- A question for those of you that may have experienced guilt coming to terms
- with your gay/lesbian or bisexual lifestyle and feelings. If you did
- experience guilt was the source more from religious upbringing or from being
- different from mainstream society? Also, and more importantly, is the feeling
- of guilt the same for that brought on by religion versus that from social
- differences (i.e., are there two different kind/feelings of guilt)?
-
- No guilt. I haven't had any guilt about things sexual since getting
- over it with the masturbation thing.
-
- The impact from society comes elsewhere: a difficulty in seeing my
- relationship as a 'legitimate' relationship, because of all the
- portrayals of 'proper' relationships in the media and the like...
