How do you reconcile your sexuality with your strong Christian beliefs? For some young people this can cause tremendous inner turmoil and feelings of shame, guilt and unworthiness. Yet it need not be that way. Please check out the following website that is a short autobiography of someone who worked through those issues and has some wonderful insights to share. Though no longer a youngster himself, he tells about growing up with a strong religious background while struggling with the issue of his bi-sexuality. It is a story all too familiar to some. But he goes on to list how his bible studies uncover some myths and misconceptions that churches, even today, use to perpetuate their bias against homosexuality. Today he believes that God loves and accepts him just the way he is. I strongly recommend this website if you struggle with these issues. Please go to: http://lakeweedatarrowhead.net/index.htm

I realize there are members of this board with very strong anti-religious convictions. But there are people who need to hear the message above and aren't going to be helped by turning this into a 'God is a myth' debate.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
