Sometimes who we really are inside is something and someone that we don't think, or we even know, our parents and family won't easily accept. And when we test it, to see what they think about that person we know inside that we are, they fail the tests. What do we do then? How long should we keep a secret about who we are, especially from the people who we need and expect to support us no matter what, to love us unconditionally. Acceptance from them means everything.

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, homosexual, keeping a secret, staying in the closet, all can be so hard to live with when your parents don't know. Fear of losing your family can cause incredible anxiety and depression.

Savannah knows herself, and knows who she is inside, but coming out to her family scares her terribly. They are not very accepting people, and they have said out loud that they don't believe it is right to be LGBTQ, and so Savannah is scared that they will hate her or even disown her when she shares the truth about herself with them. She does not want to lose her family because of her sexual preference or identity.
