How did you come out to your parents?
When I was fourteen my family were having a drink in our bar. My dad called me a fanny, and I said ‘well you are what you eat’. He laughed so hard he spat his drink out. He then shouted over to my mum what I had said, and she came over and gave him money!
Turns out they had a bet on; my mum thought I was a lesbian and was using my boyfriend at the time as cover (my boyfriend at the time is now my husband!). Whereas my dad thought I was bi.
Hopefully all stories will be as happy and accepting as that one, but I know they probably won’t be  |

When I told my dad he said "I love you no matter what son". When I told my mom she said "we always knew you were weird".
All my love to others who's stories were not so positive x x |

I've never come out and I don't consider myself to be fully bi, I'm more hetero flexible. I will play with a lady in a group situation if it feels right, I just kind of go with the flow, but I'm not interested in one to one play with a lady. Unfortunately hetero flexible or bi playful are not an option on fab.
My 17 year old niece has ever had to come out to the family. She has been going to pride events for years and is an active member of the lgbtq group at college (she calls it gay club!) Her mum was pretty surprised when she announced she had a boyfriend last year  |

I can't imagine myself dating a woman so I haven't "come out" since I don't discuss my sexual partners with my parents.
If that were to change I'm lucky enough to know that my parents wouldn't bat an eyelid, they are both very liberal minded and accepting and for that I am truly grateful, I know many people aren't so lucky.

I just stood up and said "there is something I have to say... I am gay"
then my mum said it was okay she would tell my dad and I said okay.
Later my dad asked me if I was gay, i said yeah, he said okay.
I am not gay. I came out to see if they would accept me and intended to move out if they didn't accept me. A few weeks later I brought a girl home, I had forgotten i came out as gay.
I brought her into the sitting room and said "This is my girlfriend".
My mum looked her up and down, looked at me confused and said "I thought you were gay? are you one of those bisexuals?"
I laughed and after a little time left, my girlfriend didn't say anything until we left, when she just looked at me and said "Why does your mum think you're gay?" |

I was a lesbian before I was bi - there wasn't really any coming out to my mum who is a middle class kaftan wearing hippie sort. She's always been supportive to the point of slightly mortifying. |

Over the last year I came out to my close friends and my sisters about lilly and that I was bi. Christmas Eve this year I told my parents I was bi and then put it on Facebook Christmas day so now I'm fully out as bi. The lilly side of me stays with my friends and sisters. Everyone has been pretty cool with it.
The only negative part was when my mum found out I'd put it on Facebook her first question was 'you don't have any of my family on your Facebook do you?' |

Right.
So my dad eas convinced i was gay since he age of about 13.
No idea why... He used to drink quite often and would either tell e he is proud of me and that its ok to be gay.... Or he would turn nasty and use fists.
Depended on how wasted he was... And maybe what he had taken.
So i just let him believe what he wanted.
I 'Came out' as straight to my dad when i got engaged.... To a girl...18 years ago.
So fast forward and hes a changed man and we laugh about it now.
Some wounds dont mend.. But you have to try and let families heal. |

When my family found out my mum burst into tears and told me I was going to die (because of anal sex) and that I'm going to hell because I'm evil.
That kind of put a dampener on our relationship after that. |

My mum thought my relationship with a woman was just a phase when I was 18 and told her I was gay, she said she used to fancy her best friend etc but was quite accepting. She even met my girlfriend. Needless to say yes I am now mostly into men but I am fully bisexual I could happily be with a woman again sexually and in a relationship but I also love the cock haha. |
