How do I hide my sexual preferance from my family?
I've met a big dilemma. You see, most of my family is homophobic and wouldn't understand the conclusion I've come to. I'm bi-sexual and in love with another girl. I told my mom and now she hates me. I don't want my entire family to be the same. How can i keep this secret from them without slipping up?

The thing is, I don't think that you should keep your secrets from your family. As hard as it is to deal with homophobic parents, they themselves need to realize that anyone can have attraction to the opposite sex- even their own child, and as a result they need to RESPECT their child for what they are. Be proud of who you are, and as much as it is hard, you are not here to please your parents or be who they want you to be. They need to accept you for who you are, regardless of the fact it may discomfort them.
Since you have told your mom your family most likely knows
if they don't know already kddping it a secret isn't the best.
if they eventually figured it out they'd be even madder than they are now because you didn't tell them
its a bad thinf to hide it because when they foind out ur gonna wish u told them... but what some of my friends did is that they didt brign gays around ther house...dont let there panrents know everything about the person that they are seeing they will say that there girlfriend is a friend
Don't hide it. Your family should love you unconditionally. Im sure they would freak out at first, but they will get over it. You cannot live your life pretending.
simply act and be yourself. No need to advertise or proclaim your feelings to the world just yet. Eventually you'll go on to College and let yourself go and be free.
Everyone now knows because you have told your mother (who isn't a very fit mother because she hates you now).
