I am about your age and it was not that long ago that I was in high school and had a gay fling of my own, I’m bi not gay. When dealing with a secret like this that you think is going to come out you have two options in my mind. You either get enough leverage against the people that can blow your cover that if they chose to burn you, you can burn them worse. Mutual assured destruction, if you go down then they go down. Or you go with damage control and make it no longer a secret. Trust me it is a lot better if you have control over who finds out when. Now I do live in a farley liberal state so I don’t have experience with real bigotry but this is what I found to be true.
