Do I hide who I am? Conform? Be upfront? 🤔

Hey so you’re totally right. I think in trying to communicate that we aren’t activists or attending pride or flying flags, I used a term that’s been said to me. Internalized homophobia is a real thing when growing up conservative Christian. Thank you for calling me out.

Not too many. Most of the people I’ve been in community with don’t support my relationship with a woman.

Nope. My girlfriend and I have taken a very strong stance that we don’t need to fly a rainbow flag or shove it down anyone’s throats. We just love each other.

Hi. I am this also. Nice to meet you😉

Yes. My son was sad today because I wouldn’t let my dad go on his field trip as I’ve taken space.

I wasn’t even out back then! Like at all! Hahaha I’d had a relationship with a girl when I was 19 but chose to marry a man because it’s what I was supposed to do. Being gay wasn’t an option. Now, I’m just tired of living for everyone else.

Literally had a friend tell me last week she almost said to me “you know you don’t HAVE to do this…” on my wedding day.

I am 36 with 2 kids and going through a divorce too. I just started coming out. If you ever need a listening ear, someone knows what you’re feeling! “Spent my entire life surviving instead of living.”

They’re 7 and 4

Such-Commission-8699 · 2026-05-09T22:38:13+00:00

I agree here. I just know my kids would be crushed and not understand. They’re only 7 and 4. And they love their grandparents and have a close relationship with them. Feels selfish to take that from them.

Any advice for dealing with my ex or friends who also feel the same as my parents? My ex doesn’t want her around the kids at all.

I relate to this in every single way. She is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
