I can't.....
I can't tell my friends.
I can't tell my parents.
I can't tell my family.
I can't tell my teachers.
I can't tell my community.
I can't tell anyone i meet.
I only have myself.
No one else.
I don't think i have God anymore.
I went to this trip with my church last week to Alabama.
I connected with God but it all went away when i read about homosexuality in the Bible.
I can't give up who i am.
I can't be something i'm not.
I can't.
I just can't.
I need support from someone.
Anyone who will tell me its going to be okay.
Anyone that will be my friend.
I seem to be low on those these days.
All i need is support from someone.
Will you help me?

Aw, honey. Believe me, it's going to be okay. You don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to, but don't feel like all you have is yourself. Trust me, you don't. You have all of us here, and we love you. We accept you for exactly who you are. You don't have to be something you're not. You're not obligated to. Stay true to who you are. You'll find someone you can trust enough to tell, and then one day, you will meet someone. If you haven't already, of course. If you have, that's great. If not, you will.
(((hugs))) I've been where you are. I'm bisexual. To this day I still struggle with the prospect of telling people, as well as the whole religion situation. I want to be a good Christian, but...I don't know. I'm in the same boat as you. I feel as though I connect with God, but whenever I hear the homosexuality issue, it just knocks it down. Makes me stray away. Because I know I'm bisexual and nothing is going to change it, that's just who I am. No matter what the Bible tells me.
Hope I was able to help some. (((hugs))) I love you.

So simply put, yet so powerful. I second this statement.

I third that, times one hundred. That's exactly how I feel about TTL, as well.

i guess living my whole life in dc makes me not understand any problem with admitting to your preference
i do not have doubts with my sexuality - but i still consider myself a recovering catholic...because i dont believe in the narrow mindedness

I wish I could come and give you a big hug... You are not alone. I have been where you are now. And it will get better. You will find people in your life who accept you for who you are. You don't know how people will react until you tell them. People's opinions can change too. As Shadow mentioned, if you want you can still be a Christian. Many people who are gay still have their faith. There are many interpretations of the Bible. You can make a post about it in the faith section if you want?
The important thing is that you follow your heart. Don't let anyone tell you that what you are feeling is wrong. Your feelings are beautiful.  Take your time. You will figure this out, and you will be ok. You are not alone. We are here to support you.
(((((((((((((((((more hugs))))))))))))))))))
