For those who never came out...

That is exactly the same for me. I've told those who I feel should know, such as family, everyone else doesn't need to know

 

my parents, because I know as soon as I come out they will kick me out and never speak to me.

I am not ready for that yet so I have to wait until I am independent. And also until I am ready to sort of "losing my parents"...

Other than that I have no problem with people knowing it.

 

My family would effectively disown me. I plan on disowning them before they have a chance.

 

I was afraid. I still am actually since non of my friends know that I'm gay..yet.

 

I'm pretty sure my family and most of my childhood and current acquaintances are homophobic. I'm afraid of the backlash I'd get, the rumors and gossip, and how that will affect my younger siblings (and I). My parents and siblings would be disappointed and hurt by it, and I currently love them too much to make them go through that. Also, I might get disowned.

 

Honestly? I'm terrified of my family's reactions. They're liberal but I suspect they're transphobic. I don't plan on coming out until I'm out of the house and away should the fall out be rough.

 

Mine is mainly family and friends. i am terrified how they going to react and how they going to treat me. i just dont want to treated differently or harshly because of it. Also acceptance issues and denial issues. that's all

 

I'm not afraid of people's reactions; I'm just embarrassed.

 

I don't see the point in coming out unless I eventually decide to transition to male, which may or may not happen in the distant future. I don't think I will, but you never know. I also really want to just be who I am instead of actually talking about it. I've tried talking to people I know about it, and they just don't get it. I'm just not sure it's worth the effort.

 

i enjoy having friends

 

I'm scared shitless, so thats my reasoning.

 

Fear of unknown reactions by family lol

 

I tell my friends but my family will probably be assholes

 

Everyone i know except 2 would totally accepting but i wont come out. I'm too afraid...of what? I HAVE NO IDEA.

 

my parents would disown me. I think my friends would be ok with it, but i am scared~

 

As my sexuality is meanless because I thought I was going to die alone.

 

My mom won't be accepting of my "lifestyle" and I don't see why it's important for my friends to know that I'm gay, it's not like I'm going to behave differently after I come out. If my friends ask, I'll come out but I'm not going to run up to them and say "I'm gay what do you think of that?", if they don't want to know then they don't have to.

 

I'm insecure and I always think people are judging me at school so that wouldn't help. I don't really have any close friends either.

I don't really want to tell my parents because I hate my dad and his sisters and mom so they don't need to know. I'm not sure how my mom would react either. I think she'd still love me, but I don't know her opinion towards gay people. When the gay pride thing was on tv my dad was like oh these gay people are so bad because there's no hope for the next generation etc

 

i never came out to my family because they don't ask and if they did i'd tell them i'm straight. why? because im pretty sure they would disown me if they knew

i haven't came out to my friends because they never bother to ask and it's not that big of a deal to them
