Answer 1

It's a shame but you don't have to tell everyone everything. But basically, people that don't respect your beliefs may not respect you. If you are not respected, then you need to look for more like-minded people. You have chosen a hard path. Perhaps when you finish school and are ready to go out in the world, you can move to a place that will have more people that are to your liking. My nephew is gay and he likes Fort Lauderdale. I'm sure there are many places where you can feel comfortable with your choices and live a full life. Right now the important thing is to finish school so that you can move on to that good life. My advice is to keep your mouth shut so that you have some company and are not so lonely-and that's just to get thru school. I don't like to tell anyone that but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Even if you keep your mouth shut, I've found that most gay people are obvious-from just a little to very-still obvious so be careful. People in a university are still growing and learning and so immature and that's why you need to be careful. It seems you can discuss differences in religion-with some people-but discussions about gay people can be deadly. Don't let them get you down. Keep your eye on your future and make some good plans. It will all work out and you will be happy.

Answer 2

The fact that you're gay proves the error of your religion. I know a lot of Catholic people who have the same values as the rest of the atheists. In my protestant church, there are actually missionaries who travel around converting Catholics in S. America. It's a good thing that your country is becoming protestant. Catholicism is a virus. Much like a Trojan horse email, it's sent to millions of people every day promising salvation, but all they get are a bunch pagan rituals and the "Virgin Mary" where Jesus should be. Most are baptised before they are even conscious, and if they join the church as an adult, they're told the way to heaven is through good deeds. PS: don't put two periods after every sentence.

Answer 3

Tebone gives a good answer. I have been a Christian most of my life. I spent 33 years as a Protestant. During that time I loved the churches I went to but I always had questions. I used to be a vehement anti-Catholic. Then one day I realized I had come to accept Catholics as my brothers in Christ. I went on that way for a while and then began to feel a desire to go to mass. I went and loved it. I came to realize that I could find no reason to deny that the Catholic church was the original church. When I realized that I began to wonder why I was not going there. If God created the Catholic church and I wanted to follow God then shouldn't I be going there? I am now in the process of becoming a Catholic. It is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am so glad God called me home. I can't imagine ever leaving His church for any reason.

Answer 4

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry I feel the same way but, I am emo and people seem to hate me anyway. If people do that to you and you don't stick up for yourself then your gonna be a wimp. sweetie I would stand up for that be proud that your gay and catholic! My friend is bi and I have gay friends I know exactly how you feel. You are not alone my friend! Speak to people tell them what is going on if they don't even listen don't worry! People are jerks and selfish! I don't find very many people like you and I want you to be happy! Speak up for yourself don't let others put you down. (this coming from an emo how ironic). I can tell your a very good person speak up and prove those retards wrong!

Answer 5

Ummm protestants shouldent think that either they still follow the bible. Listen ok your gay....that in the eyes of God is a sin. BUT so is cursing or murder or stealing or jealousy and the list goes on for bad thing. None is worse than the others. You shouldent worry about the followers and just focus on your relationship with God anything else doesent matter. If they are your friends by the way...they will respect you and know they shouldent cast judgment.....remember let he who is within cast the first stone.......Oh this i have to add to the post above me.....yes that was old school the old testament but in the new testament rules change. EVERYONE has a chance at redemption and all sins are already paid for. Witches shouldent be put to death anymore.....they should be treated kindly homosexuals the same and all other sinners ALLLL the same.

Answer 6

Its amazing how the Catholic church is against gays. Consider it a sin. How hypocritical when the majority of priests are gay. I personally like to go to different churches. Also a born catholic I have found the church and the service to be quite boring. Protestant, Church of all faiths, etc. are very informative and entertaining. They all believe in the same God, so I suggest you try them. You may find them to be more to your liking.

Answer 7

I've often wondered what effect the gay rights movement is having south of the border. Try being Atheist and Gay. They'd be REALLY convinced of your demon possession.

Consider that you (like me) may have to wait until after college to move to a bigger city where you can come out socially. If you cannot transfer earlier, it won't be long before you can attend a Dignity mass in Mexico City or across the border in the US, while you attend graduate school.

Answer 8

Maybe there are some groups you can join at your university to make new friends, either a Catholic group or a Gay group, they probably don't have one for both but that'd be cool if they did.

Answer 9

if your gay and catholic, then you know what your local priest thinks and says. the pope directs that homosexuality is wrong and you will go to hell. i dont believe it, but then im a nonpracticing catholic looking for a new church. do you have to have friends based on their religion? go out and make friends by joining a sports league or something.

Answer 10

We should not put anything on you. It is not our place to do so. While I may not agree with your lifestyle, it doesn't mean you have no value to the kingdom. A lot of gay people do more for others than me. Who am I to judge? Pray to the Lord to fill your life with worthy relationships. Pray foir discernment. Pray for guidance. He hears.
