I don't believe in hell or heaven, except as an abstract concept, i.e., a horrible place is hellish, a candy store where you don't have to pay is heaven. It just ticks me off that they like to shove it in my face that they think I'm going to hell, since to them that means I'm an awful, terrible, no good, rotten person. It's like they think it's fun to push it in my face. Um, yeah I just started rambling too much, but the long and the short of it is that I don't think there's a physical place called hell. ------------------ "I never said I was a boy." - Tenoh Haruka, episode 92, Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon IP: Logged |

Don't feel so bad about having a double life. You said that your school is very homophobic, so maybe the reason you don't say anything at school is because it's a safety issue. Not many people at my school know I'm bi,and a lot of that has to do with the fact that the majority of my school is made up of homophobic rednecks (not a good combination!)So for me it is a safety thing.

Ahhhhhg!!!! Double lifing sux! Last year I dated a Fundamentalist Christian misogynist while crushing on a lez girl who also liked me. I was on a date with him one night around Christmas at the ice rink and I saw her. He was skating alone so she and I started talking about IT. I told her I was lez and we started playing in each others hair and he was watching. His face went sort of white and he didn't talk to me the rest of the night. Hasn't called since. And the girl moved to Wisconsin so I'm single again :-( IP: Logged |

Hello, I completely know where you're coming from. At school I completely and totally act like I'm straight because the people at my school are sooooo homophobic it's not funny. No one in my family knows that I'm bi, I haven't even told my closest freinds that I've seen. But when I get home and I get on-line, I start talking to people from the different RPG's I'm in and I've told 3 people, all of us in different countries that I'm bi, and I took the risk of them accepting me or not because I don't have to face them every day, but I know the 'slings and arrows' I'd have to face if anyone at my school heard. And, like, it's getting a bit harder every day just not yell it out over the p.a system because it's driving me crazy not telling people the whole truth about me. But some of the people that I hang around with every day have expressed their anxieties and phobias of gays and anyone who isn't hetero. But it's getting harder to hide from them, ever since puberty my voice has been getting closer to that of a stereotypical gay guy, the way that I act, the things I have interest in, I don't think that I can stand it much more, it's like living a lie. I think the only reason that I'll make it until next year is because I'm a natural born actor, but.....I'm so unsure of what to do.... ------------------ IP: Logged |

wow... I feel so sorry for all of you. I mean, I'm not very open about it or anything, but I know a couple open lesbians at my school and not that many people care. I mean, my school isn't free of homophobes, but it would be so weird to me if I couldn't tell people about all the girls I like... I mean, basically all my friends know (none of them care) and a couple other people at school know too. I guess I do live in a pretty liberal town though. Actually, the guys at our school are a lot worse than the girls--I feel sorry for my one gay guy friend, because if any guys knew, it would be hell for him. Oh well, the running opinion here is that people don't mind if you're gay, they just think it's a sin and that's your problem if you go to hell. I still wish people would get over the whole issue of who you're attracted to though, because I mean, you love who you love. IP: Logged |

i am fully free of the double life and damn happy about it too  i came out to my friends about a year ago and my mom and brother about a month ago. they're still trying to deny it, but at least i've crossed that hurdle. i remember last year i still was only out online. it was like my haven because i knew quite a few bisexual girls online and figured they wouldn't mind about one more. i didn't lose any friends. i don't know, i guess it was just easier that way at the time.and TenohSetsuna, not to be off-topic but i LOVE Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon. especially Haruka. mrow. -.^ ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yeah, I totally known what you mean about the double life. It's veeerry wierd. In my mind, all the time I'm thinking about it, and I'm almost surprised nobody's asked me. Actually, one person has. She's not the nicest person. I didnt admit I was at the time she asked, and (of course) i said no. It was because I was saying lots of stuff about it in health class (of course that has nothing to do with it, but anyway.) I have told a few people who I know in real life. I'm pretty open on the internet, and with a couple of close friends. Nobody at my school knows, but I think they all pretty much thought I was in the beggining, even when I wouldn't admit it. I really wish I hadnt told anybody. Not that anyone was mean, or anything, but I'm not sure yet, and what if I change my mind? IP: Logged |
