I'm 18, and going into my senior year.
I've known that I was gay since year 2, and haven't done much about it.
I have an incredibly homophobic family, but the school and the general community where I live is accepting.
I'm looking for advice on if I should come out or not.
On one hand, it'd be nice to tell people and tell the "truth" to people.
But on the other hand, I am terrified of what my family would do, and I'm scared everybody would just think of me as "that gay guy" instead of who I am as a person.
I have a decent savings account, but it's not nearly enough to move out on a moments notice.
I know this isn't /adv/ but it would still be nice to get some advice nonetheless.

Only come out if you have an escape plan. Also what's the point unless you have a bf and when you're so close to uni?
Well lad, you are going to have to come out eventually. And when you are pursuing a relationship with another man, people are going to find out. So you will have to cross the bridge or just lie and push yourself further and further into the closet and be really miserable.
My advice to you is to tell people you are gay when it feels appropriate, and to drop it on them nonchalantly so it's not a big deal. Just remember that you are gonna have to do it at some point, and it is never going to be easy. May as well do it now and then you won't have to worry about hiding yourself.

I had the same thought myself, and I'll probably keep it to myself, even though it would feel great to tell my close friends.

Let me guess.
Are you worried that they will think that you are the bottom because your bf is taller than you?
Did your mother find a dildo in your room?
Do you have a feminine ass?

Basically 100% this is meme, but I'll answer it because why the fuck not.
They don't know I'm gay, I'd probably be kicked out if they did.
No, I hide that shit.
Idk man wtf do you want from me.
