How To Express

[Eagle15]

Ever since I first found out about my sexuality (homo leaned bisexual) I've struggled to come to terms and accept it myself. However, it's harder to come to terms because there is no outlet for me to express my own sexuality or feelings. While normal people express themselves with Normal conventions, I can't. I live in a moderately homophobic community where jokes and slurs are common about people such as me. I have no one to express myself to whether it just be to talk about my feelings or to give them unto somebody. I myself can't come to full terms with my orientation until I can happily express myself and so I want to know how I should go along doing this or alternative ways I can express myself.

We live in a time where it's often frowned upon, it's hard but assuming you're still young when you get older it becomes less of an issue.

You can either come out, or just hold it in until you move out.

Wsit till you move somewhere where its more acceptable. Honestly it should be acceptable everywhere, but we all know some parts of the world are too narrow minded and stupid to understand where you are coming from.

Whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck.

Also there are tons of sites out there that will allow you to express your feelings without coming out in real life until you move.

Well what do you mean by express? If you mean come out, then take it slowly and carefully. If you mean flame, I'd advise against it. If that's who you are, then be you, but don't act that way because you feel you have to. People might not be the most accepting of the sudden change in your actions.

Been dealing with the same thing. It may seem like no outlet but there's resources out there. The internet, some hotlines, therapy, maybe there's a city near ya to go and be yourself now and then. The hardest thing about this is accepting your sexuality also means accepting that the people around you are wrong, hateful bigots. This alone is depressing. However when you say moderately homophobic, that makes me think maybe you are reading too much into it and by coming out they may accept and stop talking that way. Then again maybe not.

I'd suggest, wait for the perfect timing.
