Coming Out - Blog Posts

About to come out as a boy to my dad

Wish me luck

So uh

Here, have a lil goofy animation! Hmm, what could this be leading to? This was made in 2021 iirc on flipnote studio 3D :D!

Kaede with a s/o coming out as lesbian

Word count: 309

Author’s note: Sorry for making you guys wait so long, I was out of town for the past few days. I’m back now though, so I’ll be able to catch up and keep working. I also wasn’t sure how to just focus on her reaction without it being a single sentence, so  I hope my take is okay.  Please enjoy! 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At first when you told Kaede you had something important you wanted to tell her, she was really nervous

I mean you guys, at this point, were just best friends so obviously you two told each other everything

When you actually told her you were a lesbian, she couldn’t contain her excitement, for two reasons:

The first being that she was proud that you know who you are and that you can trust her enough to tell her too 

And secondly… She felt like maybe she wanted to be more than best friends with you, but didn’t think she had the chance before

She would wrap you in a huge hug 

“S/o that’s awesome, thank you so much for telling me”

You were super glad she accepted you

She already knew what that meant, so she didn’t really have any questions for you about it

“Hey s/o? Um, since we’re on the topic of telling each other things, I sorta.. Think I like you. But if you don’t feel the same, that’s okay, I’m still proud of you telling me I just thought-” 

You cut her off by hugging her tightly again, and admitting your own feelings

Now when you guys walk down the halls together, she holds your hand tightly; and even goes with you for moral support when you come out to others (if you’re comfortable with her being there, but of course you are)

She’d offer to buy you a lesbian pride flag for your room, and tons of little things in lesbian colors

Like bracelets, stuffed animals, shirts, and tons of other things too

Oh, and she definitely proudly tells anyone, who wants to know, that you’re her girlfriend

Overall, she’d treat you the same as before because you’re still her best friend, but now also her girlfriend, and she couldn’t be happier

My parents try to be supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community but they're not the greatest with pronouns... And by that I mean they try a little to hard to use the pronoun they in a sentence like "oh did THEY say that?" and idk if it'll be weird...

Okay but on some serious shit for those in the lgbtqia+ community or an ally of the community that are out here pushing people out of the closet because it's your belief that everyone should be out and proud, while yes I understand people should be proud to be themselves and love who they are with no restraints it also is not up to you. If someone is not comfortable or safe to come out you should comfort them and stay by them till they are strong enough to let that side out, not push them into a situation were they can fall into a depressive state or even receive physical, emotional, or mental harm. By forcing someone out of the closet you could be putting them in harms way so please if you have a friend or family member that is lgbtqia+ please wait for them to come out at their own time and reassure them you'll be here for every step of the way.

🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

If/when this posts reaches 5555 notes, I’ll come out as trans to my parents.

No rules. Spam however much you want (But please have some mercy, like at least let this post take a few months 🙏).

Words don’t even. 🏳️‍🌈 I am emotionally drained but oh my god. I have never been more rapid if someone ever. Just. Wow. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Ppl should stop putting so much pressure on gay ppl to "come out" and more pressure on straight ppl to stop assuming everyone's sexuality is fucking straight

You know what. We need a bisexual guy coming out story but where he had thought he was gay before he fell in love with a girl. Like we don't get these kind of stories okay

When Pran said "You've got to stop doing this to me. We are not a thing" on the rooftop, I found the English translation a little confusing. The first sentence makes it sound like Pran is asking Pat to stop being clearly romantic with him because it's hurting him, but the second sentence makes it sound like he's telling Pat to stop being clearly romantic because it's not appropriate to the kind of relationship they have, without any romantic feelings on Pran's part. Can you shed any light on what exactly Pran was trying to communicate?

Oh certainly.

This was one of my favorite parts because they used super subtle language rather than the usual Thai words for couple (which I can't spell but can now recognize) or faen.

The first bit is Pran saying basically:

"I've had enough. Stop jerking me around, emotionally. You've been flirting on and off with me for years and it's not fair. Because i know what's going on and how I feel about you. And I kind of always have since the pond incident."

The second bit is:

"It's not fair of you, Pat, to do these kind of things to me (possession, jealousy, casual affection, flirting) without you, Pat, having actual romantic feels for me. (And acknowledging them.)"

Pran thinks Pat is being casual with him. But Pran is not a casual person. This is about sincerity. 

I think Pran also thinks that Pat hasn't acknowledged his own feelings to himself yet. Remember, they have known each other a very long time. And Pran is a lot more self aware than Pat is (and he also knows that). I think he realizes that Pat is a little in love with him but Pran believes that Pat will never come to place where he can admit that to HIMSELF.

