I've got a female friend who is much the same - she's always posting LGBTQ activism stuff on her FB page, and she herself is openly pansexual (she even has the pan symbol tattooed on her arm
). I've been thinking fo a while about coming out to her as I'm sure she'll be highly supportive, I just haven't plucked up the courage to ask her for coffee yet lol. So I'm interested in other's responses to this too
As for adding her to your new FB account - I'd definitely
not do that until you're more publicly out, exactly for the reasons you stated. FB is extremely invasive and exposing because of their "everyone should be friends!" and general anti-anonymity mentality. This is why they don't allow multiple accounts and require your real name, because according to them having everyone use their real name is how they quote "keep everyone safe" (pft, yeh right!
) The only way to stay safe on line is to be anonymous, and one day I'm sure FB will learn that the hard way (and unfortunately, so will everyone who uses the platform, including us).
Anyway, rant aside, I wouldn't trust FB with keeping a secret like this any further than I could throw it. It's up to you of course, but I'd say be really really careful
