Have You Ever Been So Low You Didn't Know Where to Go?

A year ago, I found out that I was gay i started out by telling a couple of my best friends. I gradually cme to a point where I thought that it was unfair to keep it from my crush. I told her how I felt. Then, when I told her that she was the one, she totally freaked and wouldn't talk to me anymore. She was my friend for six years. It totally hurt. From there on, I started coming out to everyone. It was difficult. My grandpa is a Franciscan, and my uncle and godfather is a priest. I came to a point where I met another girl, and she ended up cheating on me. I am in a new town, trying to find the GSA support. I even had to start a GSA at my school of 4,000 people! I dunno. I was just wondering how y'all felt.

The way I see it,

knowing where to go isn't important, getting there is what matters. Life will always go on, so why not just let it run it's course, for better or for worse.

Umm..

There is one jump in logic in your post.

It was unfair to keep your sexuality from your friend, yes. Telling her, in addition to your new sexuality, that you were also into her was not the same process. People need time to adapt to your coming out, even if she were gay it could have taken a while for her to build up her courage to tell you. But, likely, she wasn't (as the resolution to most straight crushes here would attest).

So, it is hard to tell whether she would have been OK with having a gay best friend separate from a gay best friend who wanted to get into her knickers.

That sucks. At least I had a GSA to fall back on here. But hun, other than that, it happens all over. My best friend - I mean best, we were like brothers, almost totally inseprable - wouldn't get near me after he found out I was gay. Then he found out I liked him. Ironically, that made him talk to me, and pretend to be okay with it untill finally deciding he hated me again, lol. I'm just trying to say that really, life happens, and we have to go on.
