First time posting
Hi. My name is Lucesita Monic Gomez, and I'm a gay female. I'm 22 years old and I've been out since I was 14 years old. Since and during that time I've had no religious...no faith, rather, and now I'm thinking of being religious again. But whenever I try to, I feel I'll be kicked out just for being who I am. I come from a VERY religious family, and the ONLY person who fully knows that I'm gay is my gay cousin (she lives with her girlfriend out of town though).
I'm just wondering if I can be gay and be religious at the same time.
I can't even get a haircut because I always get a "haircut like a guy".
I feel like I always have to hide my rainbow necklace under my shirt and to wear a longsleeve shirt just to hide my rainbow bracelet I always wear.
I have a painting of a halfnude woman that my cousin gave to me, and no one said anything yet...
The thing I'd like to know is...why must I feel like I always have to hide everything? I want to be OUT. I want to show off my rainbows, I want to say "Yes, I'm gay and I'm happy the way I am"...and also...I feel like I need religion.
Is anyone here religious at all? Is anyone going through the same thing I am? How do you deal with this?
All I want is to be free.
Thanks.
