i sometimes wonder what my parents' reaction would be if i told them i was gay. not that i am, im quite content with my boyfriend at the moment, but i have been reading and thinking alot about parents' reactions to this sort of thing.
i read about this kid zach (16), whose parents found out he was gay and was sent to an anti-gay christian camp in memphis. i cannot even believe places like this exist. it sounds so old fashioned. of course the baptists were behind the idea. they try to teach you that being gay is wrong by using Bible verses to prove that it is a sin. i just think that the each verse in the Bible can be interpreted and applied many different ways, and sometimes i interpret it way differently then others. it seems to be a bit twisted by certain religious groups sometimes.
why do parents think they can just force their children into being strait and being sexually attracted to members of the opposite sex? you cant just lock a teenager in a Bible camp and force religion on him and expect that to "fix" him. maybe there was nothing wrong with him in the first place. it just seems so absurd.
i have this one friend who is gay. and he came out to his parents and they are fine with it. they have encouraged him to be different his whole life, so they are very accepting when it comes to his sexuality. i have another gay friend though who lives in constant fear of people finding out he is gay. it is almost rediculous. instead of coming out with it and being able to be himself, he hides this and stays very unhappy about the situation. i have another really close friend whose mate recently broke it off with him because his parents found out he was gay and made him break up with his mate. the whole gay thing just seems to be blown out of proportion by parents and others.

whoa.....
i guess i just won't comment here anymore then. i mean, it's not like i can call you or anything. and i work/go to class everyday from 8 to 5. sorry for not being communicative, but if i had a way, i probably would be.
plus, i have no idea where you live. you gave me the general location, but i'm not going to go knock on every door until i find you.
i guess i'll just leave you alone then. sorry for the inconvenience.
