After much freaking out during a weekend retreat, I finally told the group during prayer time. It went absolutely amazing. (!)
Congratulations for having the courage to tell them... so wonderful that their response was what you needed.
yay Skydiver. geez, i can just imagine what must have been going through your mind. the youth group i went to would have most likely tried that 'conversion therapy'. you sound like you have a great group of friends. congratulations.
A church youth group? I'm impressed, congrats. Is it an affirming church (assuming we are talking about a church youth group).
Thank you guys. I feel blessed. I hope I can offer encouragement to anyone who needs it. Ezkill, the church is definitely not known to be pro-gay. There's pamphlets out in the front that have some very harsh words for homosexuals (I've actually thought about stealing all of them ) It's my hope that the Christianity of the future is much different from what it is today.
Congratulations on coming out to your church's youth group. I think it is fantastic that you decided to go for it, even though the church isn't as welcoming of gays, and that it turned out to be amazing.
