Hi, I'm starwarsfan, otherwise know as Mackenzie. I'm a 13 year old lesbian girl with one heck of a backstory, so buckle up!
I was raised in a ultra conservative household, and was, from birth (not kidding, my grandma turned my carrier around so I didn't see two girls kissing at the age of 3 weeks old) taught that gays were evil, and they would molest me, and rape me, mostly by my grandma, who is INCREDIBLY homophobic. I was also born with disabilitys, and I remember one time when my grandma said I'd be a "prime target for conversion by the gays", all because I can't see or hear too good. I was also taught by my grandpa that all gays needed, and I quote "a bullet in their heads, and a one way trip to hell". So yeah, when I finally figured out I was gay, then came the self loathing. I hated myself. I almost committed suicide 2 times. I never cut, but I would slam my head into the wall to try and fix my brain. I thought I was a freak, and that I needed to go to hell. To this day, no one in my family knows this. I have very recently come to terms with the fact I am normal. I'm still trying to figure everything out. I have not come out yet just because I may know my grandparents view of homosexuality, but I don't know my parents. They basically vote for anyone who has a R by their name. I have no idea what they believe. I mostly came here for a community, to find people like me and to make friends. I hope you guys like me.

Mackenzie,
Welcome to the boards!! You were right, you do have one heck of a backstory!! But the way I see it, is that everything you went through as a child, and everything you were taught by your grand parents has only made you stronger, and more accepting of the LGBT Community, and also yourself. I had a similar childhood in regards to the way my family felt about LGBT individuals. Just know that not everyone is like that. As times are changing, and generations are changing the world, as a whole, is becoming more LGBT friendly!
~Matt
