Well, I am glad you feel more mature and more self-confident. Also, you are so young, but still self-concious which will always make you decisions in the future less stressful. You also realized that what strangers think and tell about your habbits, hobbies, sexuality, etc. is not something that should deter you from your path. So, all in all, I am happy for you. 

Sis you can be gay and believe in God too. Even if I don't believe in God, I don't remember the bible saying something about the gays. Be who you wanna be and don't let  anything stop you from being happy, as long as you don't hurt anyone. I know this is a cliché phrase, but you only live once, if you do it right once is enough, never forget this!

I’m glad you’re in a happier place now sis!

im also glad to see that you didn’t let your sexuality get in the way of your belief 

@Just Whitney I always wanted to ask you, you said that your parents are very religious people. How do they feel about you stanning Madonna (you stan ha right? ) I remember when my grandma realized I like Madonna Actually my lil shit cousin said it to her, without a reason.

@Régine Filange I know you didn't ask me, but I have this one memory when I was like 3 years old. My parents and some other family members went into the restaurant for a launch and there was song by Madonna playing ( I don't remember which one ). I started dancing in my chair and saying 'Donna, Madonna, because her name was apparently the only thing that I remember when radio host announced the song. It was funny and everyone was laughing. I mean, my parents grew up with ABBA and some other pop-rock bands from our country, but they didn't consume music like fans or stans, they listen to music in more casual way, so Madonna was also someone whose songs were played heavily.

I guess your parents weren't extremely religious ppl as my grandma, cause Madonna touched their nerves sometimes in her career

Oh they were and we are ( sort of ), but not in some blind, fanatic way.

my parents dont know i stan Madonna  The only person they (aka my Mom) know i stan Whitney. However yeah, them being religious they were very disturbed by Madonna and Lady Gaga; i remeber when i was younger they would always use them too and benchmarks for evil in the music industry and call them "devil worshipers" 

Nobody cares, hoe.

Sure I'm still confused about myself because religion has been drilled in me since i could think for myself and if I'm honest, I'm never letting that go because i feel that God is real and if I'm gay than that's how i was meant to be, right? He says that he loves all his children and if I'm not doing anything immoral like being a pedo or a criminal of any sorts, i can be punished for loving someone. FOTP played a large part in that too. My eyes have been opened to other opinions on everything and through here, I've learned to accept that my opinions are my opinions and I don't have to mold myself in a mindset that I don't want or believe in. So to a good 2 years on this forum and to whatever future i have with it.

I'm feeling this part has a little to do with our interaction in the HIV thread, because we touched on this subject lightly, but regardless, i'm very happy you really have no plans to hate yourself for loving guys, hate never make any sense tbh.  

you're such a sweetheart   

This is beautiful

I don't know you well since we started talking yesterday  but I'm glad you're having a great time on the forum, and I'm glad that it has affected your life, in a positive way  

I'm also glad that you know within yourself who you are, and that's the most important thing, and I'm glad you don't feel this pressure to try to act differently or change who you are just because you feel like you may get judged or anything. Be who you are.

And you're still young so you'll have time to figure out the religion part, but just so you know, it's not what some people make it out to be, it's not anti gay and you're not hated by God or anything. I'm an atheist so I'm not really familiar with the topic as much, but I met plenty of gay people that are still religious so I don't see why it should be a problem with you, and don't let anyone make you think you're not a God's child
