So, in honor of Pride Month, I wanna share my coming out story.

When I was 12/13, I had an online girlfriend. She was so sweet and I can honestly say I loved her lol.

Well, my mother decided she was gonna go through my instant messages for one reason or another. She legit didn't give me a reason. But it was late at night and I had been upstairs in bed. She called me down stairs (where my computer was).

So she sees I've called this girl my girlfriend and we were talking about our sexualities.

I wish I could tell you I was kidding but she beat the living shit out of me. Like beating me so bad, I had bruises all over.

I don’t know if she thought she could beat the "gay" out of me or what, but it was terrifying.

At this point, its about 2 am and she decides to call my very religious, catholic grandparents. AT 2 AM!

Shes going on and on with my grandma how this isn't right, blah blah blah and then hands me the phone.

I could hear the sleepiness in my grandmas voice. And my grandma tries to explain to me that this MIGHT just be a phase. So, to get her off the phone and back into bed I agree with her.

Then my mother sends me back to bed.

****

I hadn't planned to come out, I was outted. And once I was out I wasn't allowed to talk about it, she shamed me for it, laughed and mocked me for it, for a long ass time I couldn't have ANY kind of friends over or leave the house. She grounded me for being bisexual. I wasn't allowed to be bisexual. It was forcefully, brutally ingrained into my head that I was a disgrace.

It has taken me so long to even be comfortable around women in a romantic setting. And I still get nervous; I shake like crazy.

In the itty-bitty back of my mind I'm waiting to get beaten for holding hands with a girl, kissing a girl, loving a girl.

Through the course of my life, being anything but straight was so shameful.. I'll tell you about it another time.

Ok. Ima start here. I’ve known that I have an attraction to both gorls and bois for almost three years. Still young. But enough for me to be happy with my surety. Anyways, my brother left for college last Friday. My gift to him was a vERY VERY obviously bi painting. And a note attached to him explaining everything to him. I told him not to open it till we left. (My parents don’t know yet) basically I came out to my brother. And I cannot explain to you how terrified I was of his reaction. It took me two days to finally ask him if he opened it. I asked him. And I was scared as soon as I sent the message. I thought he was going to disown me. Hate me. Lecture me. Not want to talk to me. Tell my mom. Tell my dad. I was TERRIFIED. The message I got back was a simple: “your secret is safe with me ;)” I WAS HIT WITH THE MOST CRAZY AMOUNT OF RELIEF. I STARTED CRYING. I WAS DANCING AROUND MY ROOM. AND I CANNOT EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE MY BROTHER. AND HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO ME. SUPPORTIVE SIBLINGS IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY ARE WHOLESOME AND MAKE ME HAVE MORE FAITH IN HUMANITY.

Amazing Sri Lanka 🏳️‍🌈

Coming out in a country like Sri Lanka has quite alot of ways people react to it, Like if you come out early in an age of 11, in my case I wasn’t even familiarized with the word “Lesbian” itself, until my peers decided to bully me up until I got done with my finals, so yes you might loose some close friends right, then you’ll have those really close friends who wants to still stay with you, but they keep giving advices on how unnatural this whole thing is and to not shame them, and you won’t listen of course so yeah they leave you out of their circles as well, so yeah basically you used to be the popular kids sister to the loner kid who nobody really wants to but is popular through word or mouth, then again school staff limits your interactions with women and you get all the batter if you hold a girls hand, or hug or share a cheek kiss, all the blames on you, then there comes a point where you have to confront the constant bullying, so you come out to your family, so if you have siblings they send you messages as to “stop ruining the family’s name, and you’re such a shame” and down the siblings goes to the “disowned list”, then comes the grandparents, mine took 11 years to properly accept me, but is still scared of some stuff, then your male birthgiver indirectlys takes you to conversion therapists and forced hiv tests, in my case I went through all that, and even suggests if you’re going to meet his relatives, you should be a puppet and not be so out and proud around them, so yeah, the relatives goes off to the “never accepting or in short, the disowned list” so yeah, basically coming out as a lesbian in Sri Lanka, you get so used to people you grew up with leave you, treat you like you are going through a phase, but working with the community I’ve seen many lesbians who come out, and doesn’t have 1 supporting figure around their family, are thrown off, basically disowned, its like, you really can’t stop it from happening, because people are living with so much fear, even earlier today, some random dude texted saying “What I have is un-natural and that there’s cures” but these kinda messages are so common right, so I didn’t talk about how APA literally stated how homosexuality isn’t a mental illness, but those kinda people really won’t care to learn right.

Loosing is a part of life, loosing loved ones when you’re a Lesbian Woman in Sri Lanka, but if you kind of think about it, they have lost you and you are finally free from their delusions, in fact you’re free!

Refer to 365/365 A for the Lankan Penal Code.
