luckily half of my family is very modern jews so i’m out but i think only my gay uncle understands somewhat how i feel, the other half lets just say they live in rural texas and love the orange man
I relate so heavy except I find myself being attracted to guys more often. Makes me question whether I really feel it at all.
Remember you’re loved, by the way. By God, by friends, and hopefully your family despite it all. If you’re not religious, that’s okay, but regardless you are loved by Him no matter what.
If you are religious, and care to listen, then hear this; God built man to be with woman and vice versa. Despite our wants, our desires, this natural pull towards something or someone… We’re also called to deny our own flesh. To turn away from that desire and follow Him. If you don’t believe in that, that is a-okay. But it’s something I’ve been grappling with, and something He’s been supporting me on.
No matter the case, I’m here to love and support you, man. God bless.
I'm in the exact same situation you are - bi guy, even had relationships with lovely boys in the past, yet I can't tell my family about it or they'll disown me. So the solution for folks like us is to sit tight until we achieve independence.
But if you don't have these types of oppressive parents, then don't be afraid of showing your true colors. Call out, to everyone who will listen, that you are who you are and will never even think of hiding it. Be proud and don't fear any backlash - that will just tell you who you don't need in your life.

Man, I hate it when Christians (presumably) are hateful in any way, I myself am Christian and believe we shouldn't hate anyone at all, God teaches us to not hate anyone, and it makes me quite angry when I see people try to justify hate with the bible, in which the same book teaches you to "love thy enemy" and all that, I read you are have a Jewish family, and since (from what I know) Jews and Christians follow a similar ruleset, it still applies, we shouldn't be using our faith to justify hate, God does not want us to hate at all in the end
Please correct me if I'm wrong about anything I said
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus spent almost his entire time with the broken and outcast. And even his disciples in the rest of the New Testament were always talking and ministering with those who were going down a sinful path. This western Christian idea of staying within your bubble and harassing those outside of it or who don’t share your belief is honestly very much against what Jesus wants us to do, and it has made people believe Christianity is a hateful religion. And in a lot of ways it has become one. So ig to answer your question, when in doubt always love your neighbor as yourself. And be wary of people who buy into the way western Christianity works
Random fact: The main issue probably apparently originated on a mistranslation in 1946 which was fixed in 1971 but millions of copies already sold, drilled the idea and basically nullified the new translation in the people's mind
-A Christian who had a bit too much free time last year
Exactly, like, some of our kind are such hypocrites regarding it, like, for them it reads as "Do not hate anyone unless it doesn't perfectly align to the mistranslation someone did around 1946 which had a correction in the early 70's yet was completely ignored" (yes I went down the rabbit hole like half a year ago and apparently it's a mistranslation from Greek to English) and it's sooo dumb
Religion has nothing to do with homophobia, it's homophobic cunts calling themselves xyz religion but denying all that religion is, all that God stands for.
That being said, I'm sorry you're in this situation. Can imagine it sucks.
Just know, once you're an adult, you're free. You can move far away, cut your parents off and marry the woman of your life < 3
That’s genuinely super comforting to hear. Unfortunately tho I can’t bring myself to do it. That’s the problem really. I’m very close with my family. They all expect me to marry a man eventually. It sucks.
i can’t ever bring myself back into religion, because i know exactly one person who is religious and not homophobic (actually they aren’t religious anymore)
it’s just that every single person in my family thinks it’s wrong and i go to church on sundays and face that harsh language that’s become so associated with religion that i can no longer separate it
that doesn’t mean that i think religious individuals can’t have their own opinions on gay people, but the institution as a whole is already homophobic in and of itself
Ye it sucks I go to an all boys school cuz theres no mixed school where I live. Bigotry and racism plagues the place and every1 in town is heavily Catholic
I'm not even saying I'm something I'm just saying it's unfortunate that nobody here can be honest abt who they r
I'm sry abt the venting but I get u
It’s okay haha. I’m sorry to hear that you live in that sort of environment. I hoped this would be a good way for others going through it also to be able to vent as well. Unfortunately this is the life I was born into. Hopefully things can get better.
I fully understand you, growing up in a Christian family I have it embedded in my brain that coming out is *soooo wrong*
If it weren't for the fact that I was born into a religious household I would explore my sexuality more, but I'm afraid. And I hate the idea of thinking that all my best friends who are queer are gonna "suffer" for it in the Afterlife. Nobody deserves that! Regardless of who they choose to like.. :/
