Coming-out Novels & Stories

"What will your friends say about this? Your mom? Your fans? The public? Your exes? Your followers? You have over one hundred million followers on I*******m and they are still growing. What will they say about this? Don't you think by coming out, you're exposing your life as well as your daughter's to danger?" "I don't care what anyone thinks or says. It's my life. Coming out isn't supposed to bother anyone. I love my family. I love my fans, I love all of you--" "We love you too!" The crowd exclaimed. "Then I hope you all can be happy for me. It is not very often for a woman like myself to get back with the father of her child and come out to the public, is it?" "Quite some damn courage." "G

Men. "Umm, after graduation. Or maybe during prom. In which I could never see some of my homophobic teammates right after that." He answered and I tapped his back. This dude has come out to me during my first two months in the apartment about three years ago because I thought he was hitting on me that I started avoiding him, and the same with Eve. And, we became friends. As we are near the entrance of the building he nudges me and we both looked at the person who is standing in front of the double door.

Lucas’ voice from outside the door rang in my head and also reminded me what day it was. It was Monday. The day when my family would finally reveal themselves to the public. A conference had been organized and the press from all over the city would be there to witness the coming out of the hidden billionaire. However, while my father and my brother would be enjoying the spotlight, I would be on my way to the hospital. I was dressed in a black dress, nothing too fancy, and then shades to hide my puffy eyes from the public. I forgot to mention I had been crying because my father had refused to even speak to me.

He began, sighing deeply before he continued, “I did it to hide my true self from my family. I’ve known I liked men since I was in high school but I never actually came out to anyone. My father already sees me as the defective one of his twin sons, it would only give him more reasons to think like that.” “You’re not defective.” I said and he snorted. “Yeah, tell that to my father.” He joked wryly. “It’s funny, you know. You’re the first person I’m coming out to.” I had a lot of things I could have said. Things like how brave he was for finally saying it out loud. How I knew exactly how heavy secrets like that could weigh on a person’s chest. But he probably didn’t need that. He didn’t need p

"The one you don't say out loud." The warehouse held its breath. Jax went first. He looked at his hands while he found the words, then looked up…at both of them, deliberate, not flinching from the exposure of it. "That I'll lose the only people who have ever seen me and not run. The way my family did when I stopped pretending to be someone I wasn't." His jaw worked. "I came out at twenty-two. My father said I was choosing to be broken. My mother didn't disagree. I've spent ten years being the most reliable person in any room so that nobody could justify walking away from me again." A beat. "It hasn't worked as well as I'd hoped."

An hour before the college application deadline, I jolt awake in my hotel room in Chanont. My girlfriend, Evelyn Keate, and my adopted brother, Marvin Needham, are nowhere to be seen. I immediately call them, reminding them to get their applications in before the deadline. To my surprise, they burst out laughing. "We're already back home, and we got our applications in last night. You still haven't submitted yours?" I can hear my parents criticizing me in the background. My mom said, "He's always like this. He's so careless that he doesn't even take his own future seriously." "Marvin has always been so much easier," my dad remarked. Laughter and chatter fill the other end of the line

“You cheer her on at games, wear her jersey number, call her your queen. But none of you know me. I was fine with that. Content to stay in her shadow because she deserved to shine. But then this picture got out, and everything changed. It turned our lives upside down.” My throat tightens, emotion threatening to drown me, but then I feel it—Millie’s hand, her fingers curling around mine, grounding me. I glance at her and see those green eyes again, steady and sure. It’s enough to push me forward. “I know there are people here who are scared,” I say, my voice cracking with raw honesty. “Scared to come out, to live their truth, because of shit like this. Because of people like you.” I gesture t

But look at what you've done. Connor tried hard not to tremble. His deepest secrets—hidden for so many years—had suddenly been exposed. Having his deepest shame uncovered like this left him feeling dizzy.

Taylor's POV It's finally the weekend which means that today I will be going shopping with my best friends looking for clothes for our graduation party. This week had been crazy with confessions and saying goodbye to my childhood friend, Liam. However, we still keep contact with each other, even though we're in two different cities. Liam told me that Melissa was no longer an annoying bitch and she suddenly became nice to everyone and was starting to wear jeans. This at first was freaking Liam out, because she was totally different from her normal self but was going back to how she was in our childhood.

"You've got half a day to move. Call someone or I will. Out of pity for your sad single-mom act, I won't even charge you if I do it myself." She bolted to the balcony, shaking, voice cracking into the phone. "Come quick... I'm scared of her." Typical. Playing damsel and calling backup. Perfect. I was ready. I looked around—cozy little setup. Photos of the three of them smiling like some perfect family. I was the outsider here. By the door: men's slippers labeled "Dad," women's with "Mom," and a tiny pair that said "Princess." Even the bathroom had a guy's toothbrush and mug.
