My parents basically ignore the fact that I'm gay. They aren't comfortable talking about it, so they just don't. My mom knows, my dad assumes I've "gotten over the phase" and I have to hide my gfs. I tried being with a guy, it didn't work. I just can't force myself to be something I'm not because my parents don't approve. If they don't like the fact that I'm gay...Well, too bad. I can't nor am I gonna try to change.

i adore that painting :D

[astrangeone]

@djxthexmonferno I agree. My mother keeps trying to hook me up with guys. I've come out many times, but they still refuse to listen. (LISTEN!) Please be strong.

[SuperDuperTracy]

the statistical truth is.. more people choose to stay in the closet than come out.. meaning they're are more people in the closet than out. WOW. Staggering

So this message is a little late but my pride goal was to run into you guys at San Diego pride... unfortunately I was a little bit too drunk to remember my mission. Hella pissed!

my experience was horrible when coming out.

I told my mom and she felt i literally petrayed her due to the fact that my dad cheated on her with a lesbian. (she went straight for my dad?) In the end, she wouldn't talk to me. Wouldn't let me talk to anyone, at all including my little sister. In the end, i took it all back. Just so I could feel love from her again.

I told my friends and everyone, including my partner at the time i was straight. I'm convinced i am now. Cuz it was the worst.

Yeah no kidding. My mother's fine, her sister is bisexual, but my dad's definitely not. And we live in Utah...you know...the state with the Mormon church that donated huge funds for Prop 8? It's such a pitty. Average LDS (what Mormons call themselves) are the sweetest people I've ever met but...their church tells them they can't support us. I wish I knew where there might be a safe house here but I can't seem to find any. I hope you have a safe house or something in Texas. You should look it up.

[shadowcat8]

i have the same problem...im saving up so i can move out. im in texas and have religious conservative parents so coming out to them would end really bad.

[ThatsSoMe7]

I definitely relate to Undine. I'm in the same situation. I'm sure that I couldn't financially support myself and I worry about being physically attacked if I were to come out at home. Personally, I've decided to definitely not come out until I'm out of the house and have a steady career. Beyond that...I don't know...I may never tell my family partly because I know my Dad would think I'd purposely betrayed him or live the rest of his life trying to repent for raising a gay daughter.

love looks good on you,

congrats.

we all tumble in the same direction, toward the same destination, having someone "___ ",

fill in the blank.

if your mind can't comprehend the

situation, use your heart

till you catch-up.

sorry, OT
