Hey I recently got a form to fill in that asked me to mark my sexuality I was filling it in with my Mum so I didn't know what to put eventually I put straight to avoid coming out to her before I'm ready but now I'm thinking am I just hiding behind "I haven't come out yet." I thought I had accepted that I'm gay but I don't know maybe I haven't quite accepted it yet. Did you go through anything like this?
Well, when I was filling out my college application, I had to put my sexuality down. It was kind of awkward when my mom and dad were behind me, and I wanted to click "gay" really bad, but I'm not sure why they would ask for that. Minority scholarships? I don't know. I had to put straight because I haven't come out all the way yet. It's not about shame, it's more about protecting the fact that you haven't come out, and it's okay. You can wait.
you probably are ashamed. I know I was, until I saw how great the LGBT community was. I am still not out to my parents because they would be ashamed of me. maybe its not that you are ashamed of being gay, but your scared you might inflict shame on your mother at that moment. because I feel that way. who knows I could be completely wrong.
