Hi Taylor. Welcome to EvC. Without resorting to hate speech on homosexuality I want to list a few facts for you to consider.
1. Clearly the Bible in both the Old Testament and the New Testament teaches that any deviant form of sex is sinful, restricting sexual activity strictly between a husband and a wife.
2. Homosexuality is not natural. Whether mankind evolved or whether we were created by God, the natural physiology of our bodies is designed for male and female sex union, both pertaining to the animals and to humans. It's also in the insect world.
3. What's normal pertaining to our bodies is best.
4. What is abnormal is naturally rejected, unacceptable and repulsive to the majority of society, so don't be surprised that your family and school et al are upset about this announcement. Until recent years, nearly all cultures in history rejected this abnormal lifestyle.
5. This lifestyle has been unlawful in many cultures and nations throughout history.
6. Sex outside of marriage has a history of initiating health problems.
7. Inhibitions pertaining to abnormality are good and necessary for society. We all must exercise them to some extent. Bad things like rape, murder, unwanted pregnancy, venerial disease et al happen when folks have no inhibitions.
8. Parents are generally more experienced, wiser and more knowledgeable than children. They generally love their children and advocate what's really best for them. My advice is to honor, love and obey them so long as you are under their roof with a good attitude towards these who've worked hard to feed you, provide your home, take care of you and protect you all your life.
9. The Bible is a reliable source for morality, religion, fulfilled prophecy, social guidance and everything else pertaing to life. Nations and cultures which have historically followed it's principles have been the most blessed, free and prosperous nations of the world so my advice is to hold to it and it's principles if you want a good life.
10. Some are suggesting that all the female hormones given to cows and other animals which provide our food supply are a factor in the present phenomenon of increased homosexuality. I'm not able to verify anything on this but perhaps there's something to it. We purposfully avoid these products going with natural when we can.
11. I personally know a young man who had similar feelings as you. He was a Christian and asked me what God thought about homosexuality. I showed him where Biblically it was a sinful practice and that God abhored it to the point of destroying cities in which it was rampant and including it in the death penalty for Jews under the Mosaic Levitical Law et al.
He never mentioned it again to me but went on to marry a fine woman and raise a family. His urge left him. This happens often and it is not impossible to go natural regardless of one's urges.
The above is for your consideration so as to hopefully help you understand why this is so problematic with your friends and family and why your first inhibitions and guilt feelings were likely for your good. What is abnormal would naturally likely cause one to have this first reaction. That's for a purpose, to keep your lifestyle normal and natural as you are made to be as per the physiology of your body sex wise.
I will be praying for you.
