Am I the only one who doesn't feel the need to 'come out' to family?

I feel like my sexuality is my own business and my family will just have to find out when I bring home a boyfriend(if that ever happens) Part of the reason is fear that my family will not accept it but most of it is just because I like to keep things like that private. I plan on being open about my sexuality when I get to college, but for now, being at a religious school, I am completely okay with being in the closet. Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

Just be honest about your reasons. You started off the post saying you don't really see any reason to do it-- but then you listed a whole lot of reasons you shouldn't do it.

If it's not manageable right now with your level of independence and being in a religious environment and still in school, and you don't know how your family is going to take it, it's perfectly fine to keep it to yourself until you are ready and comfortable. Just always be honest with yourself about why you are in the closet. You aren't doing it because "there's no reason to come out."
