Wow, two fellow Nashville natives in a row! And both from conservative religious families like mine. As hard as it may have been for both of them, it was exponentially harder for someone of my generation growing up in the early 70s. I’m glad to know of others who have persevered and are living their authentic selves at a much younger age than I was able to.
I am very proud of you. I am sorry fir how you were Outed, but I am glad it turned out as well as it did. Welcome to "The Family". for we gays a lot of time get, or have to choose our families. Proud you are being You.
Real love is not a sin. The one called Jesus was not exclusive, he spent time with prostitutes, tax collectors and Roman soldiers. He wasn't accepted by the religious people of the time either. Some anti-gay Christians cherry pick bible verses to suit their belief. From the book Leviticus: 20:13 “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.” The problem for these anti-gay Christians is that they ignore the other Leviticus verses. 20:9 He who curses his mother or father shall be put to death. 20:10 Adulterer and adulteress shall be put to death. 20:14 If a man takes a wife and mother… they shall be burned with fire. Chapters 1 - 9 are all about animal sacrifice with a priesthood making sin and burnt offerings for atonement. Chapter 15 is about male seminal discharges (venereal disease). If the man touches an earthen vessel it shall be broken. A sin offering and a burnt offering shall make the atonement. The Old testament is about the history of the Jewish people. Humanity is evolving technologically and it needs to evolve spiritually as well. Throwing blood on the alter, animal sacrifice, burnt offerings for atonement, breaking a dish if a man has a venereal disease and being anti-gay were all wrong ideas.
Oh I am sure they knew But couldn’t deal. Oh & tell them to stop reading old fairy tales er I mean the Bible.those bible thumpers give me a pain in my .......

You break up with a guy and then let him drive back to school with you? Not very smart. You need to grow up. You don't seem stupid.
Come on he was 18
