Hey! I'm a 19 year old lesbian who has been struggling with my sexuality for a very long time. About 5 years to be exact. I have a religious family & they are not supportive of my sexuality, at all. I've recently found myself kicked out of my mothers house due to my life style. I was living in my biological fathers house for a couple of months but now my lifestyle isn't welcome here either. I'm tired of having to hide who I am but I don't want to lose my family. If I want to be myself I'm left with no place to go. Except for my girlfriends house but she's in New York & I'm afraid leaving will make my relationship with my parents worse. However I really want to be happy myself. I'm stuck. I don't know what to do! Please help.

You know... When I was 18 I was going through the same thing you are going through. I was raised in a very religious family. No one accepted me for who I was. My family kicked me out, and wanted nothing to do with me. So you know what I did?? I moved to Florida to be close to my boyfriend at the time. Was it the "Smartest" thing I could have done? No, not at all. But it gave me time to be who I really was. I was able to live my life the way I wanted, without having to worry about my parents. Did it make my relationship with my parents worse? Yes. It did. But many years later, things are starting to improve. Now I can at least talk to my mother like we are both civilized adults.
With all of that being said, I would tell you that if you can move to NY! Be with your girlfriend. Don't let your parents hold you back. You will be able to be who you really are when you are not with your parents. You will be able to be happy, and free.
I hope this helps a little. Let us know how things go.

I'm a 19 year old gay guy and I have a boyfriend but I'm starting to think I'm actually bisexual. I don't know what to do because its really confusing and I just need help sorting this out.
