I have so many thoughts reading this thread, but since I can't find a way to get everything into the right words or say all that I think is relevant without writing a three-page essay, I'll just say that my coming out was easy in a sense, too. "Easy" perhaps isn't the right word though; it's not like I felt or feel accepted by my family or anything. I really just mean that it didn't come with the horror stories that a lot of coming outs come with (being kicked out, violence, having everything in your life restricted, sent to conversion therapy or forced to Church it out of you, etc.). I didn't come out until I was in college and it was sort of one of those things that I'm sure everyone just kind of knew by then. I grew up in love with The Little Mermaid and Sailor Moon, wanted to play with Barbies, etc. You get the picture. My mother even found gay porn in my room when I was in middle school. <-- That was not my coming out, ironically enough. That wasn't until I was in my first or second year in college. I was out with my friends first. I live in the South and, no, I did not want to be out while in high school with all the monsters around me.
I consider myself Christian as well. It's a complex thing to talk about, and I'm not sure how to do it in the right way that doesn't either misrepresent God in some way or harm somebody else somehow. I am not a "teacher" and don't want to lead someone else astray unintentionally. I just say I understand this distance between being gay and perception of religion. Maybe in time you can find a way to assess religion without having family members or other people who are hateful in mind the way I did. If you've ever seen The Shack, it's true that sometimes you have to unpack or unlearn things you thought about God from your upbringing to see Him in the proper way. And that's only if you want to--as already said, being a Christian is not something that can be forced onto a person and God does not want people to force it on others either. You drop seeds and let them seek for themselves if they personally choose to. That's all you can do besides try (emphasis on the "try," since I often fail in that regard) to lead by example as a light in a dark world.
And see, now, I've already wrote more than I was going to. This subject is multi-faceted and hard to pin down.
