I'm a Christian along with my family. I've tried different religions and questioned my religion. Those experiences have strengthened my religion now. My mom is an ex-catholic, so all of her beliefs are embedded in her and she is more closed minded than she'd like to admit. I'm really close with all of my family who is really religious. But, I recently found out I'm bisexual... I've been so distressed, crying non-stop just thinking what my mom would do to me if she ever found out. My family would always joke asking what'd my mom would do if any of us were gay and she always said she wouldn't love and beat us. I tried and still am trying to find any where in the bible or any justification from God that it's okay to be who I am {also confused bc I went to church and saw the bi flag unintentionally in the lights while the preacher was talking against homosexuality}. My mom and I have argued over and over again with me just letting it go because she always changes her argument {"no other animal on earth is naturally gay" 'yeah they are mom' "we aren't animals we're more civilized"}. My brothers girlfriend/fiancé, who's very open-minded, said she was bi when I was talking about it one time. But she's dating my brother and only my brother and I know she's bi so my mom would never listen to her. I really don't know what to don't know what to do. My mom thinks being gay or bi can be "fixed" and I know she'll send me off somewhere and never talk to me again or says it's a phase and hate me. If you have ANY advice please help.
