Hey Pandas, What Is Your Coming Out Story? (Closed)

I have recently discovered that I am pansexual, but I don’t know if I should come out. I really want to, but I’m worried about what other people will think and how my friends and family will react. Hopefully, this will help me with some ideas or ways I can go about it. Anything helps. Thanks!

Me: Hey, I have something to tell you...
My friend: What?
Me: I think I'm bi
My friend: :D I'm lesbian!
Me:
My friend:
Me:
My friend:
Me: OH MY GOD WE'RE LIKE LGBTQ+ EVIL DEMON FRIENDS
My friend: WE WILL BOTH RULE THE WORLD
Me: THOSE MERE MORTALS WILL NEVER RISE FROM THE ASHES OF THEIR SHAME AND HUMILIATION
(I think it went something like that?)
Fast forward a few months: They're genderfluid and I'm pansexual

I'm so happy for all of you. you not only came out to friends and family, but to the f***** b boredpanda community!! So anyway, give yourselves a pat on the back, you guys are awesome.

i accidentally came out to my parents because they saw BP and saw my user name. my brother already knew because he likes to snoop around my room. not many other people in my family know about it but I don't want to tell them just yet. i also might be agender but I don't know yet. but if I am agender i shall be known as the thing that likes hoomans.

I know it says tell your story, but I don't have one so I'll tell my brother's.
It happened during dinner, the whole family was there. My dad is kind of a homophobe and his friend had recently found out that his son was gay and told my dad. So basically my dad was rebuking his friends son. He kept on making these mean and very offensive comments. My brother just kept quiet and continued eating. I was the only one who knew at that time that he was gay, so I kinda felt bad and kept on asking my dad to stop. Then he(my dad) said if he was his friend he would have thrown his son out cause he would never live with a (sorry for this) f***got. My brother calmly stood up and went to up to his bedroom, about 10 minutes later he came back down and he had his suitcases. My dad was confused and asked where he was going. My brother replied with a really calm tone and said, " I'm leaving. I wouldn't want you to live with a f**got'. And with that he left.

The past couple of months I've been trying to figure myself out. When I finally did, I was trying to figure out how to tell my mom that I'm bi. I'm not so good at talking, so I pulled up an article on my phone about bisexuality and gave my mom the phone with the article still pulled up. She replied "Oohhhhh" and she gave me the biggest hug in the world. She also said "I had a feeling!", which totally surprised me! I love my mom

My parent's don't know, but i came out to my friends and they support me, we were all joking that we were 'gay' for each other and I was like, HELL YEA. and I told them lmao, it was great, I felt like I could be myself after that day
Now I'm wearing chokers and fishnets and dresses all the time lmao, and I can just be myself. it's awesome

I believe that sexuality is fluid and based on connection and attraction. So I guess I'm pretty bi.
I told my little brother first, and he told me to shut up, 'cause he was watching tv.
I told my friends next. We were chilling during lunch period in a classroom and I said,
"I have something I kinda gotta tell you guys..."
My bff says, "Oh, you're in love with (otherfriend)?"
Me: "God, that was so, two years ago."
Bff: "Wait... So you're..."
Me: "Turns out your gaydar isn't as good as you thought."
Bff: "Well, neither is yours." *wink*

For my schools rainbow day, I drew a bunch of pan flags on my arms. I think it was pretty obvious after that.

A few weeks ago I had a doctors appointment and they were asking questions to fill in my chart thingy. She asked if I liked boys or girls better. I said both and I saw my mom smile across the room.

I got into a HEATED argument with a very christian homophobe (i'm athiest) and I forgot that he was christian and I cursed him out, he told his mom, who told my mom, then I got grounded for cursing someone out. My parents keep saying to me everytime I metion something about me being lesbian they go "BUT YOU MIGHT BE BISEXUAL" -_- they want me to marry a *gag* male when I'm older. (I'm 14 and all of this was the thursday before thanksgiving)

this isn't my coming out to my parents, but to my aunt, so not sure if this counts, so here we go. my brother and I were visiting her, and she asked my brother if he liked any girls, so I said "I don't know about him, but I like girls." and it was the best thing ever.
