I searched in Gay Stories and could not find such a thread....if one exists please forgive me.....I just thought it would be a good idea to start an area where we could share our coming out stories for those that are just beginning the process. Coming out can be a terrifying experience, but it can also be the most liberating, life-altering, most terrifically awesome, "best thing I ever did" experience. I am kinda relying on the guys here on JUB because my coming out experience was sort of a non-event. I have very open, "to each his own" liberal parents so there was no negative things like throwing of lamps, foul language, or disowning. But it wasn't exactly terrifying. I left my e-mail open, my mom went to use the computer and there is a big cock staring back at her. "are you gay?" "yep" "ok u being safe?" "yep" "ok we love you", THE END. sorry, told you not very exciting. HOWEVER, I am hoping that other JUBBERS have much more entertaining, inspiring stories to tell. and perhaps these success stories can be an inspiration to those just being the process and maybe can help give them the courage to come out knowing they are not alone.
 
Ok, I feel like now it's time to share my story, too. It happend like three months ago. me and my mom were watching one of those court shows on TV. In that episode there was this gay boy who was coming out to his mom in the course of the show.
I was reading a magazine, and then suddenly my mom looked at me and was like, can I ask you a question, and I said "yeah, sure". Then she asked me if I was gay. I gotta say that I was kinda speechless, cause I didn't really expect that question. After some hesitation I finally said yes. And then she said that she still loves me and everything, and she just couldn't stop saying things like that, till I finally said "Yeah, it's OK. Thank you."

After that day we never really talked about it, but it feels good to know that she knows it now, cause before that day I've never been sure if she knew it or not.
 
ok, so i've got a couple so hang in there with me.
1) My mom and are i talking about my brother and his gf (she has 3 kids at 22) hes 25. My aunt doesnt like the situation and my mom doesnt like that my aunt doesnt like it. She says something to the effect of " Well, i'd accept anyone you brought home, i'd have to." i responded with "well you wouldnt have to." she said " it doesnt matter to me, "black girl, asian girl, girl with kids, Hell it wouldnt matter if it were a big black man...what are the odds of you bringing home a big black man?." And i said, " I dont really like black men (sorry guys)" .."Well what are the odds of you bringing home a man at all?" and i said..."Pretty good" ===my mom told me she loves me and asked me why i didnt tell her sooner...==

and in interst of length..
2) Told my best conservative friennd like 10 min before my gay friends showed up to a party. i was super nervous. and he said. "dude we dont care, we love you anyways...just dont pop your fucking collar"
 
well vermilion care to share your story anyways?

and to any others, your coming out story doesn't have to be short and sweet like mine, it can be whatever.

thanks for the replies guyz, maybe we can get a "one stop shopping" area for guys looking to see how coming out went for others.
 
My junior year in highschool, our last writing assignment was supposed to be a letter to anyone about anything. In actuallity, the kind of things my classmates wrote about ended up being very personal and emotional. We were supposed to read the letters in front of the class and everyone had to write three coments and the reader would collect the comments for feedback.

After going through a lot of ideas that were cynical and political, I decided instead to write my letter to a guy I met on a cruise who was older than me who I had a serious crush on. It was a letter confiding in 'him' that I loved him, etc. etc. and how me made me feel.

So my teacher was editing it and told me she loved it and that if I didn't want to, I didn't have to read it out loud. But on the day of the assignment, my friend read hers about her father abandoning her, her mother, and her brother to start a brand new life with a new family, so I decided that I could open myself up, too.

So i read my letter last and I collected my comments and I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. My swim captain told me I did a great job and the comments all said the letter was beautiful and that I was really brave.

By 2nd period, the word had spread and my friends were coming up to me and asking if it was true and I said it was. They also told me about how some jack asses were making fun of me and how other people were standing up for me. One girl I didn't know very well had apparently turned around in a math class and told those guys that she though what I did was totally brave.

All of my friend were very accepting and at the end of the day, I was walking down the hall to my car by myself and I actually clicked my heels together and jumped up and pumped my fist in the air. I was so happy. If only everyone was so lucky...

Well best of British with that - I hope it goes well and be sure to let us know how you get on. (*8*)
 
i have a thread entitled 'my story', which pretty much tells my entire story, from march 21st when i first came out (and how i came to that point) to yesterday, when i updated with a shitty thing i did. i've gotten good feedback so far; i feel like my story can help those who haven't come out and are close to or are still needing advice.

Forgive me for being so nosy, but why next Wednesday? Is this some kind of special day for ya?

Anyways, I wish you the best of luck and I'm sure everything's gonna be alright!:gogirl: :gogirl: :gogirl:
 
May as well share mine but I agree with vermilion I would of prefered my coming out to be quiet and over and done with....

So yeah anyways not gonna go into all the details, my mother was homophobic before I came out so that put pressure on me, so did knowing no one who was gay. Went through suicide and self-harming before I told her the truth. She went crazy and decided to take me to counciling thinking it would "change" me, (silly I know) but it changed the way she thought about gay people, so it helped her instead.
Coming out WAS the best thing I ever did. My mum is fine with me being gay now,
I even brought over a bf once and I do her make-up and hair as well hehehe :) She told me she just wants me to be happy.
