Hi!
I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jerry and I am 18 years old and I live in the Scandinavian country of Denmark. I am a homosexual but still a true believer in both Jesus and God - they comfort me and keep me safe and I am happy that they are both there for me.
Granted, my life has not always been easy. Being a closet-homosexual is hard in a society like the one we live in. I have always been homophobic and against both homosexuals and contact with other men, both verbally but also physically. This made me kind of exiled from society and unable to create my own identity. However, as I slowly began to realize who I really am I also slowly began to care for myself again.
I have been on the edge of suicide, I have cut myself and I have been angry that I was created with this kind of sexuality. I'm born into a very conservative, christian family and the christian values have meant a lot to me. I feared my parents' reactions when they found out I was a homosexual. But it was also my faith that kept me going.
I no longer talk to my parents due to them not being able to accept my sexuality, but I cannot change who I am. I'm no less person than anyone else and I am as good a person and christian as anyone else. I live with my boyfriend Chris who is 20 and works as a mechanic.
Keep in mind that homosexuality is very accepted in my country but that there are a lot of prejugdes (spelled?) against us still. I love who I am, I love my boyfriend and I love God.
Amen to that.
