Anonymous asked: My parents quietly disapprove of my sexuality as a lesbian, and I know if I did choose to pursue a relationship with someone of the same-sex, it is certain to cause serious rifts in the family. I am not really religious, but I feel like to avoid the disapproval of those who are religious, I should just be single and not 'act' on my feelings. I've never been in a relationship before - I am 16. I don't want to be single forever, but should I choose celibacy to keep the peace? I hate conflict.

I’m so sorry. That’s the suckiest thing ever. Now listen up and listen good, do not ever ever ever change who you are, who you love, or who you fuck for anyone. Anyone! I don’t give a shit if someone’s religion says I shouldn’t be tattooed or wear polyester or be a woman in church or eat shellfish (those are all real, look it up). It’s not my religion and I’m not adhering to it. It’s important to respect others religions, but it’s equally important that they respect your opinions and/or lack of religion. People are going to hate things you do, don’t compromise your love life to try to make someone else happy. It’s bullshit. You’ll be miserable, and there will be other things they won’t like you for. Don’t live your life trying to please someone else. I can promise that is a wasted life, dearie.
