Sorry to hear about that! I'm sure you're not the only person in your county that isn't straight, the others just might be afraid like you to come out. Maybe you should do more research to see if there is anywhere to meet other people like you or any support group. You probably should prepare yourself to tell family and friends at a time where you're most comfortable. I understand that it might be hard coming from the place you live so if I was you I would take it slow tell someone who's a little more accepting than others and start from there. I don't know if this helped, I kind of rambled lol but good luck! And do what you think is best and safe
i don't know i'm so scared and i don't know if i'm brave enough to come out to my parents sooner or later i don't want to die , i think i shouldn't tell them , maybe ?
Your safety is the number one. If you think you're putting yourself in danger by coming out, then it's probably best that you don't do it.
I do wish that you were living in a place that was more tolerant. I really am sorry about your situation in life, and my heart goes out to you. If there was a way that I could help you, I would.
I doubt that you are the only person who isn't straight there. I'm sure that many people keep their sexuality a secret to protect themselves. Don't feel that you are alone. If coming out could lead to your death, then maybe you shouldn't until it is less dangerous.
I am nearly 60 and the country (Ireland) where I live has changed completely. The church was able to tell the government what to do. Now the church has little or no power. When I was your age I had never heard of the terms "gay" or "homosexual". Being gay was illegal. Most gay people left the country. In my twenties I walked past a park, to work, every day where a man had been killed because he was gay. The killers were let go free because being gay was seen as provocation. Now we are about to have a referendum on marriage equality and the poles suggest it will pass - about 65% to 75% for. I have seen young men kiss each other on a busy shopping street - and nobody batted an eyelid! So there is hope that things in your country will change for the better. You are not alone. Recently I read that one of the countries that have the highest rated of accessing gay porn on the internet was Saudi Arabia!!!! But in the meantime stay safe. Big hug from all on EC (&&&)
Big hugs! But make sure, above all, that you are safe. Your life is important, and maybe, one day, things will change, and you can be out in the open.
Hi there, i'm from a gay guy from Saudi Arabia, (Jeddah specifically)... In my city, i believe that people around me aren't homophobic but only hates it for religious reasons... But i bet that you are wrong when you said it's quite rare to find LGBT people, statistics have estimated that 40% of Saudi Students in school are homosexual! My advice is keep your sexuality a secret and don't tell anyone except those whom you are deadly sure that they're homosexual (lesbian) like you! If you need any help, you can PM me anytime... Best of luck for you! ---------- Post added 27th Mar 2015 at 07:57 AM ---------- اذا تحتاجي اي مساعدة، انا تحت أمرك
