For me, after I realized that I was actually pansexual, I pretty much immediately came out to my best friends, since I knew that they would be chill with it. Wasn't really planning on telling my parents at first, but after around a year of so, I couldn't really hold it in me to stay silent any longer. My dad came to pick me up, so we were just sitt...... 2 reply
I came out to my sister a few years ago since she herself is LGBTQ+ However, I came out to my friends a few months ago. I hadn't planned to do it, but watching Eric from Sex Education gave me confidence, and I announced that I was a non-binary, biromantic asexual on social media. Surprisingly, all of them were really supportive of me, and some even...... reply
Haven’t told anyone in my personal life that I am asexual, and I’m not sure I plan on doing so, so I can’t really give tips.
If I did though, I think my parents will probably worry about the fact that I won’t have anyone with me in my old age. 2 reply

I was really struggling about how to tell my mother that I'm gay. After talking with my boyfriend (now ex), he suggested that maybe if I can't say it, then maybe I should write a letter. So I wrote quite a long letter explaining how I feel and things ...... 1 reply
It took me 15 years to finally realize I was Demisexual and panromantic so I was scared to come out at first. But luckily I had my cousin who identified as a transgender FTM and helped me get over my fears slowly but surely. I told my girlfriend first and she said she would still love me no matter what and that gave me the courage to tell my dad wh...... 1 reply
Bi and LGBT studies researcher here! Well, this might be long. Until my second year of university I did not realize that I was bi. However, when I did, many MANY things made sense ( like, past relationships in which I was confused by how I felt towards some friends). My mother had always seemed to be an open-minded person about LGBT ( she had alwa...... 1 reply
Sometimes people that know you know more than they let on. I mean, when I mentioned the term to my mom she was like " well, that makes sense." I haven't mentioned it to my siblings but I'm sure they'd have the same reaction. Friends or coworkers wouldn't understand though. But I guess when asexuals are less than 1% of the world's population, what ...... 1 reply
Haven't come out yet. But I've casually given my parents some clues (like asking their opinion on LGBT and blah blah blah) I don't actually plan on coming out I just plan to bring a girlfriend home and introduce her as my lover, just like any straight person would. 1 reply
