Google Maps.All Rights Reserved

Brutal by sup3r_n0va_

"What did I want? I wanted to be someone else. Or I wanted to live in a world where I didn't have to want to be someone else." *** Connor Hill lives a life of routine: He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, pretends to be straight, rinse and repeat. He lives a life of anonymity, hiding the fact that he's gay from everyone he knows. But everything changes when he encounters the brooding, enigmatic soccer player, Josh Brooks. As the boys keep finding themselves crossing paths, it becomes more and more difficult to stay apart. Connor begins to question if his philosophy of remaining anonymous is just as painful as coming out and allowing the world to see him as someone they might reject. Secrets will be spilled. Will the truth strengthen the boys' bond? Or will their worlds be shattered? [2024 WATTYS SHORTLIST]

Bi the Way by RLThorton

(Complete) (Bi the Book 1) Rodney was excited to start high school, he had a plan. He was going to ask his best friend to be his girlfriend, but then everything changed. Now he is moving from the big city to the small town of Strathroy, and new friends, new adventures, and self-discovery await him in this quiet town. But fate has other plans as Ally also ends up moving to town, are they truly meant to be together? Join Rodney on this journey, the ups and the downs and the awkward teen moments that come from trying to figure out who you are. This story is based on a true story, as such there are a few chapters that involve underage drinking. I do not condone drinking underage but it did happened and so it is included.

JUST SAY SOMETHING by pagechanger22

Caleb Matthews had a normal life until one mistake with a Facebook post changed it all. He was kicked out of his house, but he had his friends to help him up. In his journey through self-discovery, he will meet new faces, both good and bad. Like any teenager, the world beat him down. The question is will he be able to stand up again? Will he get stronger to face his demons? NOTE: The start of each chapter is supposed to be a Facebook post. It just doesn't look like it when I publish it. Sorry!

Finding Myself In The Real World by madforonedirection

"I'm gay." Disclaimer: I wrote this short story when I was immature and a lot younger than I am now. I don't endorse or suggest you read it, unless you want a cringe-worthy and badly written quick read. I'm just posting it, because I'm bored. Don't say I didn't warn you.

A Breath of Fresh Air by HeyImZackC

For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When his family decides to embark on a weekend vacation to Florida for his birthday, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day road trip will change their lives forever. CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times. I tried my best to include as many triggers I could think of, but if you notice anything else in the story that may potentially be one please feel free to let me know and I will add it as a warning. Thank you :) As for genre, this story contains a little bit of everything. I'd say it's an LGBT Coming-of-Age Romantic Comedy Drama. I know that's a lot, lol. This is my first ever attempt at writing a fully-fledged fictional story, so please go easy on me :) I hope you enjoy! This story has a soundtrack! Here's a link to a playlist on Spotify featuring all of the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GRDVy6mLydfwzc8BcguOE
