Is It Normal?
What do you think?
Current Life Predicament
I am almost 20 years old, and I live at home with my parents. For atleast eight years I have known that I am not attracted to girls what so ever, as I am gay.

The problem I am having is that my family is wondering why someone of my appearance has never had any sort of girlfriend. I do not want to tell them outright that I am gay because all of my family and relatives are socially conservative Christian fundamentalists. They truly believe that gays that are the worst ilk of people. I could potentially lose everything I have if I told them, such as money for college and my car, etc. Thus, I would be excommunicated and become a pariah.

I have no friends for support either because my social skills are modest, and social anxiety issues plague my psyche. Also there aren't too many people out there that I trust when it comes to this issue, and society seems somewhat hostile and alien to gays still.

How would some of you deal with this kind of situation?

dont tell them and say there are no decent girls these days, and that theyre all slutty, theyll believe you. you were gay since you were 12? and had a relationship with one of your friends? isnt that a bit early?

Are you gay because the local priest fucked your arse and your mind has blocked it out or maybe your daddy molested you when you were small child. Most religeous people are perverts anyway so tell your dad and then suck him of. Bet he likes it.

well tell them you are too busy to date right now, and when you got your own, then if you come out cool, maybe when you do it won't be so bad with your family, i was shocked when my dad told me he knew i was pregnant, and if it is find a good support group, i mean gays can be bitchy but they are some of the most open minded welcoming people there are, and they may bring you out more. you don't choose your family but you choose your friends.

I would just live a celibate life with myself. That's just the world we live in. I'd move away from the family if they lacked compassion such as Jesus. They're not christians.

@: itsjustme
You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Not so with Cabinet though. Concentrate on getting your education so you will be better prepared for the life ahead of you. If you are truly gay, then you will find the right guy for you. Just keep in mind that the harder you work now, when your young and have the energy, the easier you will have it later on in life. Work now and play later. Who knows, you may meet a sweet young lady who will sweep you off your feet. Life is funny that way. Good luck.

Drop a hint. Ie. when there's a choice of desert suddenly say "oh I'm feeling a bit fruity". Gage their reactions, if ur dad starts to clench a knife maybe they aren't gonna b 2 receptive. If he says "sounds tasty" then maybe they will.

You seem to be a good candidate for the cynic's sanctuary. Intelligent and respectful, yet spurned by society anyhow.

That sucks. Next time they start gay bashing say your mind and don't agree with them and give them your side of the story. If I was your friend I'd support you infinity%. Damn those conservative christians...

Get accepted at a University that's far away say, in San Francisco and tell them you really want to go there and that there's a girl you've been talking to online that you like a lot. That way, you get to be in a leral gay friendly environment, you get educated and your lifestyle is your business.

I wouldn't tell your parents ever. I would just say you're waiting for God to send you the right faithful bible-thumping woman. Then I would go legally marry a lesbian woman (seen it happen, one of my mother's colleagues at work) and then you both go find your same-sex partners, but whenever you visit your parents (once you're on your own), you bring her and you act married, you may have to kiss and shit, but at least you won't have your parents trying to kill/maim/slaughter/excorist you.

Or you just move out, and never look back after you've sucked them dry. XD

I have really no value for abusive/asshole parents, I really would just hang them.

How unchristian of me.

Good luck and God Bless!
