Coming Out Support Group
This community is dedicated to the challenges that gay men and lesbian women face, both between the partners in a relationship and from other influences (family, society, etc.). Find support and talk to others who may be facing the same challenges, and share your experience.
Yeah...I just came out to my parents. They are saying I can't be a Christian and be a lesbian. I dont' think so. I think this is the way God made me, and i've prayed about it for a while, and i've come to my own decision. Not the decision of my friends at school, or the decision of my parents.
I told them that.
They are saying that I am just confused and it's just a phase, that they can show me scripture of where it's wrong. I say that the scripture is misinterperited. They also said, basicly, that since I was so young I had no sexual desire. (i'm 15. I'd say that's not that young.) and that the medication i'm on (for depression) reduces your sexual appitite, so I couldn't possibly have any feelings for other girls, that is was just emotional. That it was normal to want to have a deep relationship with other girls, just not a sexual one.
Well. theyve taught me that any sexual feelins are BAD and therefore should be hidden at all costs, so no wonder it apears that I have no sex drive.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

congrats on that.
and im sorry that they arent supportive, but keep doing what your doin hunn. =)
Your parents should be supportive no matter what. They should allow you to make your own mistakes. If they are mistakes that is.
Kudos on stepping up and telling them how you feel. Good job!
True christians don't judge, they leave it to god. Hopefully they know that.
Hope that helped, let me know.
