i noticed that alot of queer kids feel like they have to tell their friends and family that theyre queer. even if theyll be rejected and i want to remind u all that nobody is entitled to knowing your romantic, sexual or gender orientations. nobody. you have no moral obligation to share that information if youre not comfortable with doing so youre not “lying” by not telling people or “hiding”. cause its honestly no ones business but your own you come out on your own terms when you feel safe and comfortable doing so!! or you can come out to a few trusted people if you want before telling a larger group dont feel like you owe that information to anyone ok??

This is 100% true though. It may be nice to come out and all that, but if you don't feel the need to, it really doesn't make you repressed. I don't go around telling everyone I'm bi, I only mention it if I wanna talk about something related to someone I like or something pertaining to my sexuality.

I don't pretend to be straight either, it's just really not people's business. People put way too much stress on coming out like it's something LGBT people just have to do. No, they don't and it's not always a good thing to do it when you're somewhat aware there will be a bad outcome. I didn't tell my mother about my sexuality till I was sure she was okay with it (and that was knowing my uncle had been openly gay AND openly welcome in our house since I was a child), and I would never tell my dad because he's been absent in my life and I'm sure that he wouldn't understand due to the attitudes I've seen with his family. Seriously, coming out is entirely up to you and you should only do it if you WANT to.
