I am a gay female Mormon

First, I’d like to say hello to anyone who happens to read this. I’m a seventeen-year-old vegetarian gay female. I come from a Mormon religious family and, I’ve just discovered that I am in fact gay. Every Sunday I am forced to go to church and, at school I am forced to participate in seminary. And with the growing acceptance happening worldwide, that’s all they ever want to talk about. Every time they talk about homosexuality it’s like another needle stabbing in my side. I want to tell them but, the fear of losing a family is far too great. They will never understand. I feel alone and trapped. Growing more depressed every day. One question always comes to mind. Why is it so “wrong” to love?

  1. I’m also Mormon and bisexual. I don’t really believe in the religion and got baptized for my sister. They say they are accepting of lgbt+ but then they told us to get help if we have these feelings. Love is complicated.
