But anyway. My mom said that she was going to tell. Me and my brother about her boyfriend when we got back and now I'm kinda anxious.

  I didnt bring it up to her again after when she told me because I didnt want it to turn into anything big.

  And I knew that all I had to do was wait and she would tell on her own time.

  But questions still just go around in my head. I dont know if she's going to want us to meet him soon or what.

  I'd assume so. But yeah.

  Also this isn't related to the chapter at all but I dont feel like making a new one.

  I came out! Only to two friends so far but still.

  Turns out both of those friends are also members of the LGBTQ+ community. I kinda knew about one of them but I wasnt sure what she considered herself.

  And my other friend that I brought along to the cabin with me, she had told me like a year ago that she was questioning but never followed up on it. So both of them are bi.

  I'm just happy that now I can be myself around a couple of people.

  I'm just going to slowly come out though.

  One of my closest friends (who is also close with the friend I brought to the cabin) is homophobic.

  Me and my cabin friend talked about it. My homophobic friend used the bible to back up her opinion.

  She's also transphobic so theres that too. Her whole family is like super conservative.

  So what I'm going to do is read up on this topic in the bible so that I can have a conversation with her.

   Because really, her opinion is not right. She's just wrong.

  I know it's hard to convince people about this type of thing, but I can try and if she doesn't accept us then Oh well. I'm not going to get mad but I'll make it clear that if she isn't accepting that I'll have to cut ties with her.

  I just won't be able to be around her knowing that she has opinions of me.

  She's not totally against it. When we were on the topic I didnt say anything. I just listened to what she though.

  She said "I'll get along with them, but i wont agree with them."

And this one is just- >:(

  "If you love god, you need to give up parts of yourself for him."

  Like NO THAT IS NOT CORRECT

You can't just "give up parts of yourself" especially this part.

  The bible verse that she referenced was the classic "man shall not lay with man"

  That is translated wrong and is actually talking about pedophilia.

  Also even if it was a sin WHICH IT ISN'T, a few verses after it says that you can't wear two types of fabrics together.

  So no cotton or polyester in the same outfit.

  So either homosexuality is a tiny sin or wearing two fabrics in a ginormous unforgivable sin.

  Anywho. That went off topic.

  Moral of the story, I'm scared about my mom's new boyfriend and I came out but one of my closest friends may not accept me.

  Fun.
