    hello. im super scared and totally unsure i should be doing this. scared- confused- trembling so hard can barely type this. everything in me is exhausted from a lifetime of hiding these feelings. im overwhelmingly concerned about consequences that would result if i take this leap. my faith has been so vital to me for so long that the inner turmoil is nauseating. i hope to make some friends i can be open with. im told i make a good friend and listener too. i am a leader in my faith community but only want to be a regular guy on here so please feel free to discuss faith in general with me if you wish but please dont think im here to be an adviser on such issues, it would make me uncomfortable. im just looking for understanding friends.

    Hey welcome to EC :grin:
    There are plenty of understanding people here! Feel free to message me if you like, I'm a good listener, even though I'm still too young to give proper advice or anything :slight_smile:

    Fire can burn you, but it can also be warm and comforting. "Gay" does not cancel out "faith", although it might mean some changes to the way you have looked at things your whole life. You're not alone. Welcome!

    Hello and Welcome to EC!!

    Just because you are gay does not mean that you have to give up your faith. There are gay Christians out there. You may have to make some changes, but in the end, your happiness matters to God. God is love, that is something that never should be forgotten.
