Welcome to Gaia! ::

Everyone, even without religion is afraid of coming out, cause they are afraid they're friends won't like them anymore, people will look at them different, and they're parents having a reaction like yours. I was afraid to come out to my dad, my mom kind of always knew, but I just told my dad one day and he accepted it alot better then I thought. He accepts my lifestyle, he just doesn't want to be around it.

Oh I see, I was just stating that as well, didn't mean to contradict you. Sorry

Well, I haven't told my parents yet... I was raised Catholic, and still go. But my dad is Evangelist >>;

A couple months ago there was a sermon about sinners, and one example was homosexuals >.> They had a thing that said, at first, try to help them. Then if they do not want your help, have nothing to do with them.
Blargh. I think if I came out to my dad, he might disown me... or since he's big in the church, tell me to keep quite about it so it doesn't ruin his reputation at the church. >.>

My mom said before that if i was gay or something that she wouldn't care... I don't think she knows... I haven't shown anything that would make her think that...

I haven't really 'come out' yet. :Ninja: The only person who has a clue is my sister. And we don't really talk about things like that. She just keeps all the yaoi..

I'm some sort of Christian but my parents raised me as ..supposedly Baptist. I think my Mom would give me a weird look and leave the room if I ever told her. She might pretend she never heard anything or just never talk about it. As for my Father.. he might end up laughing and taking it as a joke. Or he might yell at me and lecture about how I'd go to hell, since he has a lot of influence in the Baptist church they go to. o_o But I'm not really sure of his views on homosexuality since we've never spoken about that. We barely speak at all.. maybe twice a year.

My step-father would most likely be even more of a jackass, but still avoid me. And my step-mother might be upset but wouldn't freak out on me because only my Father has that right. They have that weird system going on.

If I ever DO come out to them, it'd be if I ever decide to marry.. or if I fall that deeply in love. I don't really see the point of coming out to them when it's really none of their business until that certain point. I mean, it'd be nice to know who would treat you differently when they find out who you're doing what with. <_<; But since I still have to rely on them for ..living, I'm not gonna add any awkwardness to those already awkward situations.

Truthfully, I'm much more anxious of how my siblings would react because I'm around them waaaay more than I'm around any of my parents. My brothers and step-siblings are who I'm worried about most. They have their mild gay jokes, and my step-siblings were raised much more strictly than I was. Last December I was teasing my step-brother about the possibility of him being bi-sexual/gay because he's starting to look kinda like K-popper Kangta. << My step-sister's response was "Ew, I don't want a gay brother!" And I had to respond with "I'd support him if he was gay.. because well, it's not like you're the one doing things with his lover." Then she said something about homosexuality being a sin which is written in the bible. Me, being a bad Christian asked for her to show me. We never got around to that for some reason. But then again, I wanted to see it in the original latin or hebrew even. Whatever language the original scriptures were written in. >_>;; Even if she really had showed me.. I really don't believe in the bible after watching a documentary on the History channel. e_e;

Pride: one of the seven deadly sins, is defined as taking extra steps to make ones appearance to look better then others around you. So to put it into blunt terms, if you dress up nice to impress those around you, your committing sin and your going to hell. So make sure, not to bathe, do up your hair, and whatever you do, don't dress up all pretty. Or your going to hell ~Snickers~

I havent come out yet either I'm a christian and whatever but I dont beleive loving someone of the same gender is wrong. My parents might have an idea I'm bi because when I came home from a play about 2 girls and one was a lesbian I talked about it with them they said they wouldn't hate me but they would be a little disappointed. They also said I would not be able to tell my grandparents neither set because they would hate me. I'm more afraid of my brother knowing cause he hates the fact that some people like the same gender he finds it gross and crap.

Well, I'm not Catholic as most French Canadians are. I'm not even baptised (my dad said my siter and I should choose our religions when we're old enough. I chose non xp lol)

I haven't told my family yet about being in a relationship with a girl. Although my one uncle who works where my girlfriend works finally figured it out (took about 5 months lol) and he's ok with it and promised to not say anything about it. I think my mom would be ok with it too. No idea for the rest.

I'm kind of afraid of telling my family cause even though I think most would be ok with it, it's possible some might not approve of it. And though some family members are a pain in the neck *coughsmydadcoughs*, it would still pain me to lose them over something so silly...

I'm not attracted to girls at all, but my girlfriend is the exception and I love her dearly. I might tell my mom when I go home for a few weeks this summer. We'll see >>
