hi I'm Lucy, 19 from Australia.
I've been raised in a Christian family my whole life, I've only been out to my
family since 2006, and although they are very supportive i still don't feel i
can come to them about any of the worries i as a young Christian lesbian have,
so I guess that's why I'm here, just to talk and listen....

just thought id introduce myself. im brittany and im 19 and a lesbian and am
very active in church... they disagree with it though. lookin to meet new
people. :)

hi troy its a pleasure to meet you...well lately i just wish i had someone i can
talk to and be here so i wont feel so lost and alone...what about u tell me
about ur self hope all is well take care

>Hey Tyler. May I ask how you found out you were gay 8 months ago. Your young
yet and it is normal to question your sexualality. If your by/gay that is cool
but it sounds to me like you still may be confused about this. You should really
try and find someone who you can really talk to. It's hard for me to explain
what I'm trying to say since I really dont know that much about you so if you
want feel free to email me.

hello group! i am new to this group. any kinda tips of how you guys opperate or
anything would be greatly appreciated!!! btw: im 18 gay male from pennsylvania.
hope to talk to you guys soon, and enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!!

jon!

hey andrew im troy. im 24 from utah and i would love to help you out if i can.

WOW Tyler!! You have some guts! lol. I guess you are lucky though. I have never
told anyone that I am gay. Everyone who knows the "physical" me thinks I am
straight but doesn't have an interest in relationships. You said you found out a
year ago, do you mind telling how you found out? I remember when I was younger,
I used to look at magazines. I used to like looking at females. Then I got in
trouble for doing that by my parents. So, I started looking at guys. Because I
was better at hiding it, I began to like guys all around and not just in
magazines. I don't think I am ever going to tell anyone in the real world. not
till I am REALLY old and it doesn't even matter anymore. lol

Hi, my name is tyler too! Im 14 years old and found out I was gay last year.
I really didnt have to worry about telling my mom If I was gay, because the
principal told her for me, and she asked me right up straight. Now, I didnt
say that she's ok with it....she still wants to make up these fantasies that
Im straight, and will get married, and give her grandchildren. Im just gonna
let her think whatever she wants, so when I tell her im in Canada married to
a man, she'll be that much more shocked.

hii im Lawrence im 15 from North Carolina. I am also gay and out!! I was in the
closet for a year and came "out" when i was 12 !! The first person i came out to
was my bestest frann in the whole wide world Brittany!! When you first come out
to the closest people you know the initial reaction is shock but when they get
to know what being gay is they'll love you for you not what other people want
you to be!!! I find its easier to come out to other out gays, because they can
give you guidance and they make really good franns = )!!! They give you help and
support with issues you may face and make coming out to other people easier!!!
btw im silliebillie's son!!!!! Well if you have any other questions just email
me at luvtotalk1994@... thanks

Hey, glad to see that you found out who you are. Dont worry, youre not evil.
Believe me, accepting this part of yourself is a great spiritual step.
Learning to accept what God made you helps you to become more in tune with
God.
Standing against the controvery of the church really helps to strengthen you
spiritually and confirm your identidy and true self. Remember, we are all
divine, and god is within all of us. He revels himself in different ways to
different people.


Thanks,
T

People sometimes ask what the 10-20 means in 10-20 Gay Christian Teens.  One
obvious answer may be ages... but there aren't too many 10 year olds floating
around here, and people in their 20s often post.  We have lots more than 10-20
members [there are 4,172 of us :)].  We're getting close to our 10 year
anniversary (Feb. 10th, 2011... be there!), maybe that's it.

What different meanings do YOU think can be found in 10-20?

Tyler just be yourself. ou will know when the time is right to tell your
parents. Dont have a set time just let things happen as they are ment to happen.
I told myself I was going to tell my mom at 18 and I ended up telling her at 14

Hello,
My name is Alex, I am relatively new to this group. I am 19 years old, 2nd year
at the local community college, coming out of the closest fresh out of high
school. I have friends that are mainly acquaintances, however I do not have
friends that I can easily just talk to, most specifically about my faith and
such. I try to pray about it, knowing that God is like my best friend, but he
has yet to send someone on Earth to be my true best friend. Which best describes
my loneliness lately. But I am here to talk to anyone and I would be more than
glad if anyone is open to talking to me.

In Christ,
Alex

Hi I'm Andrew and I'm 18 and I'm just reaching out for support and am willing to
discuss anything.  I am out of the closet for some people and know God loves me
but life is still hard.

hey guys im troy. im 24 and i just told my mom 2 weeks ago. i just started
dealing with my same sex attraction in february so im still pretty new also. i
think the biggest help for me has been making friends with people and getting
out of the "im alone" feelings. cuz there are lots of guys out there that
struggle with the same things you struggle with and just being able to talk it
out is awesome. i'd be more than happy to answer any questions too! :)

Um hey im Valeria.
I'm 17 and also bi lol
i know what your going through so if u want to talk
im all up for it :)

Hey Alexis my name is LeAnn just call me Lee if u like. I do not know what your

attracted to women and those feelings just grew more the older I became. I doubt
that your feelings are just now being noticed by you. It is unknown to me where
you are from, but I know many coutries are not as accepting of same-sex
attractions as the USA or Canada are at present. Are these feelings un wanted by
you or do you like the new freedoms to learn more about these feelings? either
way talking with someone understanding or to a therapist is usually a good idea.

   Hey my name is shayn i'm a 19 year old christian. It can be hard some times. I
know that god loves me and you. but you will have many so called christians say
some nasty things to you, like my old pastor confronted me in front of my youth
group about being gay he told me it was a sin and that i'm going to hell. I
smiled and told him that a sin was equal and that he is not sin free and god
loves all no matter what they are.(Gay or straight) He asked me to leave and not
come back but i didn't let that bother me and no matter what one person says. Be
strong for you self and other.

Hey everyone, my name is Bobby, I'm a 19 year old gay guy... and I am thinking
about converting to Christianity.

I was raised Christian, but when I was 15 I left it because I felt like God
couldn't exist if he would make me gay and tell me I am going to hell for being
who I am.  I'm considering becoming Christian again, but I think I'm going to
need help getting to that place.

Thank you.
