SUCKS! I knew for a fact that they will never be supportive once I will come out. If I am going to come out, I need to have a job and make a living for myself after college because they will just neglect me like I'm not their child and will never be welcome to the family.
I'm just talking about this because me and mom had a conversation this morning. I told her that had a partner in a programming class who's a guy and loves to wear makeup and watches a lot of makeup tutorials. And guess what my mom said?
"It's great that the gayness didn't spread and infect you." That just hurts. Nothing's wrong with it though because that's who he is and that's what he wanted to do. Everyone else in the family also make fun of the LGBTQ+
It sucks because I love them so much and they did a lot for me and my needs, but those actions of them makes me feel like they're never going to change and accept me for who I am. They're going to make me feel like a disappointment to them. Even some people that I know in this conservative country won't accept me.
Religion breaks us apart, and it's sad. They're in a prison of their old beliefs and not being open to anything new to them, especially if it's against on what they believe in.
Just venting it all out because I am in a house where everyone is homophobic. I hate it here. It's ruining my mental health.
To all the closeted people out there, take your time. We will reach the freedom we want when we're ready! We can't change their minds, but we can come out and be free no matter what. <3 :')
Yeah they will learn to love u. My family never don't understand, nor did they accept it at first, but that's little things over what comes with the end.
Oh no. Are you Christian Too? I'm Orthodox and I immigrated from my country ~12 years ago. I didn't really understand LGBT because I grew up in an environment that detested it. And then I became one.
Sometimes it's hard for people to understand something if they weren't exposed to it growing up.
You're amazing the way you are! I'm happy that I met you and I can call you my friend because you're extra cool!!!! <3 It doesn't matter what they say because it's not your fault you were born this way and you were/are/will still be awesome!!! <3
Akeria , I am actually a Roman Catholic. But it's also part of Christianity. My family are quite exposed to it but they're still in their homophobic ways. I hope that they will open their heart soon.
