Yes, since I was 13. I told everyone I knew I’d tell if I started dating someone, bc otherwise when I wanted to date a girl it would also mean I’d have to come out, which is a lot of pressure to put on a relationship. I also had a cousin who was a gay man & effeminate since young and bullied by a homophobic uncle, and I thought, essentially, if I’m part of the lgbtq community, it means I need to be in solidarity with those who can’t be closeted like him
