So, I'm going to a Pride celebration this weekend
My aunt recently (like last night) confessed that she has decided she's not hetro sexual anymore, which I pretty much knew anyway, but she is big on God and the bible, and has denied this part of her for a LONG time. She admitted it to herself back in January. Anyway, the Lansing Pride is this weekend, and she invited me to go with her, and I told her I would.
So, those are my weekend plans. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Cool beans, Gilly. She's very lucky to have a supportive family member such as yourself. There's a really cool website run by a predominantly lesbian and gay parish in Texas that has some great resources for LGBT Christians.
Check 'em out at http://www.gaychurch.org.
Have a great weekend!

She's looked up loads of websites about homosexuality and the Church, and even found a few churches in her area that cater to the gay communitie, but I think overall, she's still very much in the closet, hiding behind the clothes. ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif) She's fine with me knowing, but she feels very strongly against other people knowing. She's terrified of what her church friends will think, as well as how the rest of the family would take it.

Just got back from the Lansing Pride celebration. It was different, but fun. I have strong bi-curiosity to begin with, so the whole thing felt really natural to me. I did get hit on, a few times, which was also kind of fun.
Tonight, I'm going with my aunt to a local gay bar. -grins- We also took turns trying to scar the other, and we came to a disicion. I have more experiance with women, and regardless of what she tries to scar me with, I have something I can top her with. ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)

Gilly,
I'm glad it went well. I hope it continues to do so, for her sake.
Good luck - and don't drink too much.

Nah, I'm not a drinker really. Plus, on my meds, I just don't drink at all anymore. It's been 6 months since I drank more than 1 drink, and there's only been 2 occasions since New Years where I drank a single drink in a sitting.

I've heard of Canton, but can't really say as I know specifically what area it is in. This weekend there is another one in Grand Rapids, where I'm originally from, and where my Aunt lives. Because of her heavy ties with a church that is completly anti-homosexual, though, she is not going to attend this one. She has too many "friends" that could very well be there protesting.
I've tried to tell her that if you can't accept someone for who and what they are, then they aren't your friend. She said she knows, but that she still wants these people in her life. That's her desicion of course. I just hope things work out good for her in the long run. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif)