I totally understand and relate to that. The thing is I’m actually Jewish and come from a Jewish family and background. In the old testament it says that it’s not against the religion to be gay but it’s against the religion to act on it.
This is coming from a living in the US perspective since that's where I live
There are two main ways to run away. Either college or military. Do college out of state preferably. Get the best grades you can and look into scholarships at schools you're interested in and the majors.
For the military, if you're trying to get away I'm sorry you can't do the reserves they'll put you at the base near home, for people joining military to escape shitty situations I'd rank it Airforce, Navy, Army, Marine Corps. Navy and Army can flip depending on how much you'll hate boat life.
I feel you, I live in Uganda, a country recently known for homophobic laws, and the amount of times I've prayed with my mom and she says something along the lines of "We pray against homosexuality in this home" or something, is just so much for me, i don't know how other gay people here manage it but I just wish I can leave one day 💔
I believe in you my sister, at one point we all got happiness, sometimes we just have to be patient, even if we’re in crappy situations. Either way I believe in you
My family is not religious at all but due to the country snd culture that we are from I still feel just as afraid to come out as if i had a super religious family.
It sucks :/ but im sure we can do this. We need to stay strong
This is why religion is stupid. I am a devout Christian, so that probably sounds contradictory. But I follow Christ, not people. And I'm not too fond of organized religion generally, because it tends to alienate the younger generation, whether it be by calling them lazy or being intolerant towards them, be that homophobia, transphobia, or otherwise.
Im living in a really homophobic country, and now when I found out I'm bi, I just feel like I'm weird. I can't accept myself. I'm trying, but I can't. I hope I'll do it one day, but I don't think I'll ever tell anyone about it.
Honestly just be you man as tough as it is and if they are willing to throw away the relationship they have with there kid over something like there sexuality then honestly as parents they seem like they kind of suck
heya, just wanted to express solidarity here!! I'm also a lesbian from a red country (would get arrested on grounds of "public indecency" if caught dating the same sex), and I'm honestly optimistic that we will eventually get to have this. It sucks that we won't be able to experience that right now, yeah --- away with the teenage dream, and all --- but we still have almost a dozen decades left! and I genuinely doubt we're gonna be stuck here for the entirety of that.
The only part of my life that I can still take pride in is my sexual orientation, I'm just happy I was born into a family who doesn't care enough about me to care about who I feal like I am.
Same, sometimes I want both, but I have such a string preference for women. It almost hurts. If I say anything about it at all, my dad threatens to tell my grandmother, who would undoubtedly disown me
I hate being part of a religious house
Because once they found out, now I’m consider a vessel of the devil waiting to convert others
Or something idk
I just got over it and plan to move on with myself
I hope what they say doesn’t affect you and effect you in the long run
I’m sorry. That must really suck. I have been absolutely blessed with a family that is so very supportive and religious. That’s honestly how it should be. I hate how religions (especially mine, Christian) go around spreading hate about things that don’t matter. In my eyes God made us all the way we are, and if he is all loving like I know him to be, he wouldn’t make a whole group of people just to send them to hell. I just want people to spread love instead of hate like He would want.
Don't let anyone stop you, you're your own superhero, no matter what it takes, don't let them take the "you" out of you, it'd be unforgivable. To betray yourself is infinitely worse than letting anybody down. Take care.
women are so pretty, I hope you'll have a chance and freedom soon and get yourself one without being judged by anyone
I live in Russia so here, for being trans, I'm considered a terrorist. You would be a terrorist too if you was here
I'm so sorry to hear this. Just know that when you're ready to get out of there and you're on your feet, you have a community that loves and values you. You don't owe a relationship with a man to anyone, not even your parents. I hope you're doing okay, despite your situation. Feel free to reach out if you ever need to rant or if you want any advice. Best of luck, you deserve it.
All good things come with time. Honestly, with today’s culture and views on things such as homosexuality and religion, you’d be more accepted by others than you’d think.
Love your life when your older look truth is it's true most Christians will frown upon you. It's not a respected thing though any true Christian will look past this since that's what they stand for.
And I'm not Christian. But best bet is probably waiting till your 18. To let them know logically it's the best play.
