JASMINE
OKLAHOMA | SERIES # 4
This is my coming out story. It was a typical PFlag party and my dads Sean Freiley and Mitch Dailey took my brother and I to it. I remember my heart racing because I was so nervous to come out that day. I told an individual of our community that I was straight that day and I knew I was lying. I couldn’t stop checking out the girls and guys there. It was so awkward when it happened. My first ex boyfriend, whose name I will not disclose for personal reasons, helped me come out. I told him that I liked him and he said to me, “If you like me and guys, then you’re bisexual.” It was a joke he came up with because he is a transgender individual who thought making a joke would calm me down and it did. His joke was that he is a transgender male but said that if I liked him then I liked a female. But his intentions were pure and non offensive. Finally, I said yes I’m bisexual.
