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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
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.
