Do you have a relative that is so deep in the closet that even they themselves may not know they are gay? How old is this person? Do you think they will ever come out? Why or why not?
I have a relative who I believe moved across the country so he could be gay and not deal with his family. I don't care what he does I just think there are many more people like this than we tend to believe.

For the people who made such comments: I have no desire to talk to this relative nor do I care what or who he does, and it isn't because I think he is gay, it is because I have nothing to do with that side of the family. I also am not judging. I don't care if someone is gay. My question was "Do you have a relative in the closet?" not "I have a relative in the closet and I think it's wrong." or "I have a relative in the closet and I want to know how to force him to come out."
In any case, this person's moving away for whatever had nothing to do with me - I hadn't seen him in 15 years.

Yes, my husband's sister is very gay, I believe. I have known her 10 years and during that time she was 19-29 years old and has never been on a date but has a very good girl friend, if you know what I mean. Her family refuses to see it and I know if she came out they would disown her, with the exception of my husband of course. Her parents are very, very closed minded and so concerned with 'what would the neighbors think?" That they seem to overlook their daughter's feelings and I think it's really sad. I wish she could just feel free to be who she is but I don't know that she ever will.

NO Hunny I don't have one, but really do feel for your Relative that has had to move away because of fears of family n friends attitudes towards being Gay.
Try and talk to your relative and reassure them that its nothing to be ashamed of...We are what we are and should never be judged, and any parent that can judge their own child and be so disrespectful to how their son/daughters sexuality turns out should not be allowed to be a parent!!!!!
It doesn't make that person, that someone has made, given birth to and bought up loving, protecting and caring for, any different.
Good Luck x

yes my cousin. shes a bit odd. i mean she has lots of bfs but she always drops hints that she likes girls. i think she just doesnt want no one to really know, but wants to atleast let someone know. shes 16 i believe, and really out there! haha. i think she will come out, but like when shes older, because by then, she might mature enough and realize that it aint so big of a deal.
wow, i hope that relative didnt cause any pain!

yes I know someone like that, 22 yr female, I think when they are ready they will come out. My mother in law was also the same way, she hid it from everyone till she was like 30... she is now 50.

Considering what alot of parents and families do to people who are gay, I'm sure there are many.

You shouldn't be concerned with what people do in their own private sexual business. No one is asking you to watch and you are not the Lord who judges people. If you want to communicate with this family member do so. I think you are just looking for something to gossip about and you really should act better then that. Never concern yourself with others sexual business unless it involves something illegal.
