"When i was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away my childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up". - C.S Lewis
^ This. I made the mistake of telling a co-worker that I listened to metal and he always razzed me for listening to 'devil music' and how wrong I was. I don't count that as bullying but rather, being a total pest. I am easily annoyed by crap like that.

Good quote bro Anyways, I don't tell people my business for the same reason I don't ask others. There's really no reason why anyone needs to "come out" with something like this if they don't want to.
Breaking societal norms always leads you to being labelled stigmatic by those who mindlessly fall in line. That's why they hate us. Especially since some relate to and identify with us. It's not shame if you acknowledge the triviality of it. It's strategic.
