I feel rejected.. - January 2nd 2012, 03:20 AM

So lately my dad's been going on about how awful gays apparently are and all this crap. He basically has made it so that either I can be a Christian or I can be who I am (he thinks I'm bi, because I used to think I was, but now I've figured out I'm lesbian and can't tell my parents). He told me it had been a choice, maybe a subconscious choice, but it was still a choice I'd made based on my influences. I'm almost scared that he's right, and I just don't know what to do.. I just want to leave this house. I want to get away, but I can't because I'm only fifteen..

First, even though he knows that you're bi he dosen't know that your gay so you should tell him. There's a big difference in the two of those. Some people, like your dad, do think gays are awful. It would be almost impossible to convince them otherwise unless you can do it just right. Some Christians are gay so don't feel bad. You obviously can't run away from your house. That wouldn't solve anything, just make it worse. That's really a "catch 22" there. If you tell them they wouldn't treat you like they have been or with any respect. If you don't you wouldn't be acting like who you really are. If I were you I would come out of the closet only to your friends. Don't tell your parents anything about it. This could make things alot easier for you, since your friends know, they will probably be accepting. Your parents won't notice a difference since they already think that you're bi.

I kind of implied it in a conversation, and my mum knows, but now it's just worse. She's also telling me I can't be a Christian and be homosexual.. She thinks I'll be going to hell, which I really don't want. I know this is a stupid, pointless question, but can I somehow undo all of these feelings and make myself normal? Because I'm sick of living like this and I don't know that I can take it.

Your father is not making this easier. But keep your head up! It's who you are, and who you are is very special. Don't let this get you down. Keep your head up <3


Some things are beautiful because they are un-obtainable <3
