Personal stuff, and apology.

The year is 2016. This year, I developed completely different worldviews and beliefs, for better and for worse. I now realize how awful the religious community I'm a part of can be and how exclusive and hateful they can be, and for years they've been force feeding me lies and that I have to deny the stuff I like and my own identity just so I can please society, otherwise I'm apparently going to hell. I want to apologize if I've ever made any of you uncomfortable by expressing my religious beliefs at the time, or if I've ever said something wrong or hateful. I've changed a lot since then. I believe that everyone deserves to be loved no matter what, and it doesn't matter what someone's beliefs or preferences are, they're just as human as the rest of us. For years I've been denying my own identity and I think it's time that I should to come out and tell you all that I'm accepting who I am. I am bisexual/asexual... or uh... I guess biromantic is a better way to put it. I live in a community that looks down upon those who are different in this aspect, and it's gotten a lot harder for me now that I'm starting to solidify this about myself. Every day now, I have to lie about who I am just so I won't get spat on by my family or the community I'm a part of, and it makes me sick to think that just because I was born this way, people have the right to treat me like trash. Everyone thinks that being LGBT is a choice, but I never chose to be like this... I hope you all can understand and accept me now that you know the truth... I trust every single one of you and I don't know what I'd do without you guys...

I dropped going to church 'cause it made my depression worse. So please, feel free to distance yourself away from it. If someone bugs you about it, you could say, 'That church no longer fits me.' I tell people that and they just started naming other ones, 'better ones'.
Anyways, I'll always be your friend (unless you start being hella rude, but I don't see that happening, you seem pretty chill). I would also never hate 'cause of your sexuality. Cause that would be like hating myself, because of my own sexuality (asexual/pan? idk still :D).

Man, you always have friends here. And I can't think of a time when you might have said anything at all hateful. I know how it feels to feel separated from my community. But you'll always be one of us, Aura,

I'm sorry you have to live like that :< But you're always one of us. Many, many others here have had similar struggles. Religion is meant to soothe the spirit. So if it doesn't, you'll likely be happier without it.
