Also a lot of it has to do with my religious/moral background too, you know, if you are taught something is bad your whole life then it is hard to even imagine breaking away from it.
Yeah, I agree. And a lot of it has to do with the individual as well, like their personality and how they take criticism and other people's views of them. I have two other brothers. I am Catholic, one's brother athesist, and another's agnostic. My brother that's an athesist is also gay. He hasn't told anybody in the family and the only reason I know about it is because I found his school website on google and read his online journal. I know he's having a tough time right now and I am waiting for him to confess to me or thinking of how to bring it up. I think because of how religious my parents are, he will disappoint them further, but he needs to realize that my parents and his siblings will support him no matter what.
