I’m Catholic and queer, and I don’t know what to do. Do I abandon my God or myself? Everyone tells me I have to abandon everything that isn’t in Gods plan but… I don’t see how me being in love would ever be against His plan.

I mostly agree as long as they’re not propagating anti-queer rhetoric

Religious trauma is real. I don’t blame any queer person struggling in a homophobic religion, but I also don’t blame the people who are rightfully upset at the harm their religion has caused.

Being outwardly homophobic can be a way of coping too. Being surrounded by it and having to hide that part of yourself. Idk what to think of people who do that. I think it’s cruel to put other people down like that, but I’ve never been there and really can’t judge
