Maybe it's internalized homophobia but I don't like introducing my partner to my friends or family. It's like my food touching, idk. Feels the same as bringing college friends around my hometown friends. Just not right. And a little embarrassing.

Brother it’s not homophobia. Stop giving yourself superficial superlatives. You’re allowed to dictate your own life and how you want to live it without it being this weird internalized “bad thing” Like nah fam you’re a good guy. Don’t beat yourself up

Nah cause if your gay that’s fine, especially when you don’t know how your family would react. If there’s a slight chance of homophobia itd be better to keep em separated till like the one year mark or smtn. Just talk about your partner first to your fam on call and talk about how awesome they are without using gender, that way when they know your fam at least knows how awesome they are

i’m also gay and don’t have any desire to introduce a partner to my family, not because i feel shame for being gay (which would be an internalized homophobia situation) but because that’s just not something i want to do. i think that is okay
