Did your church speak out strongly against the LGBT community? Mine certainly did.
Some sects of Baptists can get really extreme.
Indeed they did. That was one of the reasons why I quit going when I was 14 and first realized I was gay.
Another reason I quit going was because once in Sunday School I had to do an assigment about "what is and isn't OK for people in other countries to do".
Things that are 'OK' were eating bugs, talking in a different language, etc.
Things that are 'Not OK' were having more than one wife, women going around topless, etc.
Even at 14 years old I thought that sounded like a bunch of BS. I mean, who are we to judge what is and isn't right in somebody else's country? Better yet what gives us the right to try and change how they do things?
That is so typical of Christians to think they have the right to invade and colonize other people's countries and tell those native people what to do.

Was your mom supportive when you decided to quit and came out of the closet?

Well my Mom was never actually religous. I went to church because my Nana went and she wanted her grandchildren to go with her. If she knew why and how I felt about church now it would probably break her heart so I try not to bring it up around her.
As for me coming out, I wouldn't say my mom was against it, but she wasn't exactly supportive of it either. She never encouraged me to date or be open about who I was or cared about what I was going through as a teenager.
Honestly being gay in a small southern town in the Bible Belt sucks, especially when you have aspergers and are already socially awkward.

That would be tough!
None of my family knows that I have a bisexual side. It would not go over well at all!
I avoid actively looking for a relationship with a girl because of how complicated it’d be, but if it happened, they’d have to deal with it.
Me being in any relationship would be complicated, actually. Maybe I should just stay single forevermore.

I'm starting to feel the same way. A relationship is just too much work.

Not to worry, God does not exist! I'm an Atheist and my belief is that the Bible was made up by people just like all the other religions with multiple deities before it, and the ones after. Eventually one with a single god appeared and that one lasted as people dropped their multiple gods. I also think religion was invented to control people. I for sure wouldn't stick stuff in my nose like African tribes to fend off evil! Or let them mutilate my children's genitals [although I'm childless by choice] for reasons science proved yet again are insanananane! Yep, people are predictable with their made-up stuff about after-life, human fear and need to have a higher being to explain the unknown or have comfort that someone loves and protects them. But I really can't blame them, I used to be one of them myself. Children who are exposed to religion really can't see things as clearly, it's sad that this happens in the world. Religion is not a game for children to be exposed to. It took me a long tough process, years of bible reads in my family and a high school with orthodox thematic, but I am finally free and relieved and can finally be myself fully with the beliefs I want to have and the things I want, can value to offer the world.
I am slightly bisexual (20% lesbian), if that counts. I don't have much lesbian experience, I think I might be more attracted to a different personality than what I've encountered/dated.
Revenge, what are you in terms of religious beliefs?
