I've recently figured out that i'm gay. So, this is all very new to me. I've told a friend of mine and her husband. They actually took it quite well. But after I got divorced I had to move back in with my parents. I am so scared that if/when I tell them that they might kick me out. I don't really have anywhere to go. I could probably stay with my friend a night or two but that's it. I'm in the middle of researching this type of thing. I've found a couple of centers a ways away that may be able to help. I know I plan on waiting a while to tell them, but what about when I do? Please tell me what happened when you told people.
I think you'll find that most people will accept your lifestyle. Remember that it does not define you, although if influences your overall person. Don't let people stereotype you. Take time alone to understand how this affects you as a person, both positively and negatively. And be proud of yourself. There is no shame in being gay. It's not a decision, it's who you are.
if you are Christian, consider seeking more spiritual advice from your local Episcopal priest if things get rough or too much to bear. Most Episcopal churches are "welcoming and affirming" meaning they accept sexual minorities.
