Are you connected to any guild? I'm curious since I think your username is a mule, no? It's a wonderful thread, I love how the front page is jam packed with information. I'm all for more support threads~!

Not at all. I couldn't believe that the username was available. I just got it today. Go figure.

Lucky, then? I'm glad there is this thread, so I'll be sure to stick around. There is also something I have to get of my chest. Recently I went to this religious thing called, "Ya Tech" Young adult, something something, was very good and memorizes stuff like that. Anywho, I was split up with a group of people and we some how ended up talking about homosexuality. In which I kept my mouth glued shut, I'm straight, but the way these people where talking about how homosexuality was....I was scared that they were going to rip me into little shreds. I then told my boyfriend and my friend about this, and then they got upset with me for not saying anything.

I'm curious how people deal with religion and their sexuality..

That's really scary to me. Did you wind up going back?

I've met religious gays before. There's actually a gay Catholic group, I think they're linked in the last post of the thread, and their FAQ is really interesting. It helped me get it a little more. They talked about Bible quote translations and...stuff. Anyone in here religious?

Ya Tech is like this religious camp get away. They take away the clocks, and they take away your phones, ipods, etc. The people around you, paper, pen/etc, book, flash light, and clothing is all your allowed to have and the food they provided for you. I haven't gone to any religious thing since then, but I haven't seen my boyfriend or be in that town since Ya Tech, so I'd have to say no.

I think all check that out. I'm not religious but I am interested in a type of religion.

I was raised Catholic but I don't believe in anything anymore really. I never liked going to church growing up though, initially because it was boring, later because I thought it was full of crap, and after I figured out I was gay I just felt awkward being there. :l

I'm hardly religious and the stuff I would practice is claimed to "devil worshiping" etc. I'm happy my Mother didn't dunk me in water. There are many things I don't agree with that I have to deal with because of the one I love and the people around me.

Did you come out to anyone in the church?

I never had any real interaction with my church aside from sitting through Mass. So no. Also, I can't come out to anyone who may have contact with my parents, because I have to remain closeted or else my mom would bring down hell.

Hi. I'm Diane. I'm 21, a lesbian.

Good job on the thread! I'll definitely try to stop by and see if I can help keep it going.

As to coming to terms with your sexuality, I was 19 when I finally went "You know you like girls. You're going to have to deal with it sometime. Do it now!" so I did. Thinking back, I had been having gay thoughts since I was about 12, and putting myself in the role of "the one who gets the girl" in my little fantasy make-believe games since I was really young. But I had a long period of denial because I was comfortable with homosexuality in others, but in myself. It's hardest to accept it when you're the one who has to deal with any discrimination etc from it.

I then came out to my close friends (most of whom are/were not-straight) within a month of coming out to myself, and to my parents within six months.

I now have a girlfriend who I am very happy with (been together for 6 months) and my family knows and likes her. So I guess my "coming out" story has a happy ending.

Hi, Diane! Welcome to the thread. <3 Your story's really cool; I'm pretty jealous. How'd you meet your girlfriend?

We went to college together. We were close friends (and cuddle buddies, but it was quite platonic for a while...) for about a year before either of us started having any romantic feelings towards the other. Apparently our friend group all knew she had a crush on me and were all plotting to help get us together. It worked.

I'm sorry to hear that, I really don't know how that is like. I do know what is like to have your mother ask if you are lesbian and that its okay. Since when I was little she caught me experimenting. Which I should have never done. >____<

So true on it being easier in college. In HS there were a total of zero out people. Then in college suddenly there were groups of proud non-straight (Question: is queer the proper word? I've always been bad at terminology) people.

Aww, that's so cute! <3 I think my heart just squee'd a little.

@ College discussion: I'm excited to go to college. I'm not there yet, but I think it'll be easier to get out of the closet there than at home. Although most people get it on some level; I trip gaydars.

teehee. Thanks. It was/is pretty ridiculously cute. She's pretty much one of the most adorable people I've ever met (all children who are cute due to their being children are discounted from this) and I suspect I'm more adorable around her. Definitely adoring.

Now you've got me all smiley thinking about her. whee

There's a GSA at my school and assorted gay kids, but I'm not romantically compatible with any of the other homosexually inclined females at my school. They're more of the scary bulldyke types, and my personality is closer to a flaming gay guy's, haha. Plus there's that whole "interests" thing that has to come into play....example, I really need someone who can understand/relate to my interest in music...because that's pretty much the highlight of my existence. High school band geek yesssssss.

I do know about some gay guys acting 'sraight' my friend was the last person I exspected to come out but he did hes also one of my close friends he is the one who craeted this support at our school. So I have two gay guy friends and one lesbian friend too shes awsome. She literally is my BEST FRIEND but people mistake her for a boy all the time for how she dresses. and her hair but her personality is girly she very out going and...unique Most would call her random....very random. I support gays because I want all my friends to get married and have rights. Not be hated too.
