I recently came out to five of my friends. They're all very supportive and I'm grateful and all, but the supportiveness should be coming from my parents. The only problem is, I can't tell them. I can't tell my mom because I don't trust her, because she tells everyone everything. I can't tell my dad because (and I quote) he once said: 'all gays and lesbians can fall off the face of the planet', now, I'm pretty sure I'd fall into that category. My dilemma: I can't cope with my feelings. Whenever I look at another girls butt and think 'daaannnngggg' I'm immediately horrified with myself. All I can think is, 'well, the bible says I'm damned and going to hell, so it must be true.' I just need some support, and I'm doing this without my parents knowledge soo..... Let me know if anyone can relate.

The bible is a fine piece of literature the presents a belief. But it is only a belief. What do you believe and can you muster the courage to stand by your belief. Everyone is entitled to their own belief, but no one is entitled to impose a belief on another. Is this not what ISIS is trying to do?

Thank you!!! I needed to hear that. I think I'm ready to tell my school, and if it gets to my parents, oh well.

May you have the strength and happiness all of us deserve.
