I was very suicidal as a result, avoided talking to my parents about anything because I thought they’d see me as a freak or, at best, be incredibly disappointed and shamed by me. I grew up in Greece in the ‘80s and ‘90s and knew I wasn’t like cisgender heterosexual people, but thought I was the only person like that since I’d never heard of people who went straight and cis. You are doing your children a disservice by hiding LGBTQ+ content from them.
