When I came out I was 13 and my only friends were church friends because I was home-schooled. Due to me being home-schooled I felt alone, I had no one to talk to about what I was going through, and I felt I couldn’t tell any of my church friends because I was scared how they would take it. I was not ready to lose the only friends I had. But one day one of my friends was telling me in private that she had feelings for another girl. Then suddenly I jumped out of my seat, turned to her, and said, “Thank God you said that because I’m gay.” (M/15/Gay)
