I have, however, decided not to let fear rule my life - although not coming out to your homophobic family is just as valid. My family still doesn’t know I’m a lesbian, and - quite frankly - I was hesitant to write this for that reason.
First I came out to myself, then to my friends. It wasn’t until months later that I realized I was a lesbian. Within my first few weeks at Trinity, I realized I didn’t feel any pressure to like men, so I didn’t.
