The right way to be in a relationship is not to hide it. Be proud of who you are and who you love. I'm proud of you. Be the best, most honest living person you can. Hiding it will only tear you apart inside.

Until you reach the point where you are self-sufficient, you can choose very careful the times and places where you are seen with the other person. It also helps if there are other folks around so that you can claim it is a "group date." I'm certainly not saying that all relationships should be hidden - far from it. But when your very livelihood and safety may depend on keeping things secret, by all means continue to do so. I have far too many friends who were turned out of their houses at 16 (or less!) for being LGBT.

You explain your closeness as the closeness of 2 female friends destined to be BEST friends. And remember, deny deny and deny if you must until later, when you'll be free and able to love without deception. Good luck.

Don't hide it unless you have to. Reasons why you might need to hide it are if you live with your parents who might kick you out, at work, you might be fired (which is illegal but happens anyway), if you are in physical danger if someone finds out, etc. It is nothing to be ashamed of and nothing that you should hide if you are in a place where you don't have to (if none of the above things are true). A lot of people don't agree with it but a lot of people accept it and will love you just as much as they would have otherwise.
