Homosexuality and religion are great combination, guys.
Imagine a 14-year-old kid going to the church with his family and hearing the priest say, on his way to the church, he saw two guys and two girls holding hands, and added how sinful the world has become.
The kid reached out for his mother, but all she did was stare at him in silence. He reached out for his grandma, but all she said was, "Do what's right." He reached out to his friend, but all he could get was, "Pray for you to be on the right path." And so he did, for him to change, to stop feeling "wronged", and he cries because every word feels like a rejection of who he is.> Deliver my soul, Lord.
Ever since that day, that kid experienced internalized homophobia— hates parts of himself and concluded that he'd always be alone in his life because he doesn't want others to be as sinful as him.
Anyway, that's me. I'm the kid.
