Though I have to say, I'm uncomfortable with being straight because I knew at such at an early age that it was something I had to keep secret and still do. I'm 24 now and never really 'came out' as straight, although if people ask I say I am but I still feel uncomfortable with it now... I was meant to be gay I think

Well that's why it's different for gay people.

There is still a stigma surrounding homosexuality, and sadly it's different for gay people in the fact that a lot of people try to hide it in fear of many things. Not being accepted by family/friends, retaining masculinity/femininity, etc.

I'd imagine there are loads of people who have convinced themselves otherwise that they really believe they're not Gay/Bi/Lesbian, but that's the world we live in. There's still a long way to go in terms of acceptance.

Apparently there are more Bi men not out compared to gay men, wonder why this is?

"They’re out there. They’re just not out. Recent research shows that just over a quarter of bisexual people are open about their sexuality. These days, there are probably more bi people hiding who they are than gay people.

Keeping quiet about your bisexual desires also seems pretty ****. Research conducted by gay, lesbian and bisexual charity Stonewall reveals that bi guys are more likely to have attempted suicide than gay men. They are nearly twice as likely to have self-harmed."

First of all...YAY...your mum is a fabulous woman!

I don't think so many men come out as being bi because they fear rejection from their girlfriend/wife.

My husband is bi and when he eventually plucked up the courage to tell his ex, she walked. He only felt comfortable telling me when I told him I liked bi men. His reaction was

Isn't Lee Ryan Bi? Marc bi?

well done! i've never really felt the need to 'come out' tbh, if people in my life know, then they know.

Congratulations! It takes a lot of guts to do that, especially at such a young age. I'm 23 and my parents still have no idea I'm a homo.

Are you going into sixth form after Summer? I wish I had your strength tbh.. Although, I don't believe in 'coming out' announcements, one day I'll just be open about myself, as you said.
