Anyone have interesting coming out stories?? Or any stories at all?

Gross. But at least I'll never have to do it again

Told my parents when I went out to a birthday dinner at a Greek restaurant with them. Had two bottles of wine before going, was totally mashed, and it all came out. They were fine. Came sometime between nearly choking on an olive, and dancing on a barrel top with some middle-aged lady. They told my sister that I had needed Dutch courage to tell them, when really it hadn't been my intention to say anything, it wasn't some planned sort of thing. They think they're so important that I had been planning how I would tell them. I don't think I ever told anyone I was gay whilst sober until I was at least 25. Ha.

Oh, you wanted interesting stories?

Edit: I'm not totally sure what coming out really is. What is the definition?

I escaped somehow. Let's go

actualy [sic] I have quite a blessed life if I'm honest. I have many people to love, hate few and have few money problem's [sic].... What more does a person need? Oh yeah and I have some kind of humbleness unlike you of course ^_^ ~ CarefulCarpenter

I told my sister one night before going to bed. She was shocked and never expected it apprently.

Even though I adore baking, fashion, Desperate Housewives and all things flamboyant.

She then outed me(with my permission, of course) to my rents. My mother just about accepted it but never really talks about it much...and apparently when she told my Dad he said nothing...

But meh....never related to him anywho.

Well I've only come out to my closest friends, they are not interesting stories.

My parents know but I've never told them. I guess I'm just not hiding it anymore, so I'm sure they know.

The reason I don't tell them is because I don't have a reason to do it and cause all that uneccessary drama. I have enough drama without that discussion between me and my mom only, because my dad doesn't exist, he's like dead to me. He's just the old drunk who lives here, so who cares.

my parents found out quite an interesting way..
i was 14 and a total mess, and because they were so 'concerned' about me & i wouldnt talk to them they waited until i was on the computer, then my dad grabbed my arms & physically held me down whilst my mum went through all my emails & msn conversations, which was horrid because they were private (and some were really obscene) then they went through my texts & journal.all the while i was hysterically sobbing for them to leave me alone and they then concluded it was 'just a phase'. my dad even had the nerve a few months later to tell me i was just attention seeking.pfft.4 years later, we dont talk about it,unless they're making a dig at me.

everyone at my school found out too, i told a few friends & the rumour mill did its work.i used to get strangers coming up to me asking questions, i got threatened, spat at, i got charming graffiti about me in the toilets saying i was a dirty dyke who was 'gonna get fucked up'.yeah, i regret telling my friends that early, school would have been a hell of a lot easier if no one knew.

that is awful. rather brave of you to tell your friends at such a young age.

you've probably come out of it a stronger person anyway

That is so fucking horrible. I'd probably never forgive my parents if they did that to me. Ever.

You are an abomination in the eyes of The Lord..... I fully support your parents and schoolfriends actions, they had your best interests at heart... Have you considered therapy to make you straight again?

Have you considered being punched in the face to make you sane again?

he needs to try harder

Now I know what I meant to ask you, Tomsk. Are you related to her?

Interesting? How about NASTY! What a horrible thing your parents did..

I'm never telling my olds, I never even talk to them, why would I bother just going... uh, gay here!?

They'll work it out one day.

the last two people I've dated have been boys. she's probably hoping I'll turn straight.
