I have recently discovered that I'm gay. All this makes me question everything in life. I wish someone would tell the answers.
Will I go to Hell for being Gay? And what is up with my religious statues. Who will hate me or who will except me for how I am.
All this is making me go though hell,but maybe I desire it. I can't change who I am,but many of the people I see everyday and I love will not except me for religious reasons.But doesn't it say in the bible that it's not humans place to judge,it's God's.The only people that willingly excepted me is my parents and my closest friends.
How can I go though life not knowing this information. At this moment in time I'm so unsure about religion that I don't want to be 100 feet from a church because I feel ashamed. I am glad that I live in a country that wouldn't kill me over my sexual orientation.
One Of my best friends, Jacob is also Gay and he is one of the biggest reasons why I'm getting though this in one piece.
So if anyone has any answers then tell me. My mom just tells me that I have to find the answers on my own Maybe shes right or maybe I just will be lost forever.













"I can't change who I am"
Everyone has people that don't accept them for who they are- white, black, gay, straight, it doesn't matter. Until you accept yourself, you can't really expect to be accepted by anyone else. Sexuality is natural and shouldn't be shameful. Don't get so caught up in other people's ignorance.
It sounds like religion is a big concern for you. I'm agnostic, but I know enough of the bible to know that people have no right to judge. You might want to check out http://wouldjesusdiscriminate.com. That site has biblical quotes to refute the anti-gay ones.

There's some excellent posts on ProU on the subject, I'm linking you to a bunch you might find helpful, some by me and some by others.
I seriously doubt you're going to hell for the gift of love that God gave you.
Please PM me if you have any questions - I'm not Christian but I'm lesbian and I was raised Jewish and I've studied Christianity and homosexuality a great deal and came to the conclusion that it's not sinful. I've also worked as a peer counselor for youth and GLBT youth in particular for years and I can give you a lot of resources (ranging from articles to forums to hotlines) to help.

You will not go to Hell for being gay. Contrary to what the church accepts, God accepts everyone for who they are. You are gay, so he will accept you. He created all of us, including people who are gay. I can understand why you would feel ashamed for being near a church, but (you probably already know this) the reason for going to church is to get closer to God. Sure there is the preist presiding over the mass, and he takes orders from the Pope and Vatican City. But the ultimate decider is God and you will not end up in Hell for being gay.
I hope that helped

EVEN IF GOD WAS REAL, YOU WILL NOT GO TO HELL. MOST OF THE THINGS THAT THE BIBLE AND CHURCH STATES ARE NON SENSE TO ME. IIF WE ARE JUST A SPECIE THAT IS STILL ON EVOLUTION OR IF WE WERE CREATED BY GOD AND WE ARE JUST A PLAY GAME ON WHO WINS AND WHO LOSES, THERE IS NO HELL OR HEAVEN.
THERE IS NOTHING TO PROVE THAT. IF YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON, THAT IS WHAT COUNTS.
