I’m pretty sure I’m not straight. It’s not legal to be that here. I live in fear everyday. My parents are Muslim too so I’m sure they wouldn’t approve.
It kills me inside everyday knowing that I’m not normal. I’ve always been known as the really smart guy in the community but once my secret is out, I will always be known as the homo.
I don’t even know if my parents will want to call me their son too

Salaam. I know this will sound as an attack or mean to many people but its a fact that homosexuality is not supported in our religion. You are well aware of that so I dont have to enlighten you. Thing is, its separate from a parent’s love for you. They cant and never will hate you. I dont know how and when is the right time for you to come out but it will be alright at the end. They wont disown you. You will always be their beloved son.
You know you’re not helping, of course I know it’s not allowed. Why do you think I’m concerned in the first place. It’s hard for you to understand because you are perfectly normal and straight. But not all of us are, We didn’t get to make this choice. This is just how we are
Im bi and I’m closeted too. I am constantly afraid of coming out too my parents too. My friends and some of my peers know but no one from my family. One thing i kind of am picking up from your post tho is that you don’t kind of accept it yourself yet and i think you can start there. Homosexuality does not make you abnormal. And one thing that really sucks is that it is not going away. Ever. Our sexuality isn’t our choice. As for your parents, I will be honest with you, there might be chances they don’t accept you, but it isn’t always that bad. There are stories where parents have accepted their child no matter what. And the society is comparatively different than it was maybe even 10 years ago. A lot more people are acceptable of the lgbtq community. But all this is for later. I think the first step shld be figuring yourself out and accepting that it isn’t going anywhere else. Your acceptance matters more than anyone else’s.
I’m trying to accept it but it’s been difficult. I can’t stop thinking about all the consequences that will happen if society ever found out. I have tried coming out to some of my friends. Some were incredibly supportive and some started behaving extremely weirdly and stopped talking to me entirely.
Nevertheless, I am trying to accept myself for who I am. Someday hopefully I’ll get there
Yes I’m sure you will. As difficult as it seems right now, trust me it gets better. And if people cannot accept you it’s their loss, not yours.
That is actually very wise, thank you. I wouldn’t even want to be in contact with such people anyway
Yes exactly!
