So my friend is a boy, but everything he does is girly, to the way he dresses, walks, and talks. We’re both grown men but his voice naturally sounds even more feminine than my own sister’s voice. I can’t help but feel attracted to him. He’s skinny with long black hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a smile that drives me nuts. He’s the perfect girlfriend, but a dude.

In today’s society, not too many people would judge me if I had gay feelings but I’m “blessed” to have parents that were raised on strict Christian values. My uncle is gay but he’s never told anyone because he’s just as afraid as I am that if he DID tell, he’d be an outcast and never spoken to again. I wish there was a way for me to date my friend and still be a part of my family.
