I grew Christian too, I still believe in Jesus but its more like a one on one meeting, not webbinar with parents, community, etc etc. My brother out me back in august... parents still wont accept me but that’s ok... its on them so, it gets better I PROMISE! Just remember to love yourself before anyone else 💛💛💛
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts! It’s been a very terrible Christmas. Devastated how this turned out. I suppose it’s time for me to accept myself for who I am.
OP: It is never too late to be who you are. I wish you the very best in the journey ahead.
I hope your parents were welcoming of who you are. If not, give them some time to process the news.
Qchristian.org was a great resource for me in that time—the forums there and people I met at local meetups were super awesome in helping me become more comfortable in my identity. My mother was pretty cool, after she asked me if I had AIDS LOL. My father said some pretty unpleasant things. That was 10 years ago. Today, I am on the Board of my church whose tag line is “come as you are.” My husband of 5 years and I just welcomed the birth of our son last month and we all celebrated with grandma and grandpa who are so proud. Life changes, people change. Not always, but with more regularity than you expect. I really feel I am living my best life, and I have received the inheritance God has promised to those who keep the faith—straight or not... Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
I’m sorry he did that to you. Not fair to come out on someone else’s terms and timetable.
It may seem terrible now, but this is the first step of the rest of your life being who you are ♥️
I'm so sorry your brother did that to you. I am Catholic, but my sexual orientation was always in the back of my head when I was once a practicing Catholic. I'm not a practicing Catholic anymore so idk if it's my place to say this, but God made you the way you are, your special orientation included. It was not a mistake; you are not a mistake. You should love who you love, and your family or religion should not dissuade you from doing so
Getting help as in I’m talking to a therapist regularly. I had a traumatic past, and sometimes I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
I suppose I’m still in denial regarding my sexuality, and I didn’t want to hurt my parents by coming out. But here we are.
You’re not alone - you have us :)
Let me tell you, I’ve been out for 10 years now, and seriously it’s been such a blessing for me. I LOVE being gay the perks that come with it. You’ll love it too.
In a nutshell, if you go by Christian teachings, your family/society is the party at fault. Acc to the bible: God created mankind to his image, God has no gender, God does not make mistakes, nobody should judge others (those who have no sin throw the first stone), love thy neighbor like you love thyself... i mean, you get the gist.
Angry outburst, and it’s ruined my relationship w/ them and him. I’m devastated.
You’ll look back at this 5 years later, and all of this will be water under the bridge. Use this as an opportunity to be honest to yourself and them. You have only one life, take advantage on how God has made you.
