Well, today I headed over to a (male) friend's house to hang out for a while. And he told me that he liked me. I was a bit excited, but not TOO muchly so. Later we were talking and for some reason I asked him about what he thought of Gay Rights. He told me he thought it was wrong and sick. He said it was against God and the bible said not to and that it disgusted him. He said it was the same with lesbians. He said that God put people on earth to procreate and that gay and lesbians were bad. Then I asked him what he thought of Bisexuals. (I am bi, but in the closet) He said that he thought that they were confused. That no one could just wake up one morning and like women, then the next day like men. He said they were just trying to get attention. After bashing them, he then got this funny look on his face and said "You're not bi, are you?" i laughed (fakely) and said "What would you do if I was?" as if it were somejoke. He continued to pester me about it, and i just laughed it off and avoided the question. Niw i feel like such a coward.... Later on his brother was asked the same thing. He immediatly responded that lesbians were fine, but if he ever say a gay guy he would pull out his knife and cut the man's throat!! I must have looked shocked or scared (Because i was!!) so he said quickly that that was only if the man tried to make a move on him. Needless to say i was kind of cold and withdrawn the rest of the night. Later on the first boy was asking me something, and i was trying my beset to smooth things over, so I responded jokingly that i only liked girls. He once again got this really nasty, odd look on his face. He said in a low voice "Well, i'll just have to change that. I disapprove." (something along those lines.) I responded "You're NOT my father." it came out EXTREMELY cold sounding, and to be honest, I was both shocked and proud of myself. Shocked, because im usually very calm and good at hiding when im upset or angry, and even at that, i almost never get angry. And proud because, even though it was indirectly, I stood up for both myself and something i believe in! Later, when I left and went home i mentioned it to my mom, and asked her what she thought of Gay Rights. She said that she thought it was wrong and that she didn't understand gay people. She said she thought they shouldnt be allowed to get married because it is against God and the bible condems it. She said a few more things on the matter, but i was finding it hard to concentrate on them; I was too busy trying to hide my tears. For some reason, that just hit me SO hard, my own mother condeming me! I had to make up some lame excuse that my contacts were bothering me and that was why my eyes were tearing up. I feel so crushed right now. I one night, both my friends and my mother (who i am closer to than anyone else in this world) have told me that who I am...is sick, wrong, against the bible and God (I'm a very devoted Chrisian), and disgusting. So now....I just don't know what to do.
