Stupid or Funny responses to your coming out...

[Dobson73]

Older Sister: "Oh, Is THAT all?? (There'd been some tension in the family about what was "wrong" with little brother!)

Friend (now ex-friend): "You're telling me you're a f**king Fag"? She was trying to shove her tongue down my throat at the time.

Mum: "I thought that might have been the case but I'd hoped not". Funnily, our relationship went into a steep decline after that!!

What a great Thread!

I contacted a friend of mine via IM to tell her something secret (it wasn't that I am gay) and she was on the edge of her seat and after I told her she said, "ugh!!! I thought you were gonna tell me ANOTHER secret, you call THAT a secret?" So then I told her I was gay and she was like, "Jesus Fucking Christ it took you long enough, how many people have you told before me?" Me: "Only about 5 people know." Her: " I'm number 6?!!?!?!, I'm so insulted!!!"


I told another close friend and all of a sudden she's telling me to be careful and giving me statistics on HIV. ugh...erm, I mean how sweat. :/


I've told two girls on seperate occasions while they were sleeping in my bed. They were both devastated (that was the word used) cause they saw me as potential boyfriend material. Oh well.

My partner's father--to him: You know, I can understand two men loving each other, but I can't understand butt fucking. Doesn't it hurt to have a guy stick his dick up your butt? (I can't imagine having this conversation with my father, so I asked him how he responded. Gracefully as ever, he replied--When you love someone, trust them, and they are gentle, it's really quite pleasureable and loving. To which his father replied--"Oh, ok, I guess so." The things people are curious about!)

In a way your partner's father and he are quite refreshing. How unusual -- and, yet, mature -- for two people to have such a conversation. Most folks have given some thought to the topic -- but don't talk about it.

Stupid, Asexual guy from college: "See, if I was a girl, I'd like guys, but since I'm a guy, I like girls. I wonder why you're all turned around? If you were a girl, would you like girls?"

Nice but clueless guy in college: "So you were genetically supposed to be a woman?"
Me: "Do I LOOK Russian?"

Extremelely clueless girlfriend of one of my friends in college : "Doesn't that hurt?"
Me: "Doesn't what hurt"
Her: "You know..." (smiles"
Me: "Um... no, I don't know, actually.. does it hurt to be gay?"
Her: "You know.. when he sticks it in?"
Me: "What the fuck are you talking about?"
Her: "His dick.. doesn't that hurt?"
Me: "I woudln't know"
Her: "Isn't that what you guys do?"

Overly Free-spirited woman at my sister's wedding: "You always were a little more... fun loving than your brothers... except your little brother.. he's as fun loving as you... maybe you won't be alone" (my little brother was 8 at the time)

After a lot of hemming and hawing and angst, I finally blurted it out to my wife. Her response was, "Oh, thank heavens. I thought it was something important."

 

[pkacrotjs]

I've gotten lots of the 'we knew but didn't know how to say anything' (frustrating, as it was before I'd figured it out...)

oddest was hearing my ex-wife say that her sister and my brother-in-law had a bet about it. Pisses me off, but oh well--I'm in a better place now (she cheated, we divorced, THEN i figured it out....)

 

[Kulindahr]

Shortly after I came out, I met a guy I was getting along with great, and I decided, Dude, I'm gonna get this cleared up now before I get hurt later. So when we got off the bus at the transit center I told him, "Dude, I need to get this out of the way: I'm into dudes."

"Right on! Jus' a sec." And he snaps open the cell phone. Nexst... "Mom, he's gay!! Yeah, I know -- yeah, you can call her." Several phone calls later, during which I stood there bewildered, he said, "They love you!"

I got taken to dinner: his mom's a les, so's his step-mom, his former baby sitter.....

Then from his step-mom: "It's so wonderful he has someone like you in his life."

Nice but clueless guy in college: "So you were genetically supposed to be a woman?"
Me: "Do I LOOK Russian?"

I needed that.
I've gotten the same response, but never had a good comeback. Then my moment of hesitation has been followed by:

"Well, don't expect me to fuck you."
"If you've been with anyone I know, I WILL kill you."
"Yeah... and genetically you're actually blonde."

The first and the last, I can laugh at now. Unfortunately they were all said in a harsh tone that let me know I WASN'T accepted. TIll your post those have done nothing but hurt -- now I can see humor. Thanks.

I have some interesting coming out stories.

