funny, huh. it's neat to find something like this on the web. i think talking about what feelings i have about coming out...one of these days...is going to help along my decision. I really don't have no one to talk to about this. I'm in the south, my family are Southern Baptist and this religion sees in black and white..no rainbow colors there. That's one reason I don't go to church to much..I don't like that idea of someone telling me I'm going to hell just because i'm gay, especially when I don't think they're going to hell just because they're stupid..hahahahaha. It's tough being gay and a Child of God, a Christian.

My Mom use to always ask me, if I was gay and of course I was "oh no...don't be silly". I wish that I could of came out to her, and then coming out would be easier.

My girlfriend just came out to her family and their Pentacostal, they said that they have always know and they love her very much. The only problem her mom had was that she didn't tell her sooner. maybe that will help. I know she was scared to death to tell them because their so religious.

I am old, i am not out to family, but i am not going to either, when i find my partner, they are in for a shock, i just want to see their faces. The discomfort and embarassment will be on them.
I did tell my mum when i was 12yo and got a beating for it and i was told never to discuss it again, to find a boi. So i married a guy, did i announce i was hetro..............no, it's not expected,
so i am not going to announce i am gay either.

    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...
