Hey everybody! This is my first time on this site, and I feel like it is a super service that has been made available. I found out about it through a friend at college. Here's my low down. I am gay, and only my friends at school and my parents know about me. I have yet to tell my sister or anyone else at home. I hope that one day I can. I am a strong Christian, but I feel like I am the only gay who loves Jesus. I have not had many good experiences with the gay community so far in life and was hoping to maybe find refuge here. That's all I have for now. I am just looking for someone to talk to, with whom I can relate with similar orientation and beliefs. It may just restore my faith in people!
Hey, and welcome to EC!! :smilewave you've come to the right place, believe me. It's great to have you! (*hug*)
Welcome to EC! There are a lot of gay Christians, and a lot of Christians that support gays. In fact the MCC Church is an offshoot that, as I understand it, started specifically for LGBT people who felt disenfranchised from their Christian congregations. It's definitely a challenge learning to align your beliefs so they are both true to Christian ideals and supportive of LGBT people, but it can most definitely be done. It's only the ignorant, bigoted Christians that don't get that, and unfortunately, the only way to deal with them is to realize they probably won't change and let them be. In the meantime, I hope you have a great time here at EC !
Hey! I'm in your position too! I am going to school and only out to friends and family...I'm glad you came here! I know I sure am. Welcome! Jake
