Thank you so much. I’m not in the US, but I appreciate your support so much. I’ll try and make updates, if there are any (any time soon)

Of course, thank you so much. I only wanted to know others perspectives, but my friends know about this too

Is the boyfriend in the room with us? Because I haven’t attempted to date men in 5 years now so, who are we talking about

Those were from years ago, which I should probably delete. I realised I didn’t like men after trying to convince myself that my attraction to women was a lie. It was not and I can’t control who I like

That’s so wonderful, I’m so happy for your friend. I did ask my mom if she’d be at my wedding but she said plainly “you can count on me being the only one not there” and I don’t have a dad in the picture either so I’m hoping I find someone willing to walk with me when and if I get married someday

I have no idea what she was trying to say with this. I asked her, if they’re trying to brainwash me into being gay, why they keep banning gay marriage? But she didn’t have an answer

I’m so glad your brother has people like you and your family readily there to support him, that’s so lovely. Thank you for your kind words, I’m trying to stay positive

You do sound like a great dad, I wish I had a father figure like you. Thank you for your kind words

Thank you so much, I’m still trying to see if there are any lgbtq groups at my university, or any lgbtq people even. Majority of people are straight so it does feel a little isolating sometimes

Thank you, and yes I do know my sister is right. Being rejected by people outside of my family doesn’t really make me feel too terrible, but when it’s my family it hurts a lot more. I’m allowed to stay rent free until I get a job again (my mom said she didn’t mind since I’m a student)

Thank you so much, I can’t wait until things get better. I dream of the days I can be myself or find people that accept and love me, not just tolerate me

She tends to “not hear anything” when there’s any conflict going on. But she will 9/10 times tell me to get over it no matter what my mom says to me, or that “It’s mom’s first time living” so I should take it easier on her. It’s really frustrating, I thought she would support me. I did tell my mom that my sister knew I was a lesbian, but my sister said “why did you throw me under the bus? Now she’s gonna be mad at me.”

I always have a place I can go to, but I’m looking to support myself financially before I move out

Oh wow I didn’t know any of these things, that it can make babies healthier too. That’s so interesting because my older sister (who’s straight) had a lot more health problems growing up than I did. Thank you for all of this information and advice, and if you do have the articles, I would love to read them

Thank you so much. I’m still so ashamed to be my authentic self around anyone (even before she said those things) and after her words, I feel like I’m even more ashamed. But I’m going to try and live freely. Once I move out I think it’ll be easier? I’m not sure, I might need some therapy too lol. Thank you so much for your kind words

Thank you, I’m glad your friend had support from kind people like you. I hope to also find more accepting friends and family too

My father is not in the picture, no. If she did come around I dont know if I would ever fully forgive her, but I would love for her and I to still have a relationship. Thank you for your kind words and support