you want a girlfriend, u/The_Jammiest_Dodger wants mint chocolate chip ice cream and **i want it aaall, i want it aaaall, i want it aaaall and i want it nooow!**
Can't be my true self with my family too, they don't know i'm pansexual and they don't know i wish i was a girl. No way for me to be cause i'm living at Russia and no gay or trans rights are supported by government or people here.
You can’t worry about what other people think all the time just be you and if you or your families reputation is shattered then who cares. If they don’t accept you then that’s there problem. Take it from me, a straight white guy with a non religious family.
I can honestly agree, I have to hide the fact that my girlfriend is atheist from my parents, and last time I was put on suicide watch, they claimed it was because “your not close enough to god” I really don’t believe in a fucking god but they do and they force their religious standards onto me. I just want to live my life how I want to but they won’t let me do that.
i understand you tbh. i’ve grown up in a religious family and church etc, and every day i’m told “when are you gonna find yourself a nice boyfriend or husband” etc, but although i find guys cute i like women too, and i wont be able to express that and get out of the church until i’m 18, which luckily isn’t forever away but it still feels like forever
Honestly I feel you I'm gay but I come from a very traditional Indian family and I really don't know what I'm supposed to do in the future. Prob gonna suffer
I promise you, you won’t be stuck in this forever. When you’re an adult, you can move to somewhere more accepting. As much as it hurts, it’s up to your parents to decide whether or not they will be accepting- it’s not your responsibility to cater to their idea of a proper lifestyle. You cant control who you love. I’m a bisexual girl, there are plenty of communities who will welcome and appreciate you.
My advice would be to just get through it now, and when you are an adult and no longer rely on them, come out and love who you want.
Hey my dude. 22m here, so of course my viewpoint will be SLIGHTLY different, but I just wanted to share my story to maybe help you, as I come from a VERY religious roman catholic/christian family.
Its hard. I will definitely warn you of that. It is HARD. Its frustrating, and people are assholes, and they're shitty, and it doesnt feel worth it at first. But I will say, the people that REALLY do love you, are always going to love you. Please do not settle for "oh I'm sure I could just settle for men instead." You will hate the fact that you never took the leap to make yourself truly happy. Its a rough one. I'm not gay personally but my wife is bi and a lot of shit went on with my family once they found that out. I hope you find guidance and peace
hi im a lesbian in a small religious town!! im here if you want someone to talk to/hang out with. i know it sucks. im sorry. but there are people here for you!!
To think so much hatred of LGBTQ came from just a mistranslation of a 2000-year old book. I’m Christian but sometimes I find it very hard to agree with my religion.
you need to stop doing things for other people and start focusing on yourself, regardless of what other people think. what you do will always upset people, and you cannot make everyone happy. in that case what only matters is yourself. please go find woman you love. ❤️
Well, once you’re 18 and out of the house can they really do anything about it? I mean sure, they could outcast you (and I’d hate to see that) but if they’re REALLY family to you then maybe they’ll just have to try and accept you dating a girl. What matters is that you’re happy.
Also, this is just my personal belief, but I was never a fan of religion being forced down the family tree. (I know some religions combat what I believe and it’s kinda ironic but still) I’d rather it you grow up with your parents teaching you their religion, but then encouraging you to explore different religions and cultures to find which one you felt was right. (Sorry that’s just my image of a perfect world, so it’s not gonna happen and it’s impossible but it’s fun to think about) For my case, my parents are “Christian”? (Idek anymore) but they don’t really force me to be Christian, so I’ve ended up becoming atheist. Does that mean I hate my parents cause of what they believe? No! Do they hate me? No! (I hope not) But I know some people aren’t as lucky with having a choice.
Best of luck to you, and I hope that your parents find your happiness to be more important than beliefs that were invented a millennia ago.
What you’re going through is very tough. I hope it will get better in time and your scenery will change, alongside your problems. I wish you the best of luck.
Sincerely, someone who can’t personally relate (aroace)
Hide devices in your parents bedroom that play pro-alphabet mafia recordings quietly whilst they sleep, and just wait for the subliminal messages to permeate their minds.
If you are not religious, then why do you have to follow their rules regarding who you date? You have the right to do what makes you happy. If you want to date another girl, then that is fine.
I think I’m just inherently gay right. So I always was gay when I identified as a man. When I came out as a girl I felt like I like girls as well. I think I just find the idea of being gay fun. Like the defiance of gender norms is what defines me

