I come from a religious LDS family and I am gay

I come from a religious LDS family. I’m gay. My family doesn’t want to accept me for being Vegetarian (seriously there is nothing wrong with valuing life). My family forces me to go to church and seminary. With the world growing more accepting each and every day, all they want to talk about is homosexuality. Every time they do unknowingly they hurt me. Every day I grow more and more depressed. I want to tell my family but they won’t understand. The fear I have of losing the only people that “love” me is enough to make me lie. For now, I am scared and alone and, I am lying to everyone including myself.

  1. You have the right to feel that way. It is very difficult living in a place who never acknowledges your true self.
