You begin to wonder just how far simple 'faith' can take you.
I was raised under a very strict christian roof and I turned out to be a lesbian. I have yet to come out to my family simply because of the fact that I lack moral value and I want their financial support.
The other day, while on the phone with my mother, I mentioned the joke of a gay friend of mine, and she began to spurt the most distasteful and hateful things about him and gayness in general. She ended her tyrade with a nice cherry topping of, Oh well, they'll burn in hell anyway.
it has more to do with the current media atmosphere than the actual feelings of the people I work with.
As the lesbian daughter of a woman who once told me that she would love me no matter what and support me in all I do, I can't help but wonder if she would continue to feel this way if I tell the truth. I'm actually scared to find out.
