i’m new on here and really need someone to talk to
hello peeps
my name is Moss and i am in need of some advice and a listening ear. I have recently sorted out my sexuality after years of questioning and confusion. I’ve always been attracted to girls and boys, but i though that the attraction was normal, or just thinking girls were pretty.
I remember saying things like, “if I was a boy, I’d totally date you.” To my female friends.
this would all be fine and good, but my family and my partner are all very homophobic.
I have been getting advice on other platforms that tell me to lose my partner, but I’ve been with them for two years and they have been super kind and understanding about my family and mental health. I do genuinely love my partner and I can just leave them…
they would want an explanation. But if I explain I risk being outed. My partner is my mentor’s brother as well. I would lose my entire friend group, a loving partner, and my family. I need some advice

Honestly Im nonbinary and bi and I completly get it :( For me I only outed myself to 2 of my siblings bc i know they are supportive of LGBTQ+ and will not tell anyone. It’s too risky. Ask them that you want to invite a friend (u made up in ur head) who is queer would they be ok with that? If not, then don’t out yourself. Wait until you completely accept yourself, have a supportive family/friend to move in their house or a car, an apartement, food, money, etc get ready for the worst if you come out and they disown you. It’s a harsh reality for ppl like us. Also haha the i would date u if i was a boy was also me 😂 very gay
Definitely dont explain it if your not ready for being disowned and having to survive on ur own
Im open for Dm’s
