Thanks Gossamer.
I know it's hard to do so early on in accepting your sexuality, but in time you will come to relax and even play and joke casually with it.
Who knows, someday your kids might even be telling their friends about their mom and step mom and, you'll be proud as punch that they are praising you and your partner.
On another note, small towns do make it harder to keep it a secret. I live outside a small, conservative, southern town. Not that I ever hid being gay when I moved here, but I never advertised it intentionally either. Within a year everyone knew I was gay and, other locals of alternate sexuality came out of the woodwork around here. Still a conservative small town with more Baptist churches than gas stations but, not once has anyone been hateful, rude or disrespectful to me, or any of the other eight LGBT in the area.
You might be surprised when it does come out and you get "Oh, yeah Jane and Nancy are too, but you aren't supposed to know that." with a laugh.
