Re: Things you've always wondered

I was going to respond with almost exactly this. I have members of my family I am not out to - but I also have no relationship with them, so they just have no ties to my personal life. My family I am close with would be a different story. Not to mention with the internet its so much easier for the word to spread... Seriously dating and settling down with someone who wanted me to change parts of my life to keep their secret doesn't sound great.

I think the thing is, beyond even a relationship, if you want to live freely as a gay person and you don't want to tell your family, you are either going to have to distance yourself from your family or live an elaborate lie, which is very hard. You have to "rock the boat" eventually in some way. It sucks, but that's the reality of homophobia.

(That said my partner was closeted to her family for a year or so after we started dating, but she did decide to come out to them while we were dating - which I am glad for now that we are living together and we are having to figure out things like holidays and whatnot. So I think its definitely possible to date someone closeted for a while, but not long term.)
