@itskhikhi luckily I was in a safe environment, parents were pretty accepting. And had minimal bullying in school so i count myself lucky to be able to be my authentic self from a young age.

I knew since I was 8 but only came out when 19 to friends and 21 to family. Parents were unexpectedly accepting for a catholic household, kinda made me wish I had came out sooner 😂

Still haven’t told anyone except my sister. Pretty sure my family is going to just hold a funeral and pretend I died 😬 oh well.

I started coming out to closer friends in high school. Went away to college and started there as an out person. Came out to my parents and family shortly after college.

I was 13 when I came out for my sexuality and 14 when I came out as trans (but didn't tell my mom until 16, maybe 17 I just can't remember the month 😂)

@aspn that’s nice. I yearn for a world where gays don’t have to explain themselves

@umguicastro who knows, maybe the time you took was the time they were taking to become more open minded

@hephaestion if they don’t accept you, they don’t deserve to be around you.

I mean, my closet had a glass door 😅 At 15 I met my first fellow gay person.. a lesbian who was not shy about it, had my first crush and my mom caught my history browser lolll and at 18 I openly started saying things like “he’s handsome or I like/fancy xyz” One of the few good things about being “flamboyant” or call it as you may… is that you don’t have to spell it, they just know 🤷🏼‍♀️
