I never know what to do with myself when I hear stories like this. It makes me want to get up and physically scream to the world "Do you see what is happening!? See how very wrong it is and what is done to people!?". I want to live in a world in which no one has to come out... in which the term itself isn't necessary because there's no need to hide in the first place. This insistence on making the world a hostile place by condemning everyone we don't identify with is just - I can't even. I'm sorry that your in this situation. This specific situation, your family, and the environment you live in. Where you're coming from doesn't change the fact you're oppressed. And that's not right. Anyway, I don't know what to say, I'm not very good at these things. I think that it was brave of you to say something and stand up for what you believe in. Really, good on you *hugs*
Also, just for the record, that picture is beautiful.
I never know either, lol. I have so many emotions but my fingers are all WHAT HOW IS LANGUAGE FORMED on the keyboard. You're right, the only reason there's a closet to "come out" of is *because* the "rest of the house" gives reason to hide there. I have so little patience for the "why do *they* have to come out? why can't they just keep it to themselves like everybody else?" because I'm like. "To do the things you don't even think about, SUCH AS filling out a damn eHarmony profile or get married. Or pick up someone at a bar and dance. Or get dressed. And when someone does DO do those things, YOU make it a big deal with your rude questions and comments so someone HAS to admit - because they "owe" to the world in your mind - and label who they are." But this is a society that has enough problems admitting women have any agency in their sexuality at all so. Ugh

" For not getting my wall up fast enough. For believing that little bit that I could expect more. This is so sad, that you actually feel hurt by not being as detached as great part of this fucked up world is. I can block out these hateful things many of the times, but I can't block out the effect it has on people like you

As soon as I realized I accidentally replied en masse I knew there was going to be trouble. If you have enough hate to start a text campaign you have no problem going after people you don't know who go against your massive list. I bet these people honestly believe they are soliders of god taking down me, the enemy, and patting themselves on the back for their courageous efforts. Like they know anything about war. I had one voicemail that was JUST a litany of bible verses. It's hard not to retaliate because there is no changing these peoples' minds. Certainly not over a phone convo with someone they already see as a sinner. Definitely if they found out the sinner was gay. And ALL I freaking did was imply I didnt like these. For all they know I just don't like chain mails ffs. But the idea that they might be wrong terrifies them, that they AREN'T superior, that they aren't better than someone "clearly nothing like them" terrifies them because then they'd have to look at themselves and see what horrible, insecure, unworthy people they

Ugh, this is so horrible. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this because it's just...it's wrong. It's wrong that it happens and that you have to deal with it. Just because some people have it worse doesn't diminish the pain that you're going through by having to deal with this. *hugs*
I'm also sorry it's taken me this long to see this, but my computer is away for repairs
Jesus, I'm sorry. This is bad enough from complete strangers but... jesus this just isn't Fair. I know life isn't, but the reality of it just likes to kick in the teeth now and then
