We often talk about how being in the closet is by no means the same thing as lying, which is absolutely true. But it’s also important to remember that it’s completely ok to lie if that’s what you need to do to keep yourself in the closet/safe. Whether it’s about how you identify, your s/o, who you hang out with or anything that can help you stay safe, you aren’t a bad person for lying and no one should make you feel guilty or shameful for it.
