Regarding, RTerroni (who has been reported by the looks of it).

I respect your opinion, but, I didn't post this thread to start an argument on gay marriage, I never mentioned anything about gay marriage either, only relationships and attraction. My point was why do people in the church discriminate different sexualities, genders when God himself would never do such a thing. I've prayed multiple times to God, asking him if this is who I really am and I know for sure that I was made this way for a reason and I have come to terms with it, I just wish other people would be more accepting regardless on the views about same-sex marriage.

For me, marriage is just a concept, like the concept of time and I think anyone can get married. (People have gotten married to buildings - why is gay marriage still illegal?). And it annoys me that love should even have restrictions regarding the law, I don't care whether you oppose it or not, but to make it illegal by law? Really?

Also, I never mentioned that I want to get married, just because I'm in a relationship with someone doesn't mean I want to get married, marriage is a serious dedication and should be decided by both partners. Plus I'm in Australia where same-sex marriage illegal in pretty much all states, but that's not going to stop me from being in a relationship.

I respect your opinion, but it doesn't help the situation that I am in.

I'm stuck in a homophobic home and I am trying so hard to keep my sexuality to myself because there is a possible risk of me being kicked out or rejected by my own family (and friends) if I ever came out. It's something I've been struggling with for ages, and let me tell you, it is not easy. I have no one to turn to and it hurts because I have to lie to people, which is something I hate, I have to pretend I'm anything but gay, all because I fear rejection.
