work on your internalized homophobia by finding queer friendly and open religions spaces. you’re not wrong for being queer, and you’re queerness and religious can co exist

I love my unitarian universalist church and would highly recommend one for anyone who wants the community feel, the singing, the food, and hopefully the friendship. you would not be the only one navigating healing your spirituality/religion and there's no pressure to think any certain way!

Queen never be disgusted by who you are! You are capable of love and you are beautiful! As for religion if they judge you do dont except you A. Thats their loss and B. They may be struggling with the same internalized guilt or may just be misguided and misinformed about what our community is. We are who we are dont run from it embrace it and forgive yourself because at the end of the day you are the only person who’s opinion matters!

But I’ll say I also always have the irrational fear that god won’t love me because of how I feel or that I’ll be seen differently but I have learned more and more of who God is in my own time and have realized that he sees us all the same. He does not show favoritism. It’s just terrifying because I’ve been raised in such a conservative area where it’s frowned upon. Which just instills the same feeling of internalized guilt.
