Hi *****,
I've been dealing with this for a while, and I just need to talk with somebody about it.
I think that I may be Lesbian or Bi. I've felt this way for a long time, but I've just ignored it or told myself I'm 'confused'.
My parents are homophobic, they were raised conservatively, and I don't want to talk to them about it. They don't know yet.
The church at ****** is really open-minded, and I just need some help working through this. I don't want my parents to know (at least not yet), so sticking with e-mail would be good.
Thank you for being there,
*****
That's the letter we just sent to our pastor.
If not now, when?
Sure, it's Coronavirus.
Sure, I'm quarantined in with my homophobic parents.
Sure, I have absolutely nowhere to go and no resources to speak of.
Sure, I'm currently sitting in a closet (really) crying.
Sure, I'm mentally probably not ready for this.
But, if not now, when?
Wherever you are, good luck.
And I love you.
And so. does. God.
