No,it is not wrong to hide your orientation. If you feel as if it should be hidden then go ahead and hide it. Sometimes it is better if you hide it until you're ready to let everyone know about it. A lot of people hide their orientation because they feel embarrased or simply because they dont know how to handle all that drama that comes with it. But, if you seriously have TRUE family and friends they will understand and accept you no matter what is your orientation. You are who you are and no one should try to change that. Good luck with that...

That depends on a lot of factors.
Look at Lance Bass - he hid his homosexuality from the public because he knew it could destroy NSync. I'm not an NSync fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I will say that he did the right thing for the other members of the group - he knew that coming out might ruin their lives or careers (or both?) as much as it would lift the burden off of his shoulders.
Sometimes hiding your sexuality is wrong. Sometimes it isn't. There are so many factors involved that no amount of Y!Answerers could ever replace your own best judgment.

I think most people hide it from the people they know because they are afraid to be rejected for who they are.
But now-a-days orientation is taking on new meaning. So many girls are becoming bisexual for the fact that they can say they are and get more attention from guys. I know alot of girls like this and it just aggrivates me. But also, more people are open about their oritentations online than they are in person.
But I don't think it's necessarily wrong, because everyone has their reasons for doing it. But I'm sure in time someone is going to find out or they'll end up telling someone because they just can't hold it in any longer.

That's a hard question because it's such an individual decsion how "out" you are. Only you have to deal with the repercussions of being gay and "out" at work, home, public, etc.
Is it wrong? No. But does it help other people of the same orientation if we all hide who we fundamentally are? No.

It depends on who you are hiding it from and for what reasons. I tried to hide it from my parents for a while because I thought they would be disappointed, but you can't hide anything from mothers, and when they realize it, they will tell the father. I told my sister because I knew she was younger and saw it everyday in school, and she would understand. After my parents let me know that they knew, I really didn't care who else knew, because my family is all that really matters!

It depends. If your in a situation where you have to be a certain orienration, or die: lie. Life's too important to lose, unless you're an idiot.
Otherwise, no. One's orientations are crucial for others, and yourself, to like and appreciate you!
But why listen to me? I'm just a 14-year-old girl...

Yes, I do. And if you feel physically unsafe, work out or carry a gun. Period. I've seen more than one bewildered, bleeding straight boy face looking up at me from the floor after he said something unsavory. They run and cry too, ashamed that a homo kicked their asses. They're all p*ssies at heart, so learn how to break a guy's nose and you won't have many occasions to pull that firearm.
The more gay/bi people that are visible, proud, and not taking sh*t from breeders, the less problems we will have in society. In other words, they victimize you because you *let* them.

You only get to live this life once, so be true to yourself. Of course, there might be some situations where you can make your life easier by not being completely forthcoming with such information, but if it comes down to meeting someone you are attracted to or being around friends, you need to be honest & just be yourself. Real friends will love you no matter what. Good luck. :)

No, because although you might be comfortable with yourself, other people might not be. Just because they dont know doesnt mean you change at all. You should tell Close friends and family if you think it wont make them act different towards you, either that or get a new set of friends. If you want to tell then just be yourself and if other people have a problem with it then oh well, its their problem not yours. But dont tell people at work, its not their business.

Not at all. It may be 2006 but views towards gays is still in the 1960's in some areas of the country.
