Coming Out: The Thread (Continued)

[Darkwing]

I'm in the beginnings of a long-distance relationship with a fellow FAFer, and I often find myself thinking about it a lot. It's also quite obvious to my family that I am thinking about things, and they always pipe up and ask "what's on your mind?" I tell them nothing, and it kinda hurts. They once told me that they'd still love me if I were gay (back on my birthday) but I just cannot bring myself to believe them. They seem so confident in the knowledge that I'm straight, anyway. Hell, it's almost as if they're trying to make me NOT gay, by pointing out pretty girls and joking about other gays seen on the street, etc. Stop doing that, family. It's a pain.

It also makes me wonder what my SO feels, I worry about him. It just sucks too much having to live a lie. It sucks for me and others, so naturally it does for him. It's a struggle for me and others, so him, too. I can't wait until I can finally stop doing so, and be honest with everyone around me. I'm sure that like other people and I, he feels the same. Mesad.

I'm in the same spot as you Gibs, I can relate to that X.X

I've been in a LDR with my boyfriend for 2 months now, me and him have already been through a LOT with our parents, because occasionally, some words slipped out about our relationship and causes a HUGE shitstorm in the family and stuff x.x I already know my mom does not approve of gays or of my relationship.

It breaks me so much that I am something my mom heavily disapproves of. It feels like I'm living a big lie, and sometimes things get so nervous and tense with my family that I get little mini-panic attacks thinking about how much I'm hiding from my family, and what the consequences may be if word gets out of who I really am.

It's hard, just really hard. Gibs, at least you know your family approves of your sexuality, my family does not, and it's making me a big, nervous wreak hiding my whole life from them.

Wow, i cant believe there is 85 pages of people comming out. Lol, im new to this but when i read up on the wikipedia page they said that the gay community is only slightly higher than normal, ive never seen so many in one place (not that theres anything wrong with that). Back on topic, luckily ive never needed to do this, cause im straight =P

I like browsing Bad Dragon myself...

ANYWHOM..

I am having an issue with openly saying I'm bisexual, not because it is embarasing, but because there have been.. Projectiles.. Cast at 3100 miles per hour at bisexual people here before. Another issue is the fact everyone here is very much so relegious. Whilst my relegion allows homo and bisexuality, we only account for 1% of the population. I've assumed by now my freinds know I am bi, mainly because my ass is apparently "really tight".. And I can't help but be a bit fruity now and then. So basicly my issue is: gun toatin' hillbillies, and my bible slinging parents.

It's more than 1% of the population. Those are just 'out' bisexuals. Clearly most spend their entire lives in the closet. That's what the 'down-low' and the 'SMSM' communities are, basically. They present themselves as straight while keeping all the same-sex stuff under the table.

I suspect the religious conservatives that think homosexuality is a choice are probably closet bi as well... it would explain why it seems like a choice for them.

[Flarei]

No no, you don't quite understand. I, and three other represent our relegion. That is 1%. The relegious of Christiantiy consider I, and my other three members, shunned. It is rather funny as well. But anywhom, my issue is my insane mother and stepfather. Not exactly the general population.

[Spatel]

I'm confused what you're saying. Are you saying Christianity is rare in your country, or that among those that you know, your sexuality is rare?

I came out last year, and it feels good to have it off my chest now. Still searching for a dang partner still. Who knew it'd be this hard to find someone to relate to? :S

[Cain]

Rewind: *makes VCR noises*

I am from Arkansas. I am one of two known bisexuals in town. Everyone but three freinds and I are Christian. My freinds and I are Hectorists. (A relegion we formed.) I am trying to tell my Christoan parents I am bi without getting hung by the town posse.

I am a minority in Arkansas. I face relegious and sexual persicution.

I am not sure how I can clarify without making a HUGE post.

Try working on yer spelling.
And you -formed- a religion? Isn't that technically considered a cult?

And you -formed- a religion? Isn't that technically considered a cult?

There is nothing wrong with cults, I think cults should have a right to drink the blood of virgins to become one with the asteroids.
