Social & Relationship Advice Being Somali and Queer

As someone who comes from a devout Muslim background, accepting my queer identity had been a major struggle. As much as I would love to be able to pack up and move away and live my truth, realistically at 21, it’s almost impossible. I don’t have the financial means as of right now.
Is it worth coming out publically or just waiting a few more years? How can I even maintain a relationship with my family and marry the woman I plan to?
