There are plenty of gay kids who need to hide their location from their homophobic parents.

Some parents are intensely homo/transphobic, and do not have their children's best interests at heart. It's not always about "trust".

Hence why I mentioned 'any of us'. I realise that a lot of family units have different dynamics, rules and outlook on life and each will do what suits them I guess, but I like to think, that for the time being at least, our family has an open and pretty good trust thing going on that means location awareness amongst ourselves is for the greater good.
