Whatever you do do not take advice from that site. It is the worst. People are just flat out ignorant on it and a lot of people post just to up their point status. I knew this girl that used to do that.
Have you considered a fresh start and finding a new youth group? Maybe if you started fresh in another group they wouldn't have a set image of you and it would be easier to try and be yourself. I mean if the members of your group are all anti-LGBT you are going to face a backlash if you go further then what is comfortable to them or what they deem appropriate.
I mean how far can you get with them if they believe homosexuality is a learned behavior? There is no evidence either way except for the fact every single gay person say they have no choice. Every trans person says they have no choice. So either everyone is a liar and in a conspiracy or it is not learned. That really is beside the point though. I just feel like you need to find yourself and the group doesn't seem very condusive to that type of self exploration so if you stay in it how much will you really be able to do. There are more progressive sects of Christianity where being gay or trans is not condemned. But obviously that is just a suggestion.
Yeah, it is bad, except for some areas, but politics and religious are sections I will never go into again.
I can't really find a new youth group, this is the best one in my area. There is one that sounds like it might be more open to LGBT stuff, because there used to be a rumor that the leader was gay, but that church is weird to be honest. The catholic youth group was just.. I ended up sitting alone while everyone else were in small groups talking, I ended up leaving when I realized that the catholic church is also weird to me.
Anyways, I am also not sure if they already see me as a certain way, since really all they have heard from me, is a few words here and there. There are 1 or 2 people who support LGBT kind of. But, I usually just sit quietly and watch how other people act.
But, really, if they want to tell me I am wrong, then I will listen, and then reply with what I think, and hopefully they will listen as well. I still have until August for the next time I go, and that is a movie night. Though, I am thinking about just acting totally feminine to see how people would react(wouldn't surprise me if one of the guys starts acting friendly, kind of obvious that he is gay).
