I stood up to my ex homophobic church and told them I will be cutting ties with them

It's not really a coming out story but sorta because my homophobic church thinks I'm lesbian which indeed I am .
Well today my parents and I went back to the homophobic church, my parents told me they were just going to say hello to everyone then leave . My parents ended up staying there long then , one of the older ladies from the church I've know as a teen came out with her hands folded and my dad smiling ear to ear came behind her . My dad then left her and I to talk then she asked me why ,I didn't want to come in because she heard from my parents that I didn't want to come . I politely said it's because you and I have different views on things and if you knew my views you will not care or want me in your church anymore .
That's when she questioned me about it not getting what I was saying , that's when the pastor came out saying why didn't I come in , and I told him the same thing I told her and that's when he said " Oh I get what you mean your talking about homosexuality "
He then he said it's a sin . I told him that I had friend who was gay and I want to support him ( Lame I know but it's true and I want to support myself too ) Then he told me not to let others influence me and that some evil people try to drag you down with them . Then they asked why the sudden changed I said after being around a few gay people I realized they are just like us and no different . They then started explaining how being gay is wrong and they also said bisexuality too , and how only people like a man and women should only be together because they can reproduce .
I then asked them so if a woman can't give birth and she's with a man is she sinning too and what about old people should they not marry because they can't have children and what about people that choose not to reproduce . That's when they got upset and walked off but before walking off they told me I don't know what happened to you but you need help and you shouldn't let these people turn you this way .
When my mom came back she was so upset saying ,I embarrassed her and that I'm such an awful person and how I ruined the day for her . She then said " Now the pastor is going to think Your gay "
I then yelled at her and said
" How am I embarrassing you by saying I support gay people ."
she then ignored me for most of the trip and refused to talk to me .
She told me that the people at church think I'm crazy and need help and that I had fallen into an evil way . Like I didn't see this coming .:rolle:
Also I feel bad for this but when she asked me if I was a lesbian I told her I was straight I kinda feel bad but I think telling her I'm a lesbian would have added more fuel to the firer

I feel good about what I did and don't regret it even if I get lot of heat for it .

I can't go on my own at the moment but I'm trying to get it to happen , which is hard .

I agree with you , People have sex for pleasure or emotional connectedness . I hate how they try to say marriage and sex is just about reproducing . I just had it with that church , heard from the woman I was talking with that a gay guy had come to their church and they had kicked him out and banned him from coming there by just treating him so awful . I saw the smile on her face when she said " I'm so glad he left " I forgot to list this . I didn't tell them I was lesbian because these people are a bit looney and will probably convince my mother to make them do some crazy pray the gay thing on me . I honestly want nothing to do with them .:dry:

I'm not ready to come out yet so i'm going to wait but I still think my parents are in denial because she's like don't say such things because people will think your gay . I'm just going to enjoy my life .