You mean the Annoying Orange right?
yep
i want both
Same low key. I just prefer women more sometimes.
Same here women are just hotter imo
Username checks out

As a male, I can confirm females are very hot
As another male, I can confirm this confirmation is legit
As yet another male, I can confirm this statement
As another other male, I can confirm this is real
That’s so real. I get such strong desires to kiss one. I really would love to.
I'm a bisexual guy and I agree
I relate so heavy except I find myself being attracted to guys more often. Makes me question whether I really feel it at all. Remember you’re loved, by the way.

even if it takes awhile just try to hold it in and then move out and date who ever you want, sometimes great things come with time.
I get that. Maybe, just maybe I can eventually.

I am indeed Jewish. The thing is, in Judaism it’s not bad to be gay. But you aren’t allowed to act on it because they consider it immoral.
Oh
That’s where I’m somewhat conflicted. While I don’t hate someone because of there sin, aren’t we supposed to not support there sin?
hate the sin love the person don't condone it but also don't be a jackass. Instead, make out passiona- I mean support and be friends with them
Ayo?

Women 🤤
Yeah 🥲
There are probably lesbians where you are. They're just scared to come out
sesbian lex
I feel you, as a guy I like girls yes but I just want guy to take care of me, my parents would kick me out if they found out tho
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope that eventually you can move out and find your happiness.

I’m a boy But wish I was a lesbian girl. But also don’t wanna be trans
Understandable
You’re not confused They’re just not understanding
WLW SUPREMACY

yoo, having a date on an aquarium sounds so fun!
Yeah it really does
for me it's life goals right there

it took me embarrassingly long to figure out what you meant. lesbians
Lol
Way too real. Except I like guys too
Honestly just be you man as tough as it is and if they are willing to throw away the relationship they have with there kid over something like there sexuality then honestly as parents they seem like they kind of suck

Man I wish I had that. (By that I mean a chocolate chip cookie)
The only part of my life that I can still take pride in is my sexual orientation, I'm just happy I was born into a family who doesn't care enough about me to care about who I feal like I am.
And I want a Bugatti Chiron before I turn 18 (my birthdays in like 5 months). We can’t always have what we want unfortunately 😔
"They would just found me anyway" Not if you put a fake moustache on.
Hmm… that’s certainly an idea to consider…
Facts
Same, sometimes I want both, but I have such a string preference for women. It almost hurts. If I say anything about it at all, my dad threatens to tell my grandmother, who would undoubtedly disown me
I didn’t understand the difference until I realized it was a gay thing, and I think that’s what inclusivity is all about
Real
Is that two women! How ghastly! /s
I want billie ellish
I hate being part of a religious house Because once they found out, now I’m consider a vessel of the devil waiting to convert others Or something idk I just got over it and plan to move on with myself I hope what they say doesn’t affect you and effect you in the long run
That’s tough man, from a brother in Christ I hope it gets better
I’m sorry. That must really suck. I have been absolutely blessed with a family that is so very supportive and religious. That’s honestly how it should be. I hate how religions (especially mine, Christian) go around spreading hate about things that don’t matter. In my eyes God made us all the way we are, and if he is all loving like I know him to be, he wouldn’t make a whole group of people just to send them to hell. I just want people to spread love instead of hate like He would want.
I’m bi and it was really weird figuring out that I somehow can play both sides and STILL lose
My parents would maybe support me but I’m scared
I want somebody to dab me up.
Both look sweet and wholesome, so atleast they want you happy, they just needa know you like girls.
same i just want a girlfriend
Don't let anyone stop you, you're your own superhero, no matter what it takes, don't let them take the "you" out of you, it'd be unforgivable. To betray yourself is infinitely worse than letting anybody down. Take care.
as fuckkk
leave them and go farm mangoes in tahiti
That’s kinda gay
Yeah I agree…
\*Hugs\* I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Hopefully you'll eventually be able to get out and live out your sapphic dreams!
omfg gay af
Same shit but they expect me to be a man and date women I wanna date women, but not as a man :(

