I hope that my story offers hope for those struggling with their sexuality.

  • @FIRINMAJLAZOR *Oh I understand now. I never came out to my parents, my friends, coworkers,etc.. I have just always been ME. Who I sleep with is my business-unless I force someone or something illegal. I don't believe in pushing my beliefs on others, yet I don't run away from stuff either. Your parents-they had hopes, dreams, etc.. that they had for you that they have to change. Doesn't mean you won't make them proud or they don't love you - THEY have to change. understandable

  • @angrymail123 I knew that highschool was gunna be terrible for me, i accepted that and it doesnt effect me that much, but when i came out to mai parents theres just something missing nao. Mai dad will barely even look at me, i feel like he doesnt even accept me as his son anymore. Mai mom doesnt do anything about it either she just goes about her day and doesnt care how bad i feel. Its so terrible that i barely ever leave mai room. I feel embarrassed to walk through my own house, i hate it...

  • @FIRINMAJLAZOR ***********I been watching the "It Gets Better" videos for a while. It does. My high school life was hell -- I had a 50 inch waist. My sexuality and other reasons had me resisting my feelings with food. Years later (I have have a 50 inch chest now - husky). Anyway, I wish I had sexuality issues back then. I was called gay etc... without any benefits. It does get better, and at 49, I wouldn't change my life for anything.

  • its just so hard.....

    Ciao Bello Grant!

    It saddens me as well that this is still occuring. I'm so glad that you've chosen to point out, to our queer (LGBT/gay) , younger brothers and sisters that some of the "angst" they feel is a part of growing up! This was something that I was far too young, to adequitely express, to a boy I had loved (Bobby Griffith/Prayers for Bobby) who ended up taking his own life! What a wonder it is to see you and many others, stand up and speak out!

    Grazie Mille

  • Some gay people have gone into ministry to try to feel accepted by God.  In other cases, it is the real thing - a call from God. I found God changed me, but not in the way I'd hoped - in a better way. I found self-acceptance.

  • great thing is..you're still young enough....that was fantastic thing to post..helpful to many young and even older people.

  • that's a sweet thing to post
