    Disclaimer: MY dad does accept me as a person. He loves me a person.
    I recently had a talk with my dad. Well, he talked to me.
    Well, it was about being a lesbian. And who to tell.
    I made it clear I wasn't going to tell my grandma on my dad's side.
    I am not going to flaunt my sexuality to the church. Since my church isn't LGBT safe.
    And my dad doesn't support me being gay either.
    He still believes its a choice, and that I made a choice to be gay. And emotional choice.
    I know that the fact is it isn't. But I won't convince him.
    Also, I do have a rainbow band I wear and a double venus charm. I keep it tucked into my shirt when I am at home. He wants me to take it off when I am out and about, and I really want to wear it. I do agree I will put away the rainbow band when I am home, but when I am out and about (not at church) I want to wear it.
    I do get talked to a lot about my sexuality. I made it clear to him I tried being heterosexual, but it didn't work. At all.
    And yes, I am a Christ follower like he is, I just accept the fact God made me gay.
    How do I deal with this? How do I deal with a non accepting home? a non accepting church? Non accepting Christians? Just how?
    I appreciate all help.
