Hide or honesty?

Am I the Soviet assassin bat! Hear my mighty squeak!
Is it better to be honest about your opinions, beliefs, and lifestyle in exchange of angering others around you, or is it better to hide them and conform with society to avoid conflict? I'm at this cross road now and it sucks!

Honestly, for me, I'd probably go with honesty about 80% of the time, and on some things I've gone with secrecy because of end results that I wouldn't want to deal with. But each time, you need to look inside and decide which outcome would be easier/better for you to live with after making it.
Based on what you've said thusfar, I would have to say that moms tend to know these things, even if it's only suspicion. So chances are, she probably already knows your secret.
The key thing, is whether or not your mom feels that you are...
1. Mature enough to be making this decision
2. Safe enough to be making this decision
3. Secure enough to be making this decision
If any of those things don't measure up, she may not be willing to take that chance with her baby boy. Mind you, that's not meant in insult? We are always going to be mom's baby boy/girl, no matter what.
But if all three of those things *do* measure up, then it should be safe to tell mom what's on your mind.
