Why do people need to tell everyone. I feel like that’s huge evidence that being gay isn’t accepted - you need to ‘out’ yourself to your friends and family, some of whom will judge you unfairly. It should really be that you just introduce your partner to your parents like any other heterosexual couple and that’s it

it's not like you need to. but it feels good to. it's kinda.. freeing. since, in most cases, people assume you're straight by default. also, your extended family will stop asking annoying questions about marriage and kids, lol

Just saying it kind of turns it into a circus where everyone is judging you. My extended family would think I’d be going to hell (if I were gay) so it’s not an option for a lot of people

Hello fellow gay I am also a fellow gay out to practically everyone but my family but I don't really hide it they just choose not to believe it they don't know about my relationship tho and that's because the scrutiny is not worth it

well coming out doesn't mean announcing it to the entire world. sometimes it just means telling your friends or your close family
