I really want to 'sort of' come out, but my mum thinks that I shouldn't because our town is full of biggots and homophobes. I would only come out on my myspace, by putting bisexual on the sexuality, just so someone might see it. I don't know how to convince her that I sould be able to do so, and I really don't want to do something so big without havin her agreement. Could someone please tell me something to help convince my mum? (link)

Ooh, tough one. In a situation like this, I think it's best to follow your heart. If you believe you're ready to start letting people know, and you trully believe you can deal with the occasional bigot and homophobe, then it's up to you whether or not to come out. Follow the path that YOU think is right for your own well-being, not the path your mom's telling you to go down. Just keep in mind that your mom doesn't want you to get hurt, and she's trying to protect you from the hate that the world unfortunatley does possess. Try explaining to her that you're ready, and maybe she'll understand.
Hope I helped!