Thus the kiss is a real shocker to Pran, because he didn't think it would ever happen. And it's not that he thought Pat didn't have the guts, or wasn't action orientated, it's just that he didn't think Pat would ever have the level of self awareness required.

Pat grew up in the course of one episode, if I were Pran, I'd be surprised too.

----

As an IRL example, it's not quite the same thing but...

You ever have that friend who is clearly queer but just isn't yet?

So they aren't pretending, it's not even self delusion, because they just don't realize it. Sometimes it's family background, but sometimes it's just that they are too emotionally young. They haven't figured themselves out. How can they when they haven't had the right life experiences yet? They aren't to be blamed or pushed because of this. It's a void not a wound.

As friends (or sometimes family members) I think we often see queerness in the people we love before they see it in themselves. (Especially if we are a little older and already out.)

Because we, personally, aren't dealing with the guilt, shame, fear, loss, and rebuilding of identity that society's expectations place on our friend's way of thinking about themself. (Even if we've been through it, it's different for everyone, and we can easily forget because we want to.)

Even if the friendship group or family is accepting, it can be super hard. Because then there is a whole new set of expectations to come up against.

When analyzing Color Rush, I mentioned that no one really talks about how first love as a queer person is also a grieving process. (And anger: why must we grieve as we experience passion for the first time when the hets don't have to?)

Because as we open the closet door and walk into a queer identity we mourn the dead straight identity we left behind.

----

Which is a long way of saying, what we see on this rooftop with Pat & Pran is first love and new passion, but it is also grief.

URGENT

I will give it to my mother and see her reaction

It really doesn't need to be a big deal!

Anyone else get that feeling where they want to come out to people but simply can't be bothered to deal with all the surprise and what a big deal it will be made into?

happy national coming out day to everyone who plans on coming out today

happy national coming out day to everyone who’s been out for a while

happy national coming out day to everyone who can’t come out

happy national coming out day to everyone who could come out but isn’t ready

you’re all valid and i love you

First | Previous | Next

Don’t feel forced to come out, regardless of the day.

Leo coming out-

Leo to the seven+nico, reyna, will, Calypso and Thalia: everyone, I want to tell you something.

Jason: what is it Leo?

Leo: for the last couple of weeks I was thinking and trying to figure something out an-

Piper: what was it?

Leo: my sexuality, it was on my mind for the last couple weeks and I finally figured it down and I wanted to tell you.

Calypso & Hazel: what is a sexuality?

Annabeth: ho right, you don't know. A sexuality is what you are attracted to or when or how or who to people.

Calypso & Hazel: thanks for the explanation.

Percy: so Leo, what is your sexuality?

Leo: everyone, I am aromantic asexual.

Calypso & Hazel: what does it mean?

Leo: aromantic means you experience little to no romantic attraction, and asexual means you experience little to no sexual attraction. Its a spectrum, in my case I don't feel any romantic or sexual attraction to people.

Hazel: oh, thanks for the explanation.

Reyna: but what about all the times that you flirted with people?

Leo: oh that time I just confused other kinds of attraction as romantic one.

Reyna: oh, alright.

Jason: and don't worry Leo, we except you just the way you are.

Leo: thank you Jason.

Ooc

yo, fellow trans people, I’ve got a question-

Is this alr to give to my mom so i can come out??? Should I change it up or-

She is supportive but she also thinks im also sorta young :/

For those who can’t read my messy handwriting, it says:

Hey mom, I need to tell you something.

I’m transgender.

I use he/they.

My new name is Royce.

I’ve been doing quite a bit of thinking, and I’m pretty sure I’m male-aligning (non-binary, enby, demiboy, etc.)

Please don’t tell me I’m too young. I wouldn’t know if I was too young.

OK, so, I was just reading in my room with my music blasting into my ears through my headphones so I can't hear my family, and then 'This is what you came for' by Calvin Harris and Rihanna starts playing. And do you know what my first thought was?

'This feels very Robin-coming-out-y'.

Then that FUCKING scene in season 3 when Robin comes out to Steve in the Starcourt bathroom after they got kidnapped and drugged by the Russians kept playing OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD...............

And that concludes my rant about why someone needs to make this an edit on YouTube or something.

I just had one of the most positive "coming out" therian experiences Ive ever had the other day.

I was hanging out with a couple friends I hadn't seen in a while (technically it'd been years, but we've all kept in good contact online so it felt like much less), and one of them asked me about therianthropy because they had seen me post about it once or twice on my main. So I tried to be less awkward about it than usual and just told them straight up "It means I identify as an animal".

