the truth of living with religious parents being gay

[@jman8449]

My brother and best friend are both bisexual and neither of them are out to their parents because of this. I’m sorry for what you went through but I’m proud of you for getting to the other side. Never ever stop being you, never ever compromise for nobody. All love

[@matthewsypert]

Thank you for sharing and the kind words :)

[@munmilks]

i feel you bro.. i'm really glad that you can somehow accept the situation as it is and not let it affect you as much as it did in the past. it takes a lot of courage to do that!

[@matthewsypert]

Thank you! 🥹 it’s honestly been a LONG journey to reach this point.

Thank you for sharing your story. I found healing and identity in Christ as an adult who didn’t grow up in religion. I know nothing in this world will ever ultimately satisfy my soul. But I found rest in the love of Christ.

thank you for sharing. That were some pretty difficult circumstances...and I think you dealt with them pretty well. Thank you for reminding me (and others) that whilst we may feel alone in our struggles, that ultimately, we are not alone, and from that, we may take solace. Thank you so much.

[@matthewsypert]

I really try! 🥹 I mean, we all need positivity when going through struggles. Im glad to hear I’m helping in some way :)

I and someone else I've gotten to know over the past 2 years seem to be going through this shift in life to. (We've talked about how it seems like people similar to us are going through this shift too.) It's like we're craving this independence in our future, you could almost say we're yearning for it just like a lil romance to be a positive pick-me-up to help during the dull days. I'm trying to figure out how best to express my queerness myself, kinda don't know where to start. I kinda have a divided house when it comes to parents, I wouldn't need to go out of my way to tell both of them anything about myself, I'm kinda the person that thinks "hey, if they find out they find out." I don't feel like I should explain it but I will if I'm asked about it. Tis my life so I shall do as I wish when it concerns myself solely. (But obviously mention things that could affect them if needs be.) Next year is a year for you (all of us.) I hope you feel the progress of your efforts for your future self, romanticise that person, it's a sexy thought right?!? You being free financially stable and just gobsmacked every time you're alone with yourself and you think "I really did it, I'm living the life I was day dreaming about" and it's literally just some simple ass stuff we hold so near and dear to us. Just wanting to be comfortable. God this world is something 😭 but I truly hope for a future for you that brings you peace and joy!!! You remind me too much of me and friend just yapping about life and wanting that self dependability and I'm cheering for you in your endeavours!!!🤎

[@matthewsypert]

My heart is with you too.💗 thank you, I appreciate knowing I’m not alone, hearing this is so impactful for me. Too real on us fantasizing about the simplest things 😭 We will get there!!

I wish I had the confidence to be who I am like you I’ve been masking my whole life cause of my religious parents but I just can’t come out to them even at 21

[@matthewsypert]

And that’s okay!! Everyone is on a different timeline :) and you don’t owe to them either! there’s power in choice, whenever is the correct time for you individually is the perfect time
