I think my friend's coming out story to her mum is the best.. she stumbled into her house and shithead o'clock in the morning and her mum was giving her a grilling about it and all she could come out with was .. "i'm a pilled up lesbian.." class.

I however have had many different reactions from different people..
my dad who is the most hypcritical biggot to ever walk the planet said to me "haha very funny, see you later love." "err.. no really.." "oh -pause- have a nice day.."

my mum.. "I knew it! all those times me and mel (my auntie) teased you about drinking out of the furry cup, you actually do? it's just a phase..right?"

my deputy manager.. "really? but.. you have really nice tits.. what a waste!" (ewww)

My friend Chris (he's straight) .. "oh my god, mint! we can be like Will and Grace but.. not."

My friend Toni from college.. "there's no talent on our course is there? all the guys are gross.."
me: "well it would help if I actually liked men.. judging if they were nice or not.."
Toni: "haha all dickheads aren't they.."
me: "well yeah.. but.. i'm a lesbian, woman!"
Toni: " hahahahaha.. -face drops-.. oh -serious face- oh look.. a pigeon.."

when i came out to my dad the first thing he said was:
"oh, how modern of you"

found this on a site

A young woman, in the course of her college life, came to terms with her homosexuality and decided to come out of the closet. Her plan was to tell her mother first; so on her next home visit, she went to the kitchen, where her mother was busying herself stirring stew with a wooden spoon. Rather nervously, she explained to her that she had realized she was gay.
Without looking up from her stew, her mother said, "You mean, lesbian?"

"Well... yes."

Still without looking up: "Does that mean you lick women down below?"

Caught off guard, the young woman eventually managed to stammer an embarrassed affirmative; whereupon her mother turned to her and, brandishing the wooden spoon threateningly under her nose, snapped: "Don't you *EVER* complain about my cooking again!"

Coming out to my mother had been easy, however, I had been afraid of my father's reaction.

So, three months after coming out to her I got my mother to call Dad over the phone and come out for me...
Next thing my mobile goes off and it's Dad:

"Why were you too afraid to tell me? Your mother's the prudish one!...
Thank God I don't have to worry about grand children!"

When I came out to my parent's they understood quiet well actually. My moms only question was "Are you sure?" I told her yeah that I was pretty sure. My friends on the other hand were a little more comical.
A very good friend put it quite right by replying
"So you like innies instead of outies?"
I laughed so hard I fell off my chair.
"Yes sweety I like innies"

At school a few years ago, this girl kept trying to set me up with a guy in my class, none of the students really knew me or anything about me, so it kinda went like..

Girl: Hey, would you go out with -Guy-
Me: Uh..well, I don't date guys
Girls: So, what you just play around with them?
Me: ......*Silent for a while, I think I looked at her like she was stupid* No, I'm gay.
Girl: Oh....

And then she walked off and ATLEAST 5 minutes later, the whole year level I was in knew about it.

Word travelled really fast.

While sitting in the top level of the school building waiting for English to start..

Finnali: "Ash, how do lesbians have sex?"

Posted by Elena, at 18:10 on Wed, Aug 1st

Actually received on myspace from a male after I declined his overly-friendly friend request and told him I was lesbian:

"Are you sure you are a lesbian? Because I looked at your pics and I looked at your eyes. You have really pretty eyes. I don't think you're a lesbian."

WTF???

one night down the pub this old bloke was coming on to me, after all efforts to get him away from me i told him i was a lesbian, he wouldn't accept it and things started heating up, he said i was too young to be a lesbian, since when did sexuality have a age limit. his last words before i stormed out the door were " oh i get why your a lesbian its cos you've got small tits! how nice.

when my dad found out i was gay (through a nosey nieghbour who seen my gf leaving early one morning) he said i hear you've changed you sexual prefferances? i nodded he said well i hope your brother doesn't ever tell me the same thing, to which i replied what that he sleeps with woman haha. i also found it funny when family friends that i've grown up with found out i was gay, my best friends dad thought i wanted to sleep with any woman and constantly watched me near his wife! er your wife is like my auntie mate and besides that she's a dog!!

Well... Once a friend of mine asked: "How did you know that you were a lesbian?"... er... duh... I answered "How do you know that you are straight?"... not happy though he goes: "How can you say that you are a lesbian? You liked men... After all you have two sons!"... I told him calmly (yet) that just because I was married and I had two sons did not meant that I liked men"... But he was still not happy and said..."oh.. please you are so beautifu and sooo feminine (with his hands making an hour glass figure in the air!!!!).. I can not believe!"... NOw I was loosing mY nerve and say this between my teeth: "look mate... Just the ugly boyish girls are lesbians? Get a grip and open your eyes!"... Once more he dared to ask one more stupid question: "OH come on... do not tell me that if you sleep with the right guy you would not come to "our" side again!"... Ok... that was it..."look you... Let me guess.. that right guy it would be you?... ok... First do not flatter yourself so much and second i did not slept with the wrong guys... I slept with the right women!" and turned my back before I punch him in the face... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's not a coming out comment but when discussing which club I was going to my mum asks "so what does G.A.Y stand for" ME *blinking several times
* "its means gay, mum"
Mum "I know that just thought it might stand for something"

my mum finding out about me being gay was the most shocking and embarassing experience ever.
Upon walking in on me lying on top of and snoggin my then girlfriend, my mum sat me down and ''had the talk''
mum: so are you gay or bi
me: im gay. do you hate me?
mum: no iv always known the signs were always there. to be honest if i wasnt a christian id probably be living with another woman right now.

The shock!!! I was speechless.

Me and my ex partner were out with my sister and her friends for her birthday, getting along quite well. We sit down in the corner for a drink when my sister who had been quite quiet all evening suddenly came out with "so who's the man and who's the woman?"

Posted by Claire, at 21:33 on Sun, May 6th

Me and some of my navy mates a group of about 25 lads and 3 girls were all sitting in the corner having a laugh when this guy decided he was going to chat up the bar maid (she was hot!) he strolled over to her but came back about 2 mins later saying well a girl like her must already have a boyfriend! a bit later he started up taking the piss out of me as he does so well when the bar maid came over to take our glasses hearing what he was saying she looked at me with a sort of surprised face and said ohh my god your gay? can i have your number?

The day I came out to my dad...who was the last person in the family to know...was whenhe was talking about a disco he did for a "you know" (his words) "feminine guy" we're talking bout gays, I thought in my head, do it!
He went on to say "I got nothing against him, think he's quite funny actually" the moment was there. I paused. and said well actually dad, I've got a girlfriend. He laughed, looked at me, and said "U donut" Oops there it is, dunno y I waited 5 years. Dunno what a donut has got to do with anything but there you go
