Hi I'm a female Christian and I believe in God without a doubt but I really like this girl and have never really felt anything for boys. I know almost definitely that I'm a lesbian, but lots of people in my church and my parents think homosexuality is wrong. I personally don't think that's what God thinks but I can't possibly tell my Mom or anyone because she'll just say it's a phase and it's all in my head. I'm totally new to this whole thing but I wondered if there were any other people in the same situation and to be honest I just wanted someone to talk with.
Hi Happypotato and welcome to EC I hope you'll like it here ^^ I'm always thinking, that God wants us to be happy. If you can't love who you love... that doesn't make you happy, right?
I'm a rather devout Catholic myself, and have dealt with people trying to tell me that being gay and even trans is wrong on many levels, but the God and Jesus that I know are loving and proud of us. Don't think too hard on it; just be a decent, compassionate human being, and know that you are very much loved. He would not have made LGBTQ+ people if he didn't intend to love us wholeheartedly. Let other hateful people rest in their judgemental misery. He sees all and will judge accordingly.
Hello Happypotato Welcome to EC. I spent 12 years in private Catholic schools. I used to think that was a privilege few had. As a Gay man, that privilege has been a living Hell the rest of my life. I don't know how old you are, but EC is a great place to discuss your feelings and consider the life experiences and perspectives of others. I hope you are enriched during your time here and I am sure you have a lot to contribute.
