I recently just found out that I am gay, and I really want to "come out" to the rest of my family - but the problem is were Roman Catholic, and in my religion it is a DEALY sin to be gay, and also I'm afraid that they wont accept me for who I truly am as a person. I've heard my family say some degrading things about gay people, they treat them like they have the plauge, so if I come out to them I'm afraid I might get kicked out of my family. I can't go anywhere either, all of my family friends, and friends are homophobes because of what society or the media tells them. It will be just such a great feeling to get this off my chest, but I'm afraid of the consequences. Thank you guys for understanding. (link)

IT IS A VICIOUS WORLD. I totally relate to what you are going through. I am from a ROMAN CATHOLIC family too. Aside from the our society here looks with disdain to people with this kind of feeling. I am NOT a butch but i do feel strongly to other women. Infact most of my beft relationships were with same sex. I have had boyfriends too trying to fit the mold, I did like the feeling but it was tiring & not fulfilling. It is only with a relationship with a woman that I feel great. I think I am BI too. Maybe the best thing to do for now is DON'T ROCK THE BOAT yet UNLESS of course, you really want to come out. I personally think sometimes even if we don't say anything they will still have an OPINION about us. The best thing to do right now, is surround yourself with people who can relate to you. Or seek guidance from online advice columns, exchange emails. Also this might be a cliche for you but PRAYER is also a tool to give you light.
