I was twelve when I first realized I was attracted to girls. I didn't want to say or do anything about it--what was there to say? Who could I tell? I thought the feeling would go away eventually; that it was just a phase, like everyone would usually say. It isn't, though. I'm seventeen now and I'm sure about my feelings more than ever. I like girls, and I don't think I've ever liked anyone of my opposite gender. Yes, I've had a few boyfriends every now and then.. and a girlfriend, twice. I'm currently not in a relationship with anyone at the moment but looking back then, my feelings towards the two genders were definitely different and I can't pinpoint what exactly it was in the relationship that made it different, but it just was. I saw something in girls that I've never seen in boys. My feelings felt more concrete, more real. I like girls and I don't like boys, not at all. I feel so much happier, so much lighter, so much more of myself whenever I'm with girls. It's never felt right with a boy. But I don't know if it's a good thing or not. My fear has been eating me up inside and I don't know if it's right. I don't know if it's okay, being Catholic and also being homosexual. I don't know if I'd be accepted the way I want to be accepted, I don't know if I'd be looked at the same way if I ever told anyone. This is who I am, this is who I've always been, and I don't think this is a phase. I don't think it has something to do with "finding the right person". I know I haven't found my true partner yet but I know I won't find it in a man. I like girls, but will I be damned? Will God look down at me, call me a fool? Will He talk to me in a condescending tone for being both a firm believer of His Word and a lover of people of my own gender? Is it wrong?

Hello I am 15 years old. This year I started to get involved in relations with boys my age. Everything was going okay until I started to do sexual activities with them. I am still a virgin but I need guidance on how i can stop this so that I can stay one. I know that my religion says its wrong and I feel very dirty for doing it. I have stopped seeing my most current boyfriend. How can I change for the better?

Transsexuals are people who identify as the opposite of the gender they were born with. (eg: trans boys were originally born female, but eventually changed their gender identity. Though they were born female, they're to be identified as male and referred to with he/him pronouns. vice versa with trans women.) There has been a long discussion on trans people and their rights -- and saying trans, this includes trans people pre-surgery and pre-testosterone as well. What are your opinions on them?

I searched on the forum for discussions on bisexuality and got 0 results, which surprised me. I myself am bisexual, but have only been in straight relationships. I've made a poll with simple answers, and you may answer them anonymously. If you'd like to elaborate your opinions that would be great! EDIT: Something must've gone wrong when I searched "bisexuality", I just tried again and found lots of results! I will check those threads out.

So I find this easy, yet hard, to believe, being that the world is so corrupt now. But a few months ago, New York legally recognized THIRTY-ONE GENDERS. WHAT?! The most I could thing of is male, female, male who wants to be female, and vise versa (the last two I personally don't consider genders, but it's the only other thing that comes to mind for the Liberal-type genders). Looking further into it however, they have what I consider sexualities tied into it, going as far into bestiality and "asexual". Some are, I assume, the same thing repeated in a different way, like there was Male to Female, then following was MTF, then the same for female to Male. So honestly, I know this is a sin and there is no possible way of changing my mind. I just wanna hear what you guys think about it, and also get the word out to those who are unaware of this new change.
