Why would I hide it? So I don't get made fun of, so I don't have people beat me, so I don't have to lose friends and family. But I'm not afraid to show it. I kinda figure that if people really want to treat me as an outcast, then they aren't worth my time.
I don't worry about being accepted. I've always had acceptance problems. But some people want acceptance so they can live life normally like any straight couple.
But the thing is, society demands that it has to approve of certain things. That reason fuels most of what we do.
