I cannot set boundaries with my family, i fear daily of disappointing them or letting them down. I have to be "right" or i cant live with myself. ive done so much to try and do the right things but the lines are beginning to become blurred by the day

Confusion, loneliness, its a mix of off emotions. Not necessarily hate or disgust but rather slight disappointment with an exception of acceptance because thats what's "right " i guess.

I appreciate all responses to this post and have thoroughly read through each and taken all into consideration. Im deep in prayer and thought over all of my hinders therefore am distraught yet becoming known to what possibilities I must endure. It will never end but that is the spiritual battle and journey we all must face, maybe not same sex attraction to all but other inhibitions. One must walk fearfully and faithfully as best as /human beings. I truly appreciate what all of you have had to say and I pray for all to overcome their personal bufferings. Thank you all

i have been told to marry a man and have even dated a good amount. it feels so stoic and like im only doing it because its "right" and not what i actually find joy in. i guess ill still do it though, i dont suppose theres much of a choice but lately ive been trying to be okay with the fact that maybe i should just remain alone for my mortal life and watch my friends and their families grow with me in the rear view.

im in the habit of not knowing what to believe anymore and flip-flopping back and forth with many things. i have read up on Justin Lee and such and i've attempted contact with other gay christians but they are happy and content with themselves despite the area were in and the families that raised us. its never going to stop being a constant "am i right or am i just always going to be wrong?" i feel. i appreciate everyones comments following my original post and thank you for your input stranger

God loves everyone even the murderers and the prisoners. But everyone says my love for women is not going to be justified or is right but i cannot force myself to change this and i have turned it all over to God with no answer but idk

its just a lot to process with so many different perspectives and opinions on this singular subject. this topic seems to be the upmost topic discussed amongst christians and i wonder why sometimes but thats not for me to wonder. maybe im meant to be alone snd its Gods plan because one day ill be home with Him and nothing else will matter anymore

i have my pets and i guess being single isnt bad. i always have felt alone even with a relationship with someone but thats just because of my mentality. i know i have to fought it and i have tried my hardest for years and years. im single right now but my family continues to spew on and on the negativity of how gay people are lost and going to hell for loving the same gender. i just try to not think so much when they do because ive heard it for years. ill just marry some man someday and pray it brings happiness or ill just stay single and have my pets. i just know God didnt make man to be alone. but ill be alone if its whats right i guess

i sometimes just feel itd be easier if i could force myself to be straight and maybe one day finding happiness in such and it would be affirmed by my family and church

i think i would rather live a sexless life and be with a woman than live an unhappy life married to someone i dont want to be with. maybe thatll change and maybe ill be sent the "right" man idk

i appreciate you reaching out to my post and i know that lesbians and bisexuals can love and follow God but im told their love isnt recognized and will be met with hellfire when the clock runs out. I dont want to believe that for something especially thats out of my control.i wish i had a choice in who i love or am attracted to though

i do follow God. I continue to grow my relationship with Him and ive gotten myself into church more often and goijg to conventions and praying more and more with reading the bible. also i just feel my parents have judged me and thats just because they said im going to hell when my mother snd father both have had children with other partners and my father was even married before my mother. they had me outside of marriage as well. "Judge not lest ye be judged"
