    So, after coming out to those most important to me 2 months ago, I have started to become more self-confident in my sexuality. I am ready to come out, but my mother is desperately begging me to "hide my secret". Since I practically live in school now, I don't have to deal with her nearly as much as I did during the summer. Tomorrow is national coming out day, and I want to post a picture of the gay pride flag with the 2 female symbols in the middle. I only let people who I actually talk to follow me on instagram, so it wouldn't be like people who could taunt me would find out directly. Most of the people I know are very accepting, so my only worry is for my mother. If she finds out that I did this I would be screwed. Should I take the plunge or not?
