Hi. I'm W. I'm 14. It's been a while since I delved into online and forums and stuff about my life, but I feel that this is the right time. My story sucks, not as much as others', but it still sucks. If you've read my s/o tag, then yeah. Well, my parents happen to be super-christians and believe that homosexuals choose to be the way they are, yada yada. I was never going to come out to them until I left the house, but I told some friends of my brother (whose a senior in High School) and he forced me to tell him what I told my friends or he wouldn't drive me home from school. So, I was forced out of the closet by my brother and he threatened me to tell my parents by the end of the week or he would do it for me. Things went down, I came out as an atheist and gay to parents at once and they made my life a living hell of guilt, frustration, anger, etc. They feel obligated to give their 2 cents on my ""decisions"" I've made all the time when I never even bring anything up. They've attempted to strip me away from all my devices and they blocked all communication from my best friend (I prefer to say best friend because he's more to me than an ex-boyfriend) and blame my sexuality and atheism on problems in their life. Now you know a bit about me here's some stuff that's irrelevant: I like art, the bass guitar, skateboarding, occasional programming. thanks for taking your time to read this.
Welcome. :smilewave For religious people that was a double whammy: Atheist and gay! :eek: A lot of people I know have a bigger problem with me being an atheist than me being gay. It will be harder to convince them that God is just an imaginary friend, than to convince them that God thinks it's ok to be gay. Contrary to popular belief it is only a small number of very vocal religious people that are homophobic. It might be worth your while researching gay friendly Christian churches for your family. Stay strong and true to who you are. (*hug*)
That's an awful thing to happen, I really hope things improve for you soon. You like bass? Nice! It's like, the only instrument I can play, and even then I can only do a couple of songs. But don't bass lines just sound lovely when you plug them into an amp? (Oh god, look at me going on about bass guitars. Oops) Anyway, welcome to EC! Everyone's pretty cool here, I hope this place can at least offer you some support.
Wow, thanks for the overwhelming support! I really needed it. I'm glad there are people out there that care that aren't from my school. It's awesome. It just saddens me that people can be closed-minded because of their beliefs. I mean, I do have plenty of friend at school that are Christians and fully support me, but then there're people like my parents. My own parents won't support me. I just wish people would understand, y'know? I love you all! Thank you for the support! AlsoImAFurrySoHeheh
