As a gay Christian, my heart totally goes out to you. I'm not out to my parents, as they are very homophobic, but I plan to come out eventually. Remember, no matter what happens, God will always love you. No matter what other Christians will tell you, God loves everyone, despite there sins (and whether homosexuality is a sin is so debatable anyway). I'm so sorry that you're going through to much right now, and if you ever need to talk, shoot me a PM. If you're parents really followed God's teachings, they will forgive and love you no matter what you do, as that is what God tells us to do <3

I agree entirely with Ashley, my heart goes out to you as well. I also went through a sort of 'enlightenment' like you did, so I know the feeling. All I can say is that remember that God will be there for you no matter how hard it gets, and the fact that you can keep your faith and be who you are says a lot about how powerful of a person you are.
Stay strong! <3

Thank you for the encouragement!! I know my parents will always love me, but it's their support I'm wondering about... It's kinda hard to live without when you still have 3 years of Highschool.

I'd suggest you try and talk them through your decision to quit counselling.. Maybe show them this website?
Just sit them down and tell them to just listen and not make this any harder on you Emoticon: Smile :)

As a gay Muslim, I know how you feel. There was a long period where I thought that being gay was wrong and I was forcing myself to change. It got to the point where I realised that I couldn't change the way I felt and that God had made me this way. I believe that God is all-loving and that applies to whether you're straight, gay or anything else.

I'm sorry to here what you're going through and I hope that it all works out.

I understand perfectly how you feel. While I have not gone through the "enlightenment" that you have mentioned, I have had a similar experience.

When I first came out to my mother, she was in utter shock. She asked a plethora of questions, most of them regarding my faith and whether or not I was sure. As she came out of her shock, she began trying to tell me that I might be able to change myself, or I could live a life of celibacy, while my dad just sort of sat back seat.

One thing that hurt the most was that she was fully convinced that it was Satan making me the way I am. It cut me so deeply that I briefly considered suicide. Luckily we got past our issues and we are much closer because of it.

Just wanted to say that it takes time, but eventually you can reconcile yourself with your faith. Just always remember that God loves you. The core of our faith is based on that concept. Emoticon: Smile :)

Well, I told my mom last week that I didn't want to go back to counselling... I didnt really go into the whole Gay Christian thing as much as I just don't want to go back to counselling. And my mom did cancel my appointment, so we are on the right track. She asked a lot of questions, but I really only semi-answered them, because I'm not really ready to explain what I think/believe yet... But it's another step!! Plus my mom an I did talk about a semi-unrelated deepish topic yesterday, which is a good sign, so maybe we will be able to talk soon.