And there were no weird looks, no blank stares or awkward silence. They just kinda laughed and were like "Oh yeah that makes perfect sense for you :)"

We talked about it a little bit off and on during the rest of the hang out, I told them about my phantom shifts and mental shifts, about how I met my irl therian friends, about how I found the community. They asked me genuine questions, and while talking about alterhumanity irl is still a rather uncomfortable experience given how infrequently I do it, I never once felt judged.

And the thing is that neither of these friends are even part of adjacent/intersecting communities. Neither are furries, neither are cosplayers or really even into fandom at all. By all accounts they're both very "normie", but they accepted me with open arms.

After really only having coming out experiences where the other person just responds with "okay 🙂" and then never acknowledges it again, it felt soooo good to just have a normal open conversation about it, just like I would with any other aspect of my identity.

Sometimes humans are really cool :)

Coming out

So I found out I liked girls in high school and, when I did, I told my parents.

 Their response was, “Oh, ok, that’s cool. Just don’t make any concrete decisions yet, alright? Cus’ you never know when you might want to give something new a try.”

Also, “Don’t be an angry lesbian, ok? Cus’ we know a few of those and they’re really annoying to deal with.”

Right. So keep an open mind and don’t be pissed off about life. I can deal with that.

He is risen, gang! Whoo! Let’s go!

So since it’s Easter, I thought it would be nice to share about what God did for me.

I was suicidal due to a porn addiction. God removed BOTH my suicidal tendencies and my lustful desires in one night on November 3rd, 2022. Now I help others follow Matthew 5:28

all my self harm scars are gone. Just vanished.

I was bisexual-ish, and God removed that on November 3rd, 2022, as well.

yeah. Just stuff God did for me. If He’ll do that for me, how much more will He do for you?

Happy Easter!

New comic! This is a collaboration with the wonderful @sketchbook-stars!

Our story is on the left, and theirs is on the right.

Some notable people on my side of the comic include:

@milady-mothman - the best friend in the first panel!

@gagtodeath - the cousin in the third panel!

@andrewjacksondestroyer - our very close friend from the fourth panel!

We’ve been trying to publish more of these, but we keep wanting to start new comics instead of finishing old ones (yes, we have ADHD, lol).

Uhhh so anyway, hope you enjoy!

[Image ID: Note: There are two stories told simultaneously in this comic. The story on the left will be described first, and then the story on the right.

Begin ID: Panel 1: The background is sea foam green. There is some text near the top that reads, “Coming out to our best friend as a system was a huge deal for us. They’re super supportive and we love them very much (platonically). Underneath that, there is a gray text message bubble coming from the left that reads, “who am I speaking to?” Beneath that, there is a blue text message bubble that reads, “Ao and Ruby, thanks for asking.”

Panel 2: The background is sea foam green. There is one block of text near the top that reads, “We came out to another friend using memes and a comic we made on Super Storyboarder.” Beneath that, there is another block of text that reads, “She thought the memes were funny and seemed to really appreciate them.”

Panel 3: The background is sea foam green. There is a block of text at the top of the page that reads, “Coming out to our cousin was a pretty big deal. We came out to her after the concert of an artist we both love. We had brought up DID before, but we would always talk about our ‘friends,’ who were a system (hint: it was us). She’s always been super understanding and even follows us on Simply Plural now.” Beneath that is a drawing of two people on a dock across from some land with trees and houses. The water around the dock is reflecting an orange color, like the sunset. The person on the right has short black hair, peach skin, and is wearing a white shirt with long sleeves and white pants. There is a white box next to them that says, “Coltun (they/them), one of two alters who has a super deep voice while fronting (the only one of the two that we knew about at the time). They are saying, “Did you hear the change in my voice before?” The person on the left has long red hair, peach skin, a black shirt with long sleeves, and blue pants. She is saying, “Yeah, I was wondering if that was you.”

Panel 4: The background is sea foam green. There are two blocks of text at the top. The first one says, “One of our biggest system coming outs was the first time we ever told anyone. Ao knew of 8 alters at the time (including eirself), but thought ey was imagining them (spoiler alert: ey wasn’t). The block of text beneath it says, “We had heard of DID before, but knew almost nothing about it.” Beneath that, there are two people sitting on a gray ledge with their feet on a sidewalk. The one on the right has long brown hair, peach skin, a neutral facial expression, light brown eyes, thick black square glasses, a red flannel jacket with long sleeves, blue pants, and red shoes. There is some text next to him that says, “Corey (he/him), co-host of our friend’s system at the time.” He is saying, “I’m a system, which means I am many people in one body.” The person on the left, Ao, has peach skin, reddish-brown hair, a shocked facial expression, blue eyes, a gray hoodie with a darker gray pocket and hood, black shorts and black shoes. Ey is saying, “That sounds like what I’ve been experiencing!”

