Last night, I survived 6 hours of questions and lecturing from a church official who said, among other things, that I’m sick and need help for being a lesbian. The worst part is how calm and convincing he sounded. My parents talked to me too. They don’t want me to leave the religion, and say I have to break up with my girlfriend. I don’t want to but they’ve got me scared God will destroy me. It’s clear in the Bible that He hates homosexuality and will destroy any unrepentant sinners; I grew up with these verses. I’m so lost. There’s no good choice. No matter what, I lose either my family or my friends. How will I be happy? I can’t even kill myself because life is sacred and suicide is a sin.
