I feel like I'm gradually going back in the closet. I don't know why, but recently, I've started to feel like everything about this, my sexual orientation, should be internal. Is this normal? Is it selfish, or rude? I'm not sure. I guess I'm mostly just worried about being bullied. Help?

It isn't selfish, hon. It's your sexuality. No one should make you feel like you need to hide it, but you shouldn't feel pressured to share it either. It's up to you, and choosing to remain quiet about it isn't rude. What do you think is causing this change?

27 days late...

I can believe that you are sometimes unaware of how rude you are, so I'll let you know that your comment was uncalled-for and disrespectful. Since you're not interested in seeking out my help and because I don't feel comfortable with you in this thread, I'd appreciate it if you left.

My advise is for people to read the OP's instructions. I will report comments that bash anyone or goes OT in this thread.

This still stands. And I have.

Thanks Rebecca, Well, I think the main thing was when I came out my mom, it was actually an accident, but she wasn't very accepting. I guess that's just how Pentecostals are: annoying bigoted snake-speakers. Teehee. I love my snake-speaking.

Again, sexuality is complicated and it might take you a while to figure out what yours is and how you want to label yourself. I've gone through plenty of labels. (I thought I was bisexual, then pansexual, then gay/a lesbian, until I finally realized that "homoromantic pansexual" describes me perfectly.) Here is a list of labels: heterosexual/straight- a person physically attracted to members of the opposite s-x homosexual- a person physically attracted to members of the same s-x gay- the same as homosexual, originally used only for males, but females use it too lesbian- a female homosexual bisexual- a person physically attracted to males and females hetero-flexible- predominantly straight but with a slight attraction to the same s-x homo-flexible- predominantly gay but with a slight attraction to the opposite s-x pansexual- a person who is physically attracted to people, regardless of their s-x (and gender identity) queer- an umbrella term, meaning anyone who isn't straight, heteronormative, or cisgendered (queer has and is still occasionally used as an insult, for the most part, it's been reclaimed) asexual/nonsexual- someone who is not physically attracted to anyone or is not interested in being intimate (warning: that's not a perfect definition, some asexuals/nonsexuals define themselves differently) hetero-romantic- someone who is romantically attracted to members of the opposite s-x homo-romantic- someone who is romantically attracted to members of the same s-x bi-romantic- someone who is romantically attracted to males and females pan-romantic- attracted to all s-xes romantically aromantic- someone who doesn't have romantic attraction to anyone transgendered- someone whose gender identity doesn't match their biological s-x cisgendered- someone whose gender identity matches their biological s-x genderqueer- an umbrella term for people who don't identify as being (only) male or female mentally bigender- someone who identifies as being both male and female mentally pangender- someone who identifies as being all genders mentally genderfluid- someone whose gender changes genderless/agender- someone without a gender thirdgender- someone genderless, a mix of male and female, or doesn't name their gender trigender- someone who identifies as being male, female, and thirdgender two-spirit- American Indians who fulfill one of many mixed gender roles There are more labels, so I'll edit this list in the future.

Thats a lot more than I thought there were
