Hi my name is Alli

[allid]

So I am a 20 yr old female who has grown up in the christian church. I have come out but am still dealing with issues especially since most of my family is very religious and anti-gay. Does anyone know of anything that could possibly answer my questions and help me find peace with being torn between all of the anti gay religious teachings I have been taught my entire life and being true with who I am?
Anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

read Psalm 139, then read it again out loud using the word "I" instead of "you", then read it again out loud using your name instead of "you". God loves you Alli just as He created you!
Peace to All

Welcome to the site, Alli. God loves us as we are. I'm a transgender person and God affirmed me as one. He loves you as you are.

I am just so confused. I am dealing with my parents and my entire childhood telling me things, then I have this amazing girl who loves me that I have been in a relationship for a year, that I just moved away from. She wants to move down with me and she knows I am struggling with this but I need peace. I don't want to bring her into my turmoil. I do love her though.
