2) I’m switching schools.  Why would I do that when I have only one semester left?  Because I need a new environment.  I’ve been going through a sever depression from, well, a long time ago.  I went from being an A/B student to getting mostly Ds now.  I need a place in which I can work in a less stressful place.  So I’m going to a charter school which focuses on independent study and where I can work on my Japanese.  Believe it or not, depression can be pretty hard to deal with and debilitating.

If anyone wants to discuss me being gay, contact me.  Not my parents.  This is just who I am and it has nothing to do with them.  It seems rather silly that anyone would think that, but some do.  I also do not believe that homosexuality is a sin.  The Bible can be interpreted in a myriad of ways.  Christians should see that they base their beliefs off of the New Testament, and wonder of wonders, Jesus said nothing about being gay.  And if we’re going by the old testament, looks like having concubines, multiples wives, selling girls for slaves, etc are all now legal.  But the most important fact is that people really have no right to force their moral beliefs on others.  I can be who I want to, and you can too.  It’s the joy of being in America.

Some people who found out about this via my Facebook account handled things badly.  I’m not even going to mince words or cover up the truth.  My family was deeply offended and so was I.  Thank you to the family members that have been overwhelmingly supportive through what has been a difficult time for me.  I hope others will gain some understanding for people who are just a bit different than they are.

And to CFHS students, I’ll miss some of you a lot.  And some of you I think need to grow up.
