Well, I came out to all my friends and most importantly, my family. My friends all were very supportive and were unphased. My parents however...were not so supportive. I've came out to them before when I was 15 and life turned miserable. I had to go to conversion therapy which took its toll on me for the years to come. I was on house arrest basically for many years of my life until I told them i'd try to become straight. I got a girlfriend and fell into drugs and such. When I finally landed my job in Afghanistan, it was the ticket out but at the time, I didnt know that. I was living a very convincing lie, even convincing to myself.

Fast forward one year till' now, and I've come back to who I am. I'm not afraid to show my true self to anyone now. So after everyone thought I had "turned straight", I came out for the final time this time around. And everyone was ecstatic about it because they just knew that what I had been through was horrible. My family and such were quite supportive..except for my parents. They said "Lord forbid if you ever have a wedding." Or, "We'll never feel comfortable around you and your boyfriend if you bring him along to anything or our house. He will not be welcome at dinner time.." and blah blah blah. News flash parents, I'm living on my own now. But really, thanks for making me feel like a terrible child for feeling love for the same gender. And thank you Christianity for causing my parents to believe that AND many others that have that mindset. No offense to any ACCEPTING Christians out there but to the non accepting, judgmental ones? You've caused must distress everywhere for LGBT folks out there.

But on a final note, I'm super happy to finally be who I AM and to not be afraid to show my interest or love to the same gender. I couldn't feel any better about it. Hopefully my parents will come around but I'm not expecting that since I've already been through this once before. :3
