Separate "straight" and "gay" facebook profiles

I have a separate facebook from family and friends i post stuff that i don't want my family knowing

 

Yeah one of my friends does that, as he's not out and posts gay related stuff among other ridiculous stuff on his regular FB, but his family wanted to add him on FB so he made one for that purpose.

So, if it works for you, go for it!

 

How would you work it? Would you only add people who know you're gay?

King x

 

Yeah and, what would be the risk of someone you know finding out?
I thought of it b4, but now just deleted some friends from Kingdom Hall(church) and maybe one day I'll be fully out and see who still remains my friend don't know

 

Lmao I would NEVER add People from my Kingdom Hall, its bad enough I have my brother sister neice two former babysitters and a family friend but im pondering jist deactivating it.

 

not a good idea things get to messy that way. Its way to easy for peoples posts and messages to get interlinked and transfered back to other people use a much less popular form of social media. Sneaking around has consequences once your out you can enjoy the fruits of facebook. while in the closet its just not a good idea it will put you into a position that

 

You could always just block them from seeing certain things. But having to filter everything you post may get tiresome after a while.

 

While you can try to be super careful in maintaining two streams of info separate online, I'd be more concerned about any people who would be "friends" of both of your profiles, and posting something/tagging you in a pic "on the wrong side" accidentally or carelessly

 

I feel that having 'straight' and 'gay' Facebook profiles is duplicitous and dishonest.

 

Well I think that's stupid because you're basically showing a group of people who you know well who you're NOT, and another group of people who you probably don't know as well who you actually are.

 

isn't it sad we gotta do it?

i have one as a transman, under my chosen first name and pen last name, only 3 friends on it...2 transwomen and a lesbian. kinda pathetic, nobody from my real life is on it to keep it safer for being David. but gee! so artificial!

just another reason to come out.

 

Try Google +. Not widely used but wonderful for sharing various things with limited groups of people..

 

I never understood the need to have multiple accounts for Facebook, YouTube, etc. What's the point? Messy as hell and it's irritating that I have been friends with people who I don't even particularly like in real life at least three or four times due to them creating accounts for some bizarre reason (and they have never been hacked to my knowledge).

And besides, if you really want to have your Interested In section of your Facebook account public, then you can modify the settings so that it doesn't appear for certain people anyway (as in people you don't want to know).

 

I think it's dishonest, rather silly and not a good idea.

 

I think it will cause more trouble then it's worth

 

I'm out on both of mine but one is for family and one for friends.

 

I can see this going very badly wrong. It would be very easy to post the wrong thing on the wrong facebook page, or to accidentally add someone to the wrong facebook account, both of which would have the potential to out you before you were ready. I also think that it would take too much time and energy to maintain two facebook pages.

 

You could create a group of people who know and then adjust your privacy settings so that only they can see any gay stuff you're posting.

 

My Facebook & Twitter life: I'm straight.

So I use Tumblr,
Tumblr life; Not afraid to show I'm Bisexual.