I was sixteen and came out to another gay boy at my school who I was hooking up with. Him, myself and our (now) mutual hag Jill were at a diner where I was supposed to tell her. While we were sitting there with my trying to come out, Pink's "I'm Coming Out, so you better get this party started..." was playing, then immediately following it was "I'm coming out. I want the world to know, got to let it show..." played. After we left the diner Jill made some comment about coming out of the emo closet (inside joke) to which the guy who I was hooking up with at the time basically tackled me and was like "IF YOU DON'T TELL HER I WILL" so I just crumbled and cried "I'm gay" to which Jill replied "I know!!" and we both had a nice cry and a hug.

Coming out to my mother was anything but a normal process. I have a mother who is incredibly understanding who I'm lucky to have. It took two years after I came out to my friends and sister for me to tell her, and there was no reason for me not to tell her, because even when I was little she would say how its okay to be gay, etc. During this 2 years, my sister even told me that she knew and was like "who the hell is he kidding." It still took me forever to tell her, I just kind of used the analogy "Well its kind of like we both know I like warm socks, we just don't talk about it." I set up a deadline for myself to tell her, and on that day I woke up and realized that she had left for the weekend to visit my sister and that she left me brownies. So I called her up thanked her for the brownies and I was like "We both know I'm gay, right?" and shes like "Yup. Anything else?" and I said "Nope." "Okay, see you when I get back sweetie, love you bye." And that was it.

I'm a jerk.

My best friend asked me if he could tell his wife what was up. Go for it Mr C. His wifes's reaction was the best knowing what a C U Next Tuesday my ex wife was, screamed " Oh my gawd, what did that bitch do to him". He called me up and it took him liked 10 mins. to able to spit out what Teresa said because he was laughing so hard.Still get a smile about that one.

Gotta love these stories! While having lunch with a co-worker, she quizzed my about my "roommate":

Co-worker: "Is your roommate...er...you know....funny?"
Me: "Hysterically so. In fact, we're both really hilarious."


One of my best female friends from high school, responded with, "Damn! I had heard that rumor, but I was still planning to marry you after graduation. I guess I'll have to find a boyfriend now."

 

[duroc5088]

the best response i can imagine came from a good friend of mine i have had a crush on for sometime now he said "cool me too" when i told him i wa bi-sexual.

 

[neonnn]

When i plucked up the courage to tell my best friend, after many drinks, her first words were ' Well u love the Minogues and know how to dress, if u wanted to surprise me u have failed'............to think i waited years to tell her and thats her response.
i laughed for about a week.

 

[Elwood]

Two weeks ago I came out to a longtime friend and his wfie. I said I have something to tell you, I am gay. he turns around and says I thought you were going to tell me Kelly( my ex-wife) had a boyfriend. Uhh not quite lol

 

[luminum]

"You bastard."

After some time:

"I can never tell if you're joking or not."

(I told my best friend on line and he thought I was pulling a fast one on him.)

 

[Tadaa]

I came out to this idiot once and his response was " so you want to be a woman".

 

[sweetguyinla18]

Best-Friend: "Ya I know, we were thinking of a way to make you say it but this works too"

Best-Friend2: "And.... dude your a little late on that one"

Best-Friend2 Older Brother: "HAHAHAHA.... Dude thats funny"
Me: "Dude I'm serious I'm gay"
BF2OB: "But your such a pimp how can you be gay"
Me: "Because I have sex with dues"
BF2OB: "Whaaat no I don't belive you"
Me: Call's BF2: "Dude tell your brother I'm gay"
BF2 - BF2OB: "Ya dude he's not kidding I've seen him make out with a few dudes"
BF2OB: "Dude right on, but like I'm not gay"
Me: "Don't worry you have too big of an ego anyway"

Last but not least
Best-Friend 3: "Dude I have no problem with that I mean it's cool and all but I have a girlfriend we've already slept together but no gay sex in my house, I'm sorry your boy friends can come over just no gay sex in my house, you can fuck my sister though if you want.."

My best friend also first thought I was joking when I finally (have known him for almost 10 years) told him. After a night of heavy drinking (thank you Stoli) I just blurted it out: "I'm gay"

friend: laughing hahahaha
me: no, I am gay.
friend: hahaha, that's not funny anymore
me: no, it's not. I am gay (getting little emotional)
friend: nervous laughter, REALLY?

It all ended well, me sobbing and he giving me a hug telling it's allright. He was shocked for a couple of days tho and perhaps felt a bit betrayed because I had not told him earlier.

Her:...ah...

::Later at Taco Bell::

Me:...so you got a boyfriend?
(She and her friend exchange glances)
Her: What do I need a boy for?
