Hi there! my name is Kay. I'm new to this whole community forum thing but I needed a place I could trust. I'm currently attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah as a Sophomore. It is a competitive private university. If you haven't heard of BYU before its the Mormon University. Mormons aren't rude or hateful to people like us but they don't exactly encourage it. In order to be a good Mormon and Gay essentially you have to not act on any of your desires. So coming out for me is rather difficult. I have to deal with my family, my friends, my roomates, and my church, which I deeply respect. I'm at a bit of a crossroads here! My hobbies include learning about different cultures, learning different languages, musical theatre and Fashion. I'd love to make some friends who are in a similar place as me! -kay
Welcome, it's nice to meet ya! I bet you'll have a good time here, after all you've got a place where you can talk about it freely here; I think that can help a lot and in case you just wanna chat a little - my wall is always availabe
Welcome to the community Kay! Wow - that's a great school, but also a tough spot to be in. To say that Mormons aren't very open the the idea of same sex relationships is a bit of an understatement. I hope that you'll be able to work through some of your concerns here.
Welcome to EC! My girlfriend is from a conservative Mormon family and transgender. They all just ignore her when she tries to assert her identity and she's given up trying to convince them at this point, instead focusing more on just living as independently of them as possible. They're a tough crowd and it must suck to have to come out in that kind of environment. I'm sure things will get better for you though.