Begin second story ID:

First panel: The background is a warm shade of pink. There is a block of text near the middle that says, “we never planned to come out to any of our friends initially, being afraid of being judged or misunderstood. yet it turned out to not be so bad.” Beneath that, there is a smiling person who is the same color as the background with shoulder-length messy hair.

Second panel: The background is a warm shade of pink. At the top of the panel, there is some text that says, “Yet after a while, one of our hosts was tired of hiding it all, and told some of our friends.” A block of text below that on the right side of the panel reads, “They were extremely accepting.” There are two people in the panel. Both are the same color as the background. The first has completely black eyes, shoulder-length somewhat messy hair, two antlers, a smile, a bit of sweat on their face, a pointy tail, a turtleneck sweater under an open jacket with cuffed sleeves, and pants. “Lucid” is written above their head. There is a tiny speech bubble next to them with an ampersand in it. The person on the right has short hair with bangs that cover their eyes, a slightly open mouth, lines next to their face indicating emotion, and a hoodie with long drawstrings. Next to them is a small speech bubble with a check mark and an exclamation point.

Panel 3: The background is a warm shade of pink. At the top of the panel, there is a block of text that says, “and on the inverse, we helped our partner realize that they were also a system.” Beneath that, there is more text that says, “it warmed our hearts to know that they trusted us with this concept and we helped them come to terms and realize it.” There are two people below that. Both are the same color as the background. The one on the left is looking at the one on the right. They are winking. They have shoulder-length hair, a smile, a braided band in their hair, and two pairs of wings- one on their head and one on their back. The word above their head is Civ. There is some text above their head that says, “y’know, how did you NOT realize??” The person on the right is looking at the person on the left. Their mouth is open. They have chin-length hair, a hoodie, horns, and a pointy tail. The word above their head is Colix. There is some text above them that says, “..IM A LITTLE STUPID-“

Panel 4: The background is a warm shade of pink. The text at the top says, “We don’t regret being open about our system one bit.” The text beneath it says, “It might have caused us some pain, but we have made so many more good memories since that day.” Beneath that, there are two people holding hands. They are sitting on green grass and the background behind them (underneath the text) is crimson. The person on the left has peach skin, shoulder-length dark crimson hair, black eyes, a smile with a fang in it, a red shirt with long sleeves and a white collar and cuff, crimson pants, a dark crimson bat wing on the left side, black shoes, and a red rose on the right side of their hair. There are three small speech bubbles on the left side of them. The top one has a red heart, the middle one has an orange flower, and the bottom one has a yellow star. The person on the right is looking at them. They have thin black square glasses, light blue-green skin, light blue-green hair that sticks out more and is a little longer than the hair of the other person, a smile, a darker blue-green shirt with a frill on the front under a darker blue-green jacket buttoned at the bottom with a collar, darker blue green pants, and a furry tail the same color as their skin. On the right side of their face is a dark blue-green patch. They do not have an eye there.

End ID]

im pansexual. if you have a problem with that, go fxxx yourself

I need help renaming my story as it's prompted off of the title "white fang" which is already a very famous book

here's some bits in the book's: Frankensteinwhte type experiment gay romance between teen boys animal teeth car crash broken bones desperation

any like ideas on how to create a new title? (also yes my account is named after my writing because i really love it lol)

Am I trans?? Bro help

I don't like being a girl, i don't hate it but i'd rather be perceived as nothing yk?

A lot of people don't really see me as a girl and I like that

I'd rather have been born a boy but I don't want to change now I guess

I hate my chest and I don't really want it

My mum is okay with me being trans but she doesn't really get it

I’m coming out as non-binary. My pronouns are they/them/theirs. I came out to the club I’m in today and they all accepted me including the teacher. I’m so happy.

I just can’t stop imaging kishou coming out as like gay or bi and Tsuneyoshi’s reaction is just

“Okay? You still need to turn in your reports on time.”

Or

“Your a disappointment regardless of what gender you want to fuck.”

He’s not an ally he just doesn’t give a shit

The masculine urge to wash my hair with a bar of soap

Thinking about the time when my mom accidentally outed me to my grandma by showing her a picture of baby me sleeping in a closet then saying “guess who finally came out of the closet”

HIIIIIIIIII
