One of the harder parts of being in the closet and queer is... being surrounded by people who give you all the love and support in the world, they& #39;ve sacrificed so much for you to give a good life... but you know they wouldn& #39;t have if they knew.
You can tell by the way the talk about other gay family members behind their backs. That& #39;s what you have to look forward to if you try to act as your true self. All the years of love and support, and it would all be gone in an instant.
I& #39;m 21.... no one I& #39;m related to knows I& #39;m gay, let alone nonbinary... I just cant... just imagining the horrible things they would say about me... it& #39;s not worth it.
My little sister, who is under 12, recently told me the thinks shes a lesbian. Shes the only one I can truly trust because she hasn& #39;t become one of "them" yet. I have to protect her...
Some day they will find out. Even if I fuck off to the end of the earth and be my try self. And they& #39;ll not even have a thought of introspection. Just rumors and nastiness. I would just leave, but it& #39;s my sister...I need to be there for her. Its practically the only reason alive
Part of me hopes they find this thread.
