| Member Regular Member ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: 10 people and counting :) Location: Evansville, Indiana Posts: 37 Join Date: Jan 2012 | Hey! I'm from Evansville Indiana. I am 99% German but I was born in Virginia. We moved from Pittsburgh, PA over the summer for my senior year :/So here's the run down. I am a senior in high school. I have only told a few people that I am gay. And only one of those people actually cares enough to have conversations about it with me. The problem is that I teach 6th grade religious education at my church. I am Catholic. I am an Eagle Scout. My family and I recently moved over the summer so I had to start all over again. Making new friends meeting new people...blah blah blah. I want to tell people but I am afraid of their reaction because a lot of them are not as accepting of gay people. It sucks because I just want to be me. Nothing more. And I want to love. But I can't. I still haven't told my parents or the rest of my family, just a few close friends all of whom live 9 hours away. I am understand that if I tell people I will end up losing some of them. But I am most afraid of losing the guy I've become really good friends with. He's amazing in every sense of the word and he makes my heart skip a beat every time I see him. But he's not gay. No one really seems to be. |

Out Status: Out to parents, campus, and 75 friends on facebook Location: Central and Northern Ohio Age: 19 Posts: 2,504 Join Date: Jun 2011 | Hello and Welcome!! I used to be the youth leader at my church before I went to college, so I can understand how hard it is dealing with sexuality and religion.

| Hope will never be silent EC Moderator ![]() Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Extended family still doesn't know Location: Orlando, Florida Age: 21 Posts: 2,831 Join Date: Mar 2010 | Welcome to EC! ![]() It will take some time, but you will come to realize that your friends and family love you for who you are and not because they think you are straight. They might have a hard time at first, but once they see that the person who they love is still there then they will more likely come around. Stick around, ask as many questions as you want and enjoy your time here ![]()