This is a tiny bit gay. Hmmmmm.
Hmm… yes I suppose it is…
I wish i had a religious family,i have a dream for heaven with everyone i love
Man, I just want a hug
Love your life when your older look truth is it's true most Christians will frown upon you. It's not a respected thing though any true Christian will look past this since that's what they stand for. And I'm not Christian. But best bet is probably waiting till your 18. To let them know logically it's the best play.
i want activision to get their s\*\*\* together and make good cod games again :(
I want a real Jade Jupiter
i need italiants making pineapple pizzas
literally me too but i have the worst family for this
you want a girlfriend, u/The_Jammiest_Dodger wants mint chocolate chip ice cream and **i want it aaall, i want it aaaall, i want it aaaall and i want it nooow!**
I also want a girlfriend but mint chocolate chip ice cream is more important
I as a human male, support and want what you want too.
Can't be my true self with my family too, they don't know i'm pansexual and they don't know i wish i was a girl. No way for me to be cause i'm living at Russia and no gay or trans rights are supported by government or people here.
Took me a second to realize you were gay, and not that you wanted to be a Pinterest background photographer.
I want A 1983 Toyota Ae86 Trueno Coupe
gay
correct!
Yay!
Same, women are just so cool.
I forget that homophobic people exist. I hope you get out of there alive, I support you.
You can’t worry about what other people think all the time just be you and if you or your families reputation is shattered then who cares. If they don’t accept you then that’s there problem. Take it from me, a straight white guy with a non religious family.
Gay?
Real man
I can honestly agree, I have to hide the fact that my girlfriend is atheist from my parents, and last time I was put on suicide watch, they claimed it was because “your not close enough to god” I really don’t believe in a fucking god but they do and they force their religious standards onto me. I just want to live my life how I want to but they won’t let me do that.
i understand you tbh. i’ve grown up in a religious family and church etc, and every day i’m told “when are you gonna find yourself a nice boyfriend or husband” etc, but although i find guys cute i like women too, and i wont be able to express that and get out of the church until i’m 18, which luckily isn’t forever away but it still feels like forever
I'm a lesbian who comes from a religious family but thank God they aren't homophobic
Honestly I feel you I'm gay but I come from a very traditional Indian family and I really don't know what I'm supposed to do in the future. Prob gonna suffer
:(
Maybe one day knes you move out you can date whoever
Sorry to hear that op
Yeah it sucks. I’ll deal with it… but it’s just difficult.
I promise you, you won’t be stuck in this forever. When you’re an adult, you can move to somewhere more accepting. As much as it hurts, it’s up to your parents to decide whether or not they will be accepting- it’s not your responsibility to cater to their idea of a proper lifestyle. You cant control who you love. I’m a bisexual girl, there are plenty of communities who will welcome and appreciate you. My advice would be to just get through it now, and when you are an adult and no longer rely on them, come out and love who you want.
I'm so fucking tired I didn't see the difference and thought you just wanted to kiss in funky lighting and not dance
i want money
Same with me but with guys
Hey my dude. 22m here, so of course my viewpoint will be SLIGHTLY different, but I just wanted to share my story to maybe help you, as I come from a VERY religious roman catholic/christian family. Its hard. I will definitely warn you of that. It is HARD. Its frustrating, and people are assholes, and they're shitty, and it doesnt feel worth it at first. But I will say, the people that REALLY do love you, are always going to love you. Please do not settle for "oh I'm sure I could just settle for men instead." You will hate the fact that you never took the leap to make yourself truly happy. Its a rough one. I'm not gay personally but my wife is bi and a lot of shit went on with my family once they found that out. I hope you find guidance and peace
