I'm afraid to come out to my mom, not because I think she'll judge me, but because I'm afraid of being placed under stereotypes. When I got my hair cut in november, she goes, "Is this your way of coming out of the closet?" I know that if I come out now she'll just think it's a phase because I cut my hair or vise versa. Same goes for all the other people around me, too. They all made the same lesbian comments and I'm just such a coward that I can't do it. I know they wont care that I'm gay, I'm just afraid of the stereotypes and not being taken seriously.
