I'm contagious - I have lesbianism.
Hello...my name is Teresa and I am a lesbian.
 I recently "came out" to my mother the fall of 2006 which yes devastated her to that point she could not speak for a few minutes. Let's fast forward to today ...my wonderful Mom could care less - she still loves me for me. We even can joke about me in my tomboy years and for her ignoring the "signs." She can at least laugh... My only sister 8 years older than I, has such hate in her that I am a lesbian, that she has nothing to do with me ie: no birthday cards, no holiday gifts, no phone calls, no emails etc.. - we are no longer siblings! She has even emailed me that James Dobson article (posted on this site) of how bad gays are etc..etc.. and that we gays are trying to take over the world. We have got into heated arguments and there is no listening on her part - she is a perfect Christian while I am an unpure damned (false Christian) lesbian. My sis has managed to get her kids even away from me, since gays are known to "steal the youth" of their childhood and brainwash them. I never knew I had such powers..... My sister was the one that initially "outed" me to my mom, and she recently (2 months ago) "outed" me to my father - which he too could care less, or perhaps he did not hear her as she was in their living room accusing them of being poor parents and not agreeing to throw me to the streets. I am a no good person... So yes, being open to my family has been a blessing - I feel at ease with myself, except for my hateful sister that managed to get her "immediate" family (husband, and kids) to see me as being bad and someone that needs to be avoided. I feel like I have a contagious disease when she speaks of me. I'm still the same 'ol me. My sister cared and loved me before I was honest with her the Fall of 2006 when I told her I was a lesbian. Now for the last two years, I haven't had a sister. In the last year, I left my home State to move where there are more open minded people that could care less that there are gays/lesbians that exist in their own neighborhood. I just need to make more gay friends.... to spread the disease around faster!!

Ohio is more open minded?!? You must be in Youngstown or Cleveland or something!
 Welcome, Teresa. Sorry you've lost a sister, but you've gained your self!

I started out in the Cleveland area, now I'm South of Canton. Compared to North Dakota - Ohio is VERY open.

Wow.
Welcome. Sorry that this rift has opened up between you and your sister. Sounds like she's been pretty brainwashed into that "gays are bad" stuff, and what a cost! Your nieces/nephews have to be deprived of their aunt because of the lies someone told your sister. I am sorry. Welcome to Soulforce. This is a kind, yet whacky, bunch of folks. I hope you will enjoy it here.

Welcome, PL, you sure do get around
I assume that you don't mind that I mention that you sent me an email, and we haven't even met yet, even online. You obviously don't suffer from being overly shy. I sent a reply, of course, and again, I do offer my sympathy, as far as your sister is concerned.
Well, jump right into any threads you take a fancy to. I couldn't stop you, and surely wouldn't want to. Say, if I admitted to being a closet lesbian, could you email me the virus? I've always wanted to grow up to be Ann Bancroft, or maybe Martina Navratilova. Some of my favorite people. Come back and chat with us, 'bout most anything.  Peace and Love, Bruce Chris

I no longer consider myself closeted - if someone asks, I tell - so what?! My biggest worry was my family and friends and so far the family that counts - don't care. The friends that know, have proved to be my best friends...

Now, I have competition for that job? Oh well! Suck it up, Andy. Glad to have you here, Prairielesbain. Despite the pain of your sister's rejection, you sound like you have a healthy respect for yourself. I will look forward to seeing more of your posts. You may be the new comic relief, but I bet I have more voices in my head than you do.

Welcome Teresa,
Glad to have you join us. And we need some comic relief. Otherwise we are stuck with Andy who THINKS he's funny. But that is a story for another time... But if you don't mind I think I will stay away. I really don't want to catch lesbianism. My mom has just gotten adjusted to having a gay son. She really wouldn't understand if I became a lesbian.  Seriously, however, it took my mom about six months to really adjust to my "coming out" last year. It is a blessing to have a loving mom. I am glad that you have had the same experience. Too bad about your sister's attitude. I pray that time will change things. I have no siblings so I didn't have to deal with those relationships. I have to contradict Keltic though. I say go WEST. I am partial to the west. I have found amazing acceptance from the people around me here in the mountain west. We out here in the mountain west feel neglected. There aren't very many of us, and we are often overlooked. (sniff, sniff). But even if we are overlooked, we have the scenery to make up for it. Please let us know more about you. Tu Amigo, Pablo

Welcome
Hi Teresa and welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your sister's reaction. Thank God for your mom. I'm Transgender and I'm one of those yucky people that Dobson says are 'damned to hell' but I'm happy. A big hug for you.

So, running with that and making extensions, that would mean women who have sex with men are lesbians, as well as men who have sex with women are lesbians. And of course, lesbians are already lesbians. . . . . . so, basically, everyone except gay men, is lesbian. Wait -- now I've gotten confused. . . .

This is my "second" day on this site, and I'm already being tugged in two different directions. Go West...no, Come East...
I'm only 2-3 hours from Pittsburg and would love to get there sometime, and maybe even to Philly. Something has to be good in PA.

More about me?
Where does one start? As my name states: (prairielesbian) I come from the prairie lands of N.D. - Bismarck being my main stomping ground. Love Bismarck, but not much of "us" there - or the closests are really packed.
I am the baby of the family. I have two older bros, and of course one hateful sister. I have two wonderful neices and 3 nephews that I no longer know - which hurts yes, but life does go on.... I moved to Ohio last Fall for a new change - such as more college options (since I exhausted the University systems back in N.D.) to better paying jobs. Let me add a note here: I've applied to over 300 jobs and can't land one, and I don know why except my lesbianism must be oozing. ??? I don't flaunt who I am - I'm just me! Is it the economy??? I have to fingerpoint to something... So during my lowest moments of deep depression, I've started to write a book, (have to be in a positive moment to write) right along with getting back into College to study as a Physician Assistant. Always wanted to be a family Dr. - but time is running out..... Have my college advising next Monday. I love the outdoors, be it walking, biking, motorcycling, working around in the yard, playing with the pets, introducing people to geocaching, or just hanging out making people laugh at my quirkyness and my N.D. accent. (People around here just want me to say words - not sentences...)  I even love photography and enjoy taking scenic shots be it waterfalls, mountains, trees to animals, or of other nature doings - keep this clean people!!! I've even done wedding photos - I hate working with loud obnoxious undomesticated heterosexuals - they don't listen... YOU WANT PHOTOS OF YOUR WEDDING? LISTEN TO ME THEN!  Not sure what else you gals and guys would want to know of me, so Im turning over the mic for further questions so dont fight over it! One at a time please...
