Alright. So, my post down below titled, Being Gay Is Not a Choice, gives a distorted, or rather, uninformative view on the way I look at my family. I love my family very much and if you are gay, or know someone who is gay, you will know how much tension “coming out” can bring on a family.
In my blog about choosing to be gay, I said, and I quote: “I also know that my family thinks I am going to hell for this.” This statement is true. My family and I all know that these words have been said and/or implied. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t love me and that I don’t love them with every fiber of my being.
Yes, we are usually in arguments, debates, or fights recently but that is to be expected when I am going with a lifestyle that they never, and will never approve of. I know that I can be irrational sometimes when it comes to arguing with them and I get mad and snap but I just get caught up in the emotional aspect of it all.
There is no one in this world that I love more than my family. Even though we are going through a rough patch, I know they will be there for me if I need them. I am still the same person I have always been and they know this. Sometimes, in life, there are subjects that family will not agree on. This is one of them. I don’t want you, the reader, to think I hate my family because nothing is further from the truth. I may say I hate them, or that they are annoying me out of frustration but it is impossible to literally hate them. They are my family and they will be there when friends come and go. This is just a (large) speed bump in our relationships and I know that they want the best for me and that is why they are so disappointed in the choice I have made to come out, and to come out so publically and with such force.
I will say once again, I love my family with all my heart. Though harsh words have been spoken lately, I want to make it clear how I really feel about them.
