Not telling the truth

[Ingz]

I've really never had that problem. I didn't hide it at all after I realized myself that I'm a lesbian.
But I do know quite a lot about "closets". They tend to be really clear about their opinions on gay people, although that's mostly when they're having an internal fight with themselves about being gay. They'll say that gay people are disgusting and so on, mostly to convince themselves that they can't be gay.
Also, if people lie about themselves, they tend to get very defensive and be overly clear about things.

As for your question about whether people will give you looks, it mostly depends on the people themselves. In my country it's not an issue, almost nobody cares. Actually, a guy I consider to be as a family to me, is a neo-natzi, and his best friend is gay. So yeah, Iceland is extremely gay-friendly. Gay-pride is also even bigger than the national day. About 60-80 thousand people attend the Gay-pride parade here, while about 40 thousand people attend the national day celebration. For a nation that only has about 320 thousand people, it's quite a lot. But I have no idea what it's like where you live, so I can't answer your question.
