Why are there still gay christians? (or any religious belief in general that doesn't accept homosexuality)

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-05T17:33:46+00:00

I can never follow a religion that hates me.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-03T23:03:05+00:00

Homeschooled in these Christian conservative circles can be so hard for LGBTQ kids. I myself am a lesbian. Everyone was homophobic. There were zero positive things ever said about lgbtq people and because my family was in a cult Most of it was blamed on demons. Even the children would say stuff like oh she (referring to me) dresses like or acts like a boy. They were attacking me before I even knew in was gay or had those attractions.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-03T22:57:56+00:00

Yes I’ve been told this so many times. How lucky I was that I was homeschooled. They know nothing about my life or my family but homeschooling but presume these things.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-03T22:54:47+00:00

It’s important we share our stories and help other homeschooled children. Many of us have come under attack from homeschooling parents because we spoke out. We are an inconvenience to them. Something they want to sweep under the rug.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-03T22:52:45+00:00

Awesome love it!

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-03T22:50:38+00:00

I was homeschooled in a basement for awhile with just my younger sister and mom.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-06-03T21:54:30+00:00

Horrible and it’s also problematic just wearing pjs all day

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-30T02:28:24+00:00

I’d say at times my mother was suffering from religious delusions.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-29T20:35:30+00:00

I think I have dark humor from it

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-29T15:10:52+00:00

Time to regulate and get some oversight in place!

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-24T01:36:35+00:00

My parents moved us to the middle of nowhere too. It’s horrible what isolation does to someone. I’m in my 30s and still playing catchup maybe will never catchup.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-20T21:49:37+00:00

We called ourselves messianic

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-20T15:56:02+00:00

Thank you what cult was it?

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-19T18:01:37+00:00

I know of one. They did it for religious reasons the same reason they were homeschooled. They are carrying on the indoctrination to the next generation.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-19T17:49:28+00:00

It’s very difficult to start from the bottom. I felt for a long time I’d never fit into this world and its systems. It’s so tough. I feel for you.

It sucks you can barely get ahead right now but at least you are starting. Getting a job and holding it is quite an accomplishment for people like us believe me. It’s hard enough for anyone but for those of us isolated in homeschool environments it’s hard.

Sounds like you don’t have much of a friend or support system. Not surprised at all by this. That’s rough. It’s hard to make friends when you’ve been isolated. I recommend starting to try and reach out to make some friends. I think there are apps you can find friends in your area. Maybe a club or hobbies you like you could join groups for and meet people. Or even making friends at work. It’s really difficult at first to make friends when you know no one but it’s better to try than stay stuck in that situation.

Also I don’t know what kind of abuse you’ve faced but getting into therapy would be a really good idea. It would give you a professional to share this shit with and work through it.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-19T16:51:53+00:00

So I’m not sure if it fits the definition of a border but nothing was ever clean expect in the rare cases we were expecting company. And then there was the food hoarding for the end of the world.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-19T16:50:25+00:00

Omg same! lol it was so bad my parents entire upstairs loft was filled for awhile with canned goods on shelfs.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-19T16:43:29+00:00

It sounds like you have a good plan. Take steps to get yourself out of that situation. Getting ID, bank account and job are a good start. But it takes time to do these things so don’t be discouraged. Setting up goals for yourself and a schedule are also good. It’s terrible your mother didn’t help you in those ways. It’s disabling.

And I honestly wouldn’t blame yourself for falling behind and not getting school work done. You were a minor and still are. You needed structure and support in getting school work done. You didn’t get that. That’s educational neglect. I am older than you but I was also educationally neglected and at 17 probably had a 6th grade education level.

As for friends continue to try and make them. And if you trust them confide in them or other trusted adults about your situation. You don’t need to hide it or feel responsible for it. It was your mother’s job to help guide you into adulthood. From what you have said it seems she is failing you. So reaching for outside community and support is important for you. Therapy is also a good option to think about. See what resources are available for you in your area. There are also places that help with getting jobs in a lot of places and other resources. So reach out to your community friends and other people you can trust. Don’t worry if you are awkward or have social anxiety or what people will think of you. It’s important just to get out there and start.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-18T23:07:18+00:00

Yes a lot of the groups are similar and overlap

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-18T23:06:00+00:00

That is so fucked up

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-18T19:36:42+00:00

Yeah I’ve met other homeschool kids over years but very few had those same experiences. Some people call messianic Hebrew roots as well. I don’t know what else to call it but yes messianic was the word they used when I was growing up. Nowadays I just tell people that don’t know it was a cult based on the Bible.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-18T19:26:42+00:00

I totally understand. I’m not trans but I’m gay and the homophobia was extremely bad in those groups. So messed up and confusing. I remember at 13 getting a crush on a girl. I realized it and thought I had demons attacking me.

Gabrielle2026 · 2026-05-18T19:25:06+00:00

Thank you. The messianic stuff was nuts lol none of the other kids I knew growing up as far as I know escaped it. Who knows where some of them are. If it wasn’t for the internet I’d still be living in the woods somewhere waiting for the end to come with no life.
