i don't understand this. through your posting here, which i'm not crititcising in any way shape or form,you've shared your relationship and that it's hetero.

I don't know how you self-identify, but just by sharing your everyday life, it implies a sexual orientation. you feel fine sharing those things because you know there are other people out there who are the same way. what if you thought you were the only hetero on earth?

being out isn't necessarily about confrontation, and it's a vital thing to do. queer teens have one of the highest suicide rates of any group, because of the shame they internalize. providing counter examples and being visable saves lives...
