• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Firstly let me apologize if I put this in the wrong section, feel free to move it.

I've been pondering joining this website for a while just because of the sheer controversy of this topic.

I am a Christian man (Even though some of you are about to doubt that fact) I am also a Homosexual.

I'll keep this short and to the point.

For years (Actually for as long as I can remember) I have *Struggled* with this and the way I feel towards it. The last several years I have come to terms with it and in Fact am Happier then I have ever been. To be honest in the past when I *struggled* with it I fell into a Huge Deep deppression and ate myself into oblivion. I gained a lot of weight and ended up eing over 260lbs. Today I weigh a MUCH healthier 145 (I'm only 5'5" 21y/o) and can honestly say I'm Happier.

I just want to hear feedback. Get some other perspectives and points of view. Honestly I'm not torn between who I am, However I do want to see how other Christians from the other side of the spectrum view someone like me.

The rules of this forum say that we can't post anything 'condoning' homosexuality, so you will struggle to get any discussion that is not very one sided.
You might be better putting this in the Christian philosophy and ethics area, where I think it is permitted.

As a fellow-struggler with this, I am very glad that you have found happiness, I know how hard it is.
I would be glad to hear more in an area where it won't cause problems for staff :)

Hello, sir. Welcome to the forums!

I am also a Christian gay 21-year-old--note "Christian" before "gay", for that identity is what lasts and what matters; "gay" is temporary and, while not inconsequential, certainly not as important.

It's great that you are not "torn", but I hope that it's because you've chosen to put "Christ" before "gay". If such is the case, while it's great to invite comment, don't let them shake your faith!

Other than that, I suppose I'll let the thread take its course.

May our great God, to whom all glory is due, bless you and keep you.

This thread has been closed. Recovery FSG's state the following:

Endorsement of certain topics - This is not allowable and staff will remove any posts which endorse any of the following topics.


  • drug use
  • gambling
  • polygamy
  • extramarital or premarital sexual activity.
  • homosexuality
  • transsexuality
  • abortion.
Recovery is a place people come to stop doing these things and using the Christian faith to help cope with problems. Other areas of CF can be used for discussions of many of these topics including, in some cases, endorsement of them. Included in this rule is posting triggers to self harmful behaviors.
