Wow. I guess it's because I've always known I'm gay and came out so late in life that the line between a lie and the truth became very fuzzy. Mostly I was lying by omission. I hadn't come to grips with what being gay means so I thought that it was a bad thing and didn't want to get hurt or disappoint anyone. I still lie by omission regarding being gay when I feel the situation isn't safe, but that rarely happens.
As far as lying that has nothing to do with being gay, that is a hard one. I don't like to hurt people's feelings, so if they ask me about an outfit or something trivial like that, I tell them it's perfect. I don't see it as a lie though since it is their insecurity and doubt talking and they just need a little pep talk. After all, if they believe their makeup is perfect, they project that it is and that's all that matters.
Big fat lies I try to stay away from since it just makes it hard to keep your story straight.
