yah

I thought I'd alreadt posted a reply on here as a fellow bi Christian. Hmmm looks like for whatever reason hootoo didn't paly ball. I'll come back and give the advice I tried to give earlier again later.

thanks

um did you forget. If you did its not a big deal but I thougt I'd bump this to remind you.

Didn't forget just been rather busy IRL

Ok I think I can find a little time.

For starters like you I was a Christian first and then as I grew into a sexual being the real battle, in my head commenced, commenced. Bit of background my father was a church elder and captain of the Boys Brigade so you. Both Grandfathers were also Churhc Elders and mum and dad bothed helped to run the Alpha course. So you can see just how steeped in Christianity I was and indeed still am. There's the crux of it. You may at the moment think that you have to give up your religion just because of who you are, or give up who you are because of your religion, it has taken me a while to find that both are actually acheiveable at the same time.

On your side is your youth. My current b/f was 'out' about 2/5ths of the way through his life that I was when I finally got to point of knowing where I stood and being able to tell others. It may be a generational thing but I'm glad the acceptance that we can know what our sexuality is at a younger age is now more accepted. Be happy about that.

As I've said elsewhere you can find support in all sorts of places, not necessarily on the scen that is able to help. As a former curator here at M2M2 myself this is when it kicks into gear one such place as there is such a diversity of experiences floating around.

As I've also said earlier we tend of think of coming out as possibly something bigger than it actually is, at least now. Both my parents and the rest of my family were amazingly cool about it. My firneds carried on treating me as one of the lads. The guys I played sport with carried on jesting with me about conquests etc but with a knowing smile, and boy did they ever jump in to protect me if someone else started anything.

Your true friends won't care they like you for being you. Your family should always love you as their own and if not at first just carry on loving them and they'll find it hard not to love you back. Life is for living not hiding away. Being bi-sexual is only a part of who you are it's not hte be all and end all there is more to you than that and by just carrying on as you although now open about your sexuality nothing much should change.

Hope that helps and if you want anything else just holler.