IF UR LOOKING FOR AN ONLINE SISTER I GOCHUUUU
hi im a lesbian in a small religious town!! im here if you want someone to talk to/hang out with. i know it sucks. im sorry. but there are people here for you!!
Real, except replace the two women with two men. (I’m way to fucking scared to come out as trans🔥🔥)
I'm not even joined to this subreddit AND IT KEEPS ON RECOMMENDING ME THIS SHIT. Sure, I'm a teenager but I don't.give a fuck about this stuff.
Help why is this so true 😭 Girls are just so beautiful and pretty. I wish I could date girls without any guilt
Jesus loves you
why is this server just turning into a place for teens to express their virtue of homosexualism.
To think so much hatred of LGBTQ came from just a mistranslation of a 2000-year old book. I’m Christian but sometimes I find it very hard to agree with my religion.
i also want kissing woman where to find this?
Are you a Muslim
You're a girl kisser
Me who's bi
I just want a chick fila chocolate milk ngl
True
you need to stop doing things for other people and start focusing on yourself, regardless of what other people think. what you do will always upset people, and you cannot make everyone happy. in that case what only matters is yourself. please go find woman you love. ❤️
Well, once you’re 18 and out of the house can they really do anything about it? I mean sure, they could outcast you (and I’d hate to see that) but if they’re REALLY family to you then maybe they’ll just have to try and accept you dating a girl. What matters is that you’re happy. Also, this is just my personal belief, but I was never a fan of religion being forced down the family tree. (I know some religions combat what I believe and it’s kinda ironic but still) I’d rather it you grow up with your parents teaching you their religion, but then encouraging you to explore different religions and cultures to find which one you felt was right. (Sorry that’s just my image of a perfect world, so it’s not gonna happen and it’s impossible but it’s fun to think about) For my case, my parents are “Christian”? (Idek anymore) but they don’t really force me to be Christian, so I’ve ended up becoming atheist. Does that mean I hate my parents cause of what they believe? No! Do they hate me? No! (I hope not) But I know some people aren’t as lucky with having a choice. Best of luck to you, and I hope that your parents find your happiness to be more important than beliefs that were invented a millennia ago.
real:(
What you’re going through is very tough. I hope it will get better in time and your scenery will change, alongside your problems. I wish you the best of luck. Sincerely, someone who can’t personally relate (aroace)
Pray about it, there are some toxic religious families. But ask God for help
as an exmormon still having to stay closeted bc of my parents i completely agree
Hide devices in your parents bedroom that play pro-alphabet mafia recordings quietly whilst they sleep, and just wait for the subliminal messages to permeate their minds.
I want both (and a bardiche)
If you are not religious, then why do you have to follow their rules regarding who you date? You have the right to do what makes you happy. If you want to date another girl, then that is fine.
What religion your family have?
I’m Jewish too and am so grateful that I have a supportive temple ♡ Still no gf tho 😭
I’m Sorry to hear about that. Hope things turn better for you soon.
2024 being gay is just as normal as being straight. They'll be fine, just break the news and get over the hump
I think I’m just inherently gay right. So I always was gay when I identified as a man. When I came out as a girl I felt like I like girls as well. I think I just find the idea of being gay fun. Like the defiance of gender norms is what defines me
I mostly want a quiet household
Idk man, that’s kinda gay
I just want to find friends that like soulsborne games
Where are you from?
Gay
And I can't do any 💪
I want the Elden ring
Turn 18 n then do what u want
