I'm not even sure they would go to great lengths to "convert" him. Often times people will just get kicked out (disfellowshiped). One of my good...
A couple of ideas off the top of my head: Get involved in some sort of volunteer organization. Especially if this is GLBT related (i.e.,...
Please do get some help! If that brings tears, so be it. It sounds like you're in a rough state, but the people out there who can help with...
It depends a lot on how anti-gay the church is and how broad a range of views are accepted. For example, there are quite a few gay Catholics. On...
Because I live here, I just wanted to comment that the South does have a lot of regular churchgoers. Because of that, there are a lot of people...
Re: Gay-themed Songs... Definitely check out this Wikipedia article on queercore. Lots of bands and record labels under the umbrella of rock...
First, I don't really see what's wrong with just blurting it out. It's very easy to keep looking for "the right time" and never find it. So what...
Well, perhaps there is no pattern of actual physical abuse, but I'm still not convinced this is a healthy relationship. There appears to be an...
My own emphasis added to the quote: Stop being a victim and get out of this relationship NOW! I think your relationship is not a good idea,...
I remember going through sex ed in school too. Unfortunately, it mostly focused on pregnancy protection (especially when I was in elementary...
In my humble opinion, I think you should just come clean and tell him everything when you come out to him. I imagine that once you come out to...

Well, the way drug education is done and the way mainstream media portrays drug abuse in this country sometimes involves exaggeration. I don't...
Well, that is an odd reaction, but like Paul_UK said it could have been worse. Strangely, I think lukewarm reactions from coming out to other gay...
I want to start by saying that this thread resonates with my own life a lot. I'm also 26 and only started coming out to other people in August...
I can identify with certain aspects of your story, like really wanting to be truthful with family that you care about (and who care about you)....
I just wanted to say not to worry too much about finding a boyfriend. Sure, you need to get out there and meet people in order to ultimately...
First, to have a boyfriend you only truly need to be out to one person: that guy. Lots of very closeted people are in relationships and often one...
Oh, I agree with that as well. I'm just saying 10% of the population does not identify as gay. Judging from just my own personal struggle with...
I think the 10% number originally came from Kinsey's research. He did ask questions about who the participants had had sex with, not what...
