He deserves to know...that I'm gay.

However, there is a time and place for everything

If I tell him too soon, I could end up on the street with nowhere to go.

I can wait until I solidify things with my love...but then it would seem like I'm using him...I'm not though....I love him unconventionally and unconditionally.

my father is hardcore christian. any other gays have either parent like that?

my mother and I feel the same way about christians...(we'll still help christians...but we accept hell as our punishment. christians shouldn't worry about us...we only hope that at least you kids get to heaven. you deserve as much, compared to the troubles us adults have caused and are about to cause....)

anyways...I dunno, this seems so similar to my last post, but so different...he's one room over, and can hear the love music I play....I told him I almost dated a gay guy before(which is true, but haven't told him about the current one...)

I'm scared to tell him....will there be a place for me if he kicks me out? I have no friends who would allow me to stay with them if they knew I was gay...and only my current love would let me stay with him...but I don't want to impose...

Are you currently in school or not (it matters because maybe if he DOES kick you out, this would be the worst case, then you can talk to a school counselor and find a place to live).

I couldn't tell you, I don't know what your home situation is or how your dad is. Just catch him at a good time and be sincere

I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

I live w/ my grandparents... My Mother was the only one who accepted my sexuality in my family, but she passed away almost two years ago.
I understand where you're coming from though because my whole family is Christian and very religious...
If you believe it could cause conflict, wait til the right time, but you wont be happy until its off your chest.
Me, I choose to keep it to myself... I mean, everybody in my family knows by now, but I dont try and put it out there.

Your Father will always love you, no matter what...
Afterall, he is a Christian and it would hypocritical of him not to...
Right?

get a close relationship going with him.

then ask questions about contradictions in the bible in a way to show that you are interested in the answer and not in attacking christianity.

for example; would someone go to hell for mixing meat and milk? (wait for his answer) then say because the bible specifically says its forbidden

would a loving person who believed that jesus is the lord and saviour but worked on sundays go to hell?

have those talks with him, then when u wanna come out act as if u hate yourself for it and yur gonna go 2 hell now, give him a hug and tell him how sorry u r. if u want ask him y a gay would go 2 hell while someone who worked on sundays wouldnt. coz in the bible someone is stoned for working on the day of rest

I don't think the Christian doctrine is that everybody goes to hell. Homosexuality I think is considered the same way as aldultery. Both are sins, but the whole point is that every single human has fallen short of the glory of God and has to pray for forgiveness, and try to follow the ten commandments and have faith in the trinity. Lying is a sin too ya know, and like, every three year old has lied. You just have to try your best to have faith in and love God.

That's debatable.
