I'm sorry you're feeling like this. If Grandma is a supporter of the LGBT community, I would hope she would be accepting of you?

I think you may need some time for yourself to enjoy your tru

self to be confident and stand up for you identity. In the mean time breath and find other people that identify sexual like yourself and talk to them. You have love yourself before others can try to love you.

I like to give advice.,

I've just read a book called 'Saving Alex's about a girl born in America to a Mormon family. This young woman is nothing short of inspirational.

I am straight but I have no problem whatsoever with gays/lesbians, you are human like everyone else and deserve to be loved and treated with respect.

Please have a look for the book, it's excellent reading and there are lots of groups out there with people feeling the same as you.

Take care

Maybe start talking to her about the lgbt community, about what she does in the community, how she involves herself. Maybe ask if she can help you become comfortable in the community and come out of your shell. Ask her who she knows that is gay and maybe talk to them. Look for resources in your area that involve the lgbt community.

Do not be frustrated my friend, you are lucky that your Grandma has a tolerant glance on LGBT community. You must to think about your self first . Opinion of others does not matter . Anyway you will remain her beloved grandson. I was embarrassed as you to tell to my relatives that i am a lesbian but hopefully after I read "The Cunnilinguist" I don't give a fuck about opinion of others coz it is my life and relations with people who love me and appreciate as a person will not change anyway .You can find this amazing book here alexbporter.com . If you are a shy person you must read it .You will become more open minded and able freely talk about sex and do not hide your homosexual addiction .
