( trigger warning)

A couple summers ago my mom signed me and my little brother up for a Bible study day summer camp. Where everyone there including the kids are close-minded and some of them don't know anything about lgbtq other than the fact that they believe it's a sin. So one day while I was at Camp I just so happen to be feeling depressed. and I was trying to talk to this girl but it ended on an awkward note. So I told this guy that volunteer to help with the kids. ( he was old enough to be someone's Grandpa) that I feel like I ruin every conversation that I'm in. He then started offering me a rope and drive me to a bridge..... I didn't say anything.........He then continued to offer the other things such as switchblades and pills........ Then patted my back and walked away like I was the wired one.

And then the summer before last I came out to a girl in my Bible study class as trans. She asked me what trans was. Because she didn't know what I was talking about..... the word spread and before I know it I have a bunch of grandparents walking up to me and questioning me I'm telling me that I need to stop. Saying that they're too young to know about that and that I'm a bad influence on the kids and if I continue to talk about it that they'll call my parents. While I was there I ask a lot of questions. And apparently they assumed me asking questions automatically meant that I'm an atheist period so they then went to my Christian anti-lgbtq mother and stepdad. These two family friends found out about me being trans. Both of them said that they're accepting and that they have gay and trans friends. Then the mother goes on to saying that God made me a beautiful girl and I should stay that way.

Also when my non and step dad found I got a full on lecture. About how being gay is a "sin" and how god burnt down cities in the Bible for being gay. That gay relationships are "about nothing but s3x". My step dad then called me out saying that he thinks I'm questioning my gender. And asked me if I am. I said no to avoid anymore drama. They then went on to say that it was a good thing.
